Ethereal filchers do not speak.
An ethereal filcher prowls about, using its
ethereal jaunt ability to move about unseen (and often through solid objects). Upon locating a likely mark, it shifts to
the Material Plane, attempting to catch its victim unaware. The creature attempts to seize an item, then retreats quickly back to
the Ethereal Plane. It is not above delivering a bite to distract its target. Once it secures a trinket, it scurries back to its lair to admire its prize. When badly wounded, a filcher escapes rather than continuing the fight.
Any number of simple ruses can blunt a filcher's attack.
