==Enkki Description==
Enkki are small {{srd5lc|Fey}} that appear to be anthropomorphic hedgehogs. They stand 2-3 feet tall and weigh 30-35 pounds. Their fur can range from gray to reddish-brown and the tips of their quills range from tan to white. Enkki wear little clothing, but do often have vanity items (boots, hat, vest, belt, or pouch). 

They are natural {{srd5lc|Sorcerer}}s that draw on the {{5ep|Wild Magic}}. They also have the ability to imbue this magic temporarily into objects to make charms, fetishes, and potions.

Enkki are omnivores, being able to sustain themselves on both plant and animal matter, but they prefer meat (especially that of large insects and worms, if available).  

Long ago the Enkki left the {{5ep|Feywild}} (see {{iplink|The Quest}} below), and now it is rare to find one in the feywild.

==The Quest==
At least two versions of history give different reasons for the Enkki to have left the {{SRD5|Feywild}}. 

The first was that they left to learn the full depth, length and breadth of the source of magic (known as {{5ep|The Weave}} in {{5ep|Faerûn}}, and by other names in other settings). This pilgrimage has lasted for eons, and may never end as magic seems to keep changing.

The second was that their drawing on Wild Magic, and its side-effects, caused such a disruption that the Queen of Winter banished them from the Feywild until they learned all that can be known about wild magic, how to fully control it, and report back to her the full sum of that knowledge.

Whatever the reason for the Quest, Enkki have been encountered in every habitat, from arctic to burning desert, but most often near settlements and cities, seeking to learn more about the nature of magic.

==Society==
Enkki divide themselves into small family groups. These groups are usually nomadic, traveling from town to town. Often they will pull their small wagons into a circle outside of town. In town they usually sell small magic charms, tell stories, and preform magic tricks to earn coin for any supplies they need. If there is a Sorcerer or Wizardry school, they will often visit them to gain knowledge (''see The Quest (above)''). 

They are fiercely loyal to their families, of which there are generally a good number of cubs. The cubs often will outnumber the adults by a large factor. However, if a group exceeds 30 adults, the group will often divide and go separate ways. Different family groups are usually cordial with each other, sharing knowledge and cross-referencing notes. However, sometimes there is territorial conflicts. 

Their wagons are often pulled by {{SRD5|Giant Fire Beetle}}s, which the Enkki breed for the purpose.
