The glissi come from the planes of the
Twin Paradises, Elysium, and the Happy
Hunting Grounds. Their superiors nearly
always send them to the material plane to
be familiars; only rarely do they come to do
anything else. Like a telperan, a glissan can
polymorph itself into the shape of a human
or demi-human child about seven years old.
The glissan can also assume the shape of a
songbird, a seagull, or a miniature unicorn
(2’ high at the shoulder). As a unicorn it
becomes AC 4, runs at 24”, and strikes with
horn and hooves for 1-4/1/1.

Once per day, a glissan can cast a sleep
spell. The spell affects a single creature,
without restriction — including those of
more than 4+4 HD, any undead, and “cer-
tain other creatures specifically excluded”
from the effects of a normal sleep spell (see
the spell description and the Monster Man-
ual). Any target is allowed a saving throw;
those who are normally subject to sleep
spells save at -2.

Glissi are especially resistant (50%) to
illusions, such as phantasmal force and
related spells. Note that the illusion itself
remains unaffected and may still be believed
by others who fail to “see through it.”
Glissi are absolutely and unswervingly
committed to the cause of good, although
those from the Twin Paradises or the Happy
Hunting Grounds may have a lawful or
chaotic bias. Glissi desire only peace, life,
and happiness for all. They cannot commit
evil acts.

Glissi are slim and delicate creatures with
opalescent skin and large blue eyes. They
have fine, silvery hair that forms a halo
about their head, and a double pair of
silver-white wings, shaped like a swallow’s.
