PUKS

Puks are tough, irritable little scalekin that usually dwell in forested areas. Their evil tempers are most unreasonable, as they will attack anything violating their territory without regard to their comparative size. (1)

Despite their ferocity, puks are mostly insectivores. And despite their nickname of "wind dragons", they are generally flightless and not true dragons. (1)

PUK HATCHLING

Puk hatchlings are, as their name implies, juvenile scalekin. Though generally not aggressive, they cause no little trouble for the farmers of Summerford by consuming the bees that would pollinate the orange trees. (1)

The hatchlings in Summerford are rather less threatening than the ones that populate Skull Valley and the Footfalls, but all are targets for young arcanists, marauders, and rogues for practice. (2)
