Leshies are fey who inhabit, and are the soul of, a large forest, which they are never far from. A leshy's size varies with how close it is to the forest center; at the edge it is only about a foot tall, while at the center it is about 16 feet tall. The center of such forests often cross over between the Feywild and the Material Plane.

A leshy's clothes appear disheveled (mismatched and often worn incorrectly). These clothes change size with the leshy. Leshies do not use manufactured weapons, preferring to battle using unarmed strikes (and when larger branches and even trees as clubs and throwing rocks).

Leshies are vegetarians, surviving on what they forage from their forest.
