Joey

Brother Joey

Level 80 mantaur guard who greets Carl with a battle cry and immediately embeds his claws in the ceiling.

Story so far

Joey leads the four Mantaur Guards who burst into the Club Vanquisher vestibule when Carl and Prepotente arrive. Standing to full height with both sets of arms crossed, he declares that today is the day where blood and steel meet bone, then extends his Wolverine-style claws with a loud shiiinnng — straight into the ceiling, where they stick. Only his left hand comes free; his lower arms flail helplessly as he begs his brothers for help, having been, in his words, entrapped.

Mork berates him for shinging indoors near the precious stained glass. His panic wrecks the guards' response entirely, which suits Carl better than his original plan. One of Bautista's Eclipse Pyxies then latches onto Joey's face and chews while he squeals, and blood sprays across the room.

Appearance

A towering four-armed mantaur, level 80, in furry shorts and no shirt, blue Grull worship paint splattered over him, a stripper-style bow tie around a thick neck, balding head uncovered, retractable blades in both upper hands.

Role

Comic-catastrophe guard captain whose stuck claws hand Carl the opening he needed.
