Notes:
Wondrous item, uncommon — rules as the DMG’24 version; this is pure flavor.
A smudgy gray satchel smelling faintly of vanilla and toasted sugar. Inside, your fingers brush “fuzz” that’s actually cocoa-dusted gumdrops. When you take a Magic action to toss one, it pops mid-air with a soft sugar crack and lands as a candy critter. The creature is Friendly, acts after you, and follows the normal Bag of Tricks rules—only now it squeaks, snorts, and roars in deliciously sugary ways. When reduced to 0 HP or at the next dawn, each confection crumbles into glittering sprinkles and a warm whiff of bakery air.
Cosmetic note: No mechanical changes—just scrumptious vibes.
Candy Critters (1d8)
1 — Weasel (taffy twist)
A stretchy stripe of saltwater taffy with licorice whiskers and sugar-pearl eyes. It elongates comically to squeeze through gaps, then snap-backs with a taffy squeak. Leaves tiny streaks of powdered sugar where it scampers.
2 — Giant Rat (toffee & brittle)
Crunchy peanut brittle plates over a chewy toffee body; nibbling sounds like someone breaking a caramel shard. Its tail is red rope-licorice that flicks and sticks with static sugar. Smells faintly of roasted nuts.
3 — Badger (chocolate-dipped)
Stout and glossy: milk-chocolate body with white-chocolate racing stripes and crushed-cookie “earth” on the paws. When it digs, cocoa powder mists the air like dust. Gives a grumbly truffle snurf.
4 — Boar (nougat & candied tusks)
Honey-nougat muscles banded with almond slivers; rock-candy crystals sheath the tusks. It snorts warm cinnamon steam, and its hoofbeats clack like jars of sweets knocking together.
5 — Panther (black licorice velvet)
A sleek statue of soft black licorice brushed with dark-chocolate sheen. It prowls in near silence save for the faint pull of licorice as muscles coil. When it pounces, a few midnight-sprinkles scatter like stars.
6 — Giant Badger (brownie & sugar glass)
A heftier cousin made of fudgy brownie, armored with crackled sugar-glass plates. It tunnels with a crrriiick like snapping brittle; emerges dusted in confectioner’s sugar “soil.”
7 — Dire Wolf (marshmallow core, candy-apple coat)
Pillowy marshmallow bulk under a hard, glossy candy-apple glaze veined with molasses. Its breath is wintergreen-cool, and its howl rises like a kettle coming to boil before a sharp toffee ping.
8 — Giant Elk (spun-sugar majesty)
Caramel-amber body with flowing ribbons of butterscotch; vast antlers sculpted from spun sugar that catch the light like frost. Each step leaves delicate sugar-lace hoofprints that fade in moments.
Summoning Cues & Table Presence
Sound: The throw lands with a soft pomf, then a quick crackling caramel as form takes shape.
Scent: A brief bloom of bakery—vanilla, cinnamon, or cocoa—matching the creature.
Vanishing: The candy critter bows, shakes off a halo of sprinkles, and collapses into sweet dust that tastes (to the imagination) of victory.
