Rock Wights resemble tall and angular figures made from rock who live deep in mountain caves and crevasses. They do not dislike sunlight but are believed to feed on minerals, they have been seen only a few times when not summoned by a spell. They appear to be intelligent, but have never been known to speak so it must remain in doubt. They have been observed to wear various gemstones about them, perhaps Treasure 4 or 5, but not to carry tools or armour. They are not naturally aggressive, nor are they particularly skilled in combat, but can inflict massive blows with their fists. Sometimes they appear to hunt gemstones, appearing from solid rock walls (Stealth 20) and knocking people aside to get at them.

The Tegu are a breed of Spirit Goblin sometimes to be found wandering the Light Side. A Tegu stands shorter than a Keldian. A Tegu's skin is dusty red, hairless and leathery. They have long, spindly, and dexterous fingers, and large white pupil-less eyes set into sharp faces. It is very rare to see a Tegu clearly, however, since they always go about dressed in clothing made of woven razor grass. Loose sun-cloaks cover their shoulders, wide woven hats hide their heads, and their faces are concealed behind masks so that only the eyes can be seen. Many Tegu decorate their grass clothing with geometric panels and designs made from cornmeal, ochre, and lapis. Tegu usually travel in small groups of 3 or 4 individuals.

Tegu value music above all other things. They craft flutes from Razor Grass stems, and spend much of their time playing. Tegu love to collect new music, and will sometimes trade valuables like lumps of glass and lapis for new tunes. Similarly they are sometimes said to kidnap musicians and force them to play till they die of exhaustion. Stories are told of lone travellers hearing the echo of their music in the open plains, but finding only scuffed sand, or a woven mat, when they seek the source.

Tegu are not generally hostile, though they can be capricious. If threatened with violence they will play their flutes, the sound of which will enchant anyone who fails to resist. An enchanted person has their actions controlled by the Tegu for as long as the music continues, although they are allowed another roll to resist if ordered to harm someone. A single Tegu may attempt to enchant multiple people at once, but has a -2 penalty for each target after the first. Multiple Tegu can play together to control multiple people. A Tegu can also use their flutes to cast the equivalent of the spells : Air Barrier Dustflash and Chant. Doing so is exhausting. An individual Tegu can only cast one spell a day in this manner.
