PUBLIC CHARACTER RECORD
What is known
Small-bodied and big-headed, this strange humanoid presents a memorable silhouette: a smooth domed head, a broad wraparound visor obscuring the eyes, a tiny composed mouth, and a narrow torso that gives way to looping hook-like tentacles hanging where the hands might be. They read as someone who prefers to process the world through filters, tools and close observation rather than blunt force, yet their stance is planted and self-possessed rather than timid.

NEARBY ON THE CURRENT SURVEY
The district does not end at this record.
These are geographic neighbours, not implied friends or allies.
Reedwater GardensVeyraA veiled one-eyed figure whose softness is offset by a poised, deliberate self-presentation: half hidden, half regal, and fully aware of the effect of her gaze.
South GlassfieldSkitterglassA bright, six-legged hazard-runner: big-eyed, low-slung, endearing at first glance and clearly built for unnerving speed and precise danger.
Windtower YardBrackleA weary-looking horned and winged being whose face feels grown from bark, bone and old weather, yet whose heavy gaze suggests patience more than menace.

PHYSICAL RECORD
A presence before an explanation
- Silhouette
- Top-heavy and iconic: a huge dome head over a compact torso, with slim arm-columns breaking into large spiral hook-tentacles and heavy rounded feet below. The shape reads clearly even at a distance.
- Scale
- Likely child-sized to small adult in height, but with exaggerated proportions: head vastly oversized, torso narrow, limbs short, feet enlarged for balance. The appendages feel lighter and more dexterous than the lower body suggests.
- Material
- Warm fleshy hide with subtle mottling across the dome and torso; visor a smoky charcoal sheen; tentacles slicker and slightly darker at their inner curls; feet calloused and pale underneath.
- Colour
- #C97B63, #8E4E3F, #E7C7B2, #5F6B6A, #2F3538
