The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
The fenghai seems to be a furry little ball with feet. Sparkling eyes peer out from a mop of russet fur, looking about with a happy curiousity. Stubby arms end in pudgy little hands that appear dextrous despite their dimensions, and the round-toed feet are covered in hair and dirt. While comical in appearance, it is obvious that the furball can take care of itself.
Hunting strategies
Fenghai are immune to non-magical weapons. They sometimes glow brightly, gaining a +70 TD boost.
Other information
They jump up and down in triumph when they kill you, and poke at your body, but otherwise do nothing interesting. They reside in the Warrens, which by implication is a breeding grounds. Their name is unusual in that it seems to be a reference unrelated to their creature description. In this context it is notable that the Warrens contains, like The Broken Lands and The Graveyard, giant mushrooms and glowing green moss as a lighting mechanism. They have some unknown religion involving rock glyphs, including depictions of a tree and the sun, and possess what appears to be a demon skull.
Behind The Scenes
In context the fenghai are likely an allusion to Native American "little people" myths, where small furry creatures (nature spirits) would live in caves near the Great Lakes and made the ancient petroglyphs (rock art) using their own blood. They were mischievous. The fenghai culture is depicted as stone age. Thematically this is reminiscent of Shadow Valley.
