Potential party member and/or rival just a rough sketch, I'll make a better one if they're accepted They're a monster who disguises themself as a human to try and avoid hatred They have a bladed staff, which can be used for both magic and physical attacks. Possible quotes: First encounter: "W-what do you mean? I'm a perfectly normal human being!" Other stuff: "Oh, it's you guys again. Thanks for blowing my cover earlier." "So I guess you guys are looking for this artifact, huh? (holds up some kinda macguffin) Well, you'll have to get through me first!" "...So it's come to this, I guess. Never thought (some cataclysmic plot point) would happen, but... you two (assuming the party is split) look like you might need some help down here. So... how 'bout a temporary truce?"
