Name: Knocker Rank: D Genus: Fae (Fairy) Attribute: Earth, Metallic-type attributes Traits: Seelie Fae, Earth Fairy,

Description:

The Knocker is a special breed of the Earth Fairy. They have evolved so they can adapt to the life inside mines to a great extent, allowing them to mine for metals and gems almost nonstop. They have practically given up a life in the forest for a life of digging, digging, and more digging. Do you dig?

Knockers are acknowledged by people and considered a miner's best friend. Even "wild" Knockers will warn miners and/or explorers if they are getting too close to hazardous areas such as pockets of mine gas or tunnels with unstable bedrock.

Another trait of the Knockers is that they have an uncanny knack for discovering rich veins of metals. This is not exclusive to noble metals such as gold or silver, but also metals such as tin and iron.

But they can also be quite mischievous to people they dislike, such as blowing out lights in the tunnels or hiding away mining equipment just to mess with people. Leaving behind a treat to the Knockers is enough to stay on their good side, though.

Appearance:

Knockers have the appearance of Earth Fairies with hair- and wing colors similar to various kinds of metals instead of the typical brown- and green colors common among Earth Fairies. They also prefer to wear mining outfits for clothing.

Abilities:

Danger rank: E- / D+ (whether inside a mine or not)

Rarity rank: D+

As mentioned above, Knockers can detect metal veins, use the standard trickery that Fae is known for, as well as noticing dangerous areas inside the mine.

Other than this, Knockers also have access to Earth-based magic that allows them to use the underground tunnels in a mine as their weapon. On the flip side, they are out of luck if they wish to fight outside of any underground areas. They are too specialized for the mines to perform great anywhere else. If faced against a hostile Knocker, luring them to a more advantageous battlefield for themselves is recommended.
