THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Widget

First seen: Book 3, Chapter 17

A Grease Gremlin, level 19, Iron Tangle Steam Engine Train Technician, goblin-shaped but small enough to match Zev, covered in black bristly hair and dragging a wrench three times his own length off a toolbelt. Rappels down a chain-basket from his watchtower to the stalled Nightmare Express at Station E, mid-ghoul-outbreak, and offers to work the yard's turntable to get the crawlers out. Talks in a thick, barely parseable dialect. Killed by a reanimated ghoul mid-goodbye, ripped apart in less than a second.
