character

Prepotente

Pony · the goat · the goat creature

A sapient, screaming goat-mage — the dungeon's only other true-sapient Earth animal besides Donut — who nearly killed a province boss by inducing cardiac arrest.

Story so far

Prepotente enters through the mirrored 'noodle' when Carl teleports away the province boss on the far side of station 36 — the very boss Prepotente had spent hours entrancing and lowering the blood pressure of to induce fatal cardiac arrest (a kill that would have chain-blown multiple soul crystals to open the floor). Furious, the fussy, formal goat-mage screams at random, insults Carl as a Neanderthal, and threatens to crunch Imani's bones — until his handler Miriam Dom smacks him with a crook and makes him apologize. He's delighted by Princess Donut, calling her delightful and noting they are the only two Earth creatures in the dungeon to have gained TRUE sapience (his transformation different from hers — he has human-like fingers with long black curled nails); he longs to share a brandy and laments she got the Desperado Club not Club Vanquisher.

His group commands a horse-sized hellspawn familiar. A bizarre, dangerous, weirdly courtly figure Carl resolves to steer clear of.

Appearance

A bipedal humanoid goat with human-like fingers ending in long, curled black nails; formal and haughty in manner, prone to sudden deafening screams; a transformed, sapient Earth goat.

Role

A newly-met, sapient goat-mage rival — screaming, courtly, and lethally capable — with his own small crew.

Relationships

Princess Donut — His fellow true-sapient Earth creature, whom he finds delightful and longs to share a brandy with.
Carl — Whom he blames for stealing his province-boss kill and insults as a Neanderthal.
miriam-domBk 2 — His human shepherd-handler, who smacks him and makes him behave with kisses on the head.
Imani — Whom he threatens to devour before Miriam disciplines him.
