Any Challenge 2 (450 XP) Master Linguists The Aigu can speak every language they encounter with fluency. Calm Hostility Each humanoid in a 60-foot-radius Sphere centered on an Aigu must make a DC 18 Charisma saving throw. If a creature fails its saving throw, it becomes indifferent about creatures that it is hostile toward. This indifference ends if the target is attacked or harmed by a spell or if it witnesses any of its Friends being harmed. Doe Eye Goo The mucus on the oversized eyes of the Aigu is like a contagion for their curse. Any creature who touches the eyes must make a DC 12 Constitution save or be turned into an Aigu themselves. They have disadvantage on this save if they touch the eye willingly, but roll normally if the Aigu somehow manages to touch them against their will, such as with its Eye Slap attack. This frees the original Aigu and they turn back into whatever race they originally were, having not aged at all during their time cursed. Once freed, the creature can never be cursed again. Actions Eye Slap Melee Attack: -4 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit 0 (Applies Doe Eye Goo)

The odd creatures known as Aigu are actually made up of any number of different races who've been lured into their trap. Though each Aigu usually has different accents to their look, such as mushroom caps or big fluffy ears, their huge glassy eyes and childlike features make them seem quite innocent and helpless to anyone who encounters them. They are condemned to a life on a small island until they can find someone to take their place, for such is their strange curse.

In order to be free, they must get another creature to touch their large gooey eyes with their bare skin, preferably willingly. The mucus from their eyes will transfer the curse to the unsuspecting victims, who will then be doomed until they find their own gullible travellers to trade places with. The Aigu can only use their guile to transfer their curse, since they're so physically pathetic and could never hope to do so by force or stealth. Luckily, they happen to have sharp mental faculties and they are incredibly cute.
