Devourers of Wealth. Pixiu feed upon gold, silver, jewels, and magic items. Offering them valuables is an easy way to gain their attention or to pass unmolested when they are guardians of a pass, spring, or shrine. Their love of bells, baubles, and (especially) gold and silver necklaces leads them to work with bandits and wizards, so long as they are well-fed. In particular, they enjoy looting shrines and temples of bronze or silver bells.
