Yunwi Amai'yine'hi

Shapechanging tricksters that protect bodies of water, the yunwi amai'yine'hi come from Cherokee legend. Many stories of fishermen being rescued by friendly water creatures come from encounters with these fae. Like pooka, the yunwi amai'yine'hi may shapechange into animal form, their animal must be some sort of water creature though. They also possess an uncanny ability to control water, causing it to be still or otherwise. If they are in animal form and are caught by a trap, hunter or fisherman, they often tend to panic like an animal, and not be able to use their powers or intelligence to escape. In their fae mien, the yunwi amai'yine'hi tend to have traits of their animal affinity, much like pooka. Their large eyes resemble pools of their chosen body of water.
