Miriam Dom

the vampire shepherd

The top-ten Shepherd crawler, a former vegan, cursed into becoming a vampire as a cruel joke by the showrunners.

Story so far

Miriam Dom, the human Shepherd and #7 crawler partnered with the goat-mage Prepotente, suffers a cruel twist this floor. While she was filming the Dungeon Sidekicks show (doing karaoke with Katia Grim), Prepotente had a panic attack, went berserk, and ran off; returning, Miriam went searching for him and was attacked and cursed — transformed into a vampire. The joke's cruelty is pointed: she was a vegan before the crawl, and the showrunners found it hilarious to make the gentle shepherd into a blood-drinker.

Her party is nearly done with their bubble regardless.

Appearance

Role

Relationships
