Run, Little Günter, Run

Little Günter

Carl's summon of an invincible lederhosen-clad kid whose delayed momentum turns any strike into a devastating charge.

Story so far

Run, Little Günter, Run is a summoning spell Carl casts to call up Little Günter — a chunky, pig-nosed boy in lederhosen carrying a color-shifting lollipop and greeting everyone with 'Hi, I'm Günter!' Günter appears functionally invincible: when Pontiff wallops him full-force with a sound-magic mallet, the blow rebounds as if hitting a wall, and Pontiff is flung back. The mallet's energy is instead stored and delayed — the moment Günter reaches his target (Prison Pocket), it releases, rocketing him forward like a cannonball and flipping the twenty-foot boss onto its back. Günter shrieks 'Nein!

Nein!' as he runs, a recurring comedic weapon in Carl's kit.

Appearance

Summons a chunky, pig-nosed child in Bavarian lederhosen holding a color-changing lollipop, cheerfully oblivious to danger.

Role

A summon spell that produces a near-invulnerable child weapon amplified by incoming force.

Relationships
