Well the title says it all, WOtC have posted four new psionic creatures. Here's the link.

Mind's Eye has consistently been one of their best features over the years.

Well while the boss isn't looking

The first (Dreamfane) is a CR 9 Large fey that looks like it's made from cobwebs. It can only be seen by dreamers annd feeds off those dreams.

Next is (Gruesome Lurker) a CR 3 construct that can jump from shadow to shadow and feed on fear.

This is followed by (Spryjack) a CR 3 small monstrous humanoid that uses oversized weapons to attack travellers for their most impressive, larger items.

Last is (Usunag) a CR 8 huge fey that appears as a cloud of greenish vapour which nauseates victims. They are however vulnerable to sunlight.

So a mixed bunch, its good to see more fey even if they are psionic

Here's the first few lines...

Usunag

A swelling cloud of greenish vapor hovers above the fetid water, with two points of light glittering like stars in its upper billows. A strong smell of mold and decay fills the air.

Usunag CR 8
Usually CN Huge fey (psionic)
Init +8; Senses low-light vision, scent; Listen +16, Spot +16
Languages Common, Elven, Sylvan; telepathy 120 ft.

and a bit more...

A usunag is a foglike swamp-dweller that controls the minds of invading creatures with its psychic manipulation. It abides natural creatures and fey, but bears an unwelcoming hostility to other creatures. Those who encounter this strange fey during the night are likely to be left mired in some trackless bog or never found.

Strategies and Tactics

Usunags are solitary creatures that resent the presence of most living things in their demesne. They initially respond by mentally compelling intruders to leave, but resort to more deadly measures if the target is particularly annoying or persistent. The usunag prefers to remain concealed, using psionic powers to dispatch its opponents, but it is not shy about continuing the attack if spotted. When fighting in daylight or melee, it smothers opponents with its choking vapor.

Still not your usual fey.

they're vaguely fey-ish... maybe the picture makes the difference or something.
