Meazels are Small monstrous humanoids of malevolent and sneaky natures that dwell in marshes, sewers, and underground environments[1][2]. They are known to be native to Faerun, especially Cormyr[2]. Meazels are almost entirely solitary creatures[1][2]. Appearing as deformed, scabrous creatures resembling lepers, meazels carry a horrid skin disease that seems to cause them no harm save for the disfiguring red patches on their skin[1][2]. The same cannot be said for their victims, whom are gradually drained of their health and dexterity[2].
Meazels lie in wait for victims, and they readily attack and consume humanoids for their flesh, usually preying upon kobolds or orcs but will readily eat other prey.[1]. From ambush, a meazel may attack with a garrote cord to strangle victims[1]. Meazels can also attack with their claws[1][2], through which they pass their skin disease[2].
Meazels are not merely malicious ambushers but also greedy thieves, for their greed compels them to rob a dead body of all the victim's former possessions. This even extends to objects,the meazel has no use for, such as ill-fitting armor or weapons. A meazel keeps such gear in its lair, where these stolen possessions may be slept upon like a bed. This lair is infested with rats and mundane scavenger vermin, cleaning up the lair but also serving as food for the meazel.[1].
In the Land of Mists
A Faerunian meazel named Salizarr was taken by the Mists to Darkon, where he inhabited the sewers of Il Aluk.[3]
