THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Quint

First seen: Book 2, Chapter 15

Level-75 non-combatant NPC, the Desperado Club's on-call pharmacist: a sharp-toothed, beady-eyed opossum head over a whirling, cyclone-like lower body, the classic build of a Half-Djinn. A former crawler himself and an old friend of Mordecai's from his early days on this world, sourced through a merchant-style inventory of potions, drugs, and pharmaceutical starter kits.

Non-Combatant NPC

Level

75B2C15

Physical

Form:

A Half-Djinn, per his own card: sharp-toothed, beady-eyed opossum head and torso over a whirling-dervish lower body, a small cyclone that never stops turning. Speaks in a deep, growly voice, like a British street kid trying too hard to sound like BatmanB2C15

Race Lore:

Half-Djinns are common on the Hunting Grounds and other forested levels, per his own card. Theorized origin: someone with control of a Djinn's lamp once used a wish to swear at the genie ("Fuck this forest," or similar), and the enslaved genie took it as a challenge, seeding thousands of half-Djinn, half-forest hybrids. Only a few are intelligent or saneB2C15

Location

“You two don’t bother trying to make a deal on the tenth floor, you hear me? If I could do it again, I’d push my way through to floor eleven.”
