Fae: Punktopus

"Believed to be descended from the violently murderous 'redcaps' of Celtic mythology, the Punktopus is thankfully not quite so outwardly dangerous. One of the fae best able to pass among humanity, she seems to have a strong social drive and can quite possibly feel some form of empathy for the people around her.

Like all fae, however, the Punktopus relies on a steady diet of emotion to exist. While its tastes can vary, usually it prefers feelings of intense physical exhilaration. Because of this, the Punktopus likes to be present at things such as rallies, protests, certain sporting events, raves, orgies and the like. Quite intelligent in her own way, the Punktopus will not only do the necessary socialization to find out the most likely spots for these sorts of events, but also actively manipulate things so that more of them occur.

Unfortunately the Punktopus tends to lack a sense of scale or consequences. She will happily whip those around her into a violent frenzy and feed off the resulting emotion, but either remains ignorant or uncaring of the long-term effects of such a display. Thus demonstrations turn into riots, sporting events turn into... riots, and orgies turn into... well... riots."
