Baumesel (also known as tree donkey or tree ass) is a equine-shaped creature that is closely related to Feldgeisters and other low-level nature elementals, these vaguely goblin-like faeries usually assume the forms of donkeys or asses, and are found in and around the forests and cornfields of Germany. The baumesels are also known as 'Scheunesel', which means 'barn donkey', but aside from this virtually nothing is known about their behaviour or abilities. Like other elementals, they would be expected to aggressively target those that damage their habitat.
