==== [[Mr. Organ]] ==== | ==== [[Mr. Organ]] ==== | ||
The Imps of the [[Hilltop Mausoleum]] grew tired of the phantom's incessant practice and hid his sheet music away. | |||
Like most impish plans, this one backfired. The phantom continues to bang the keys, but sorely lacks improvisational skills. | |||
==== [[Kul Katura the Serpent Lord|Kul Katura]] ==== | ==== [[Kul Katura the Serpent Lord|Kul Katura]] ==== | ||
This formidable serpent was somehow lured into a tiny chest and trapped by men working for King Peregrin - probably, it must have been a magic chest because really, this is one huge serpent to fit in such a small box... but anyhow, the King believed he had imprisoned the evil serpent of Gallowmere, when in fact it was kindly Serpent Lord Kul Katura that he had en-boxed. | |||
Katura is probably going to have a big hug for whoever sets him free, and an ever tighter one for his enemies. | |||
==== [[The Pumpkin Witch|Pumpkin Witch]] ==== | ==== [[The Pumpkin Witch|Pumpkin Witch]] ==== | ||
Winner of the Jolliest Witch in Gallowmere Award for the fourth consecutive year! | |||
Wartilda actually runs a successful potions business and makes cool cheddar from her pumpkin-spiced profiteering. The other witches are secretly jealous. | |||
==== [[Jack of the Green]] ==== | ==== [[Jack of the Green]] ==== | ||
| Line 53: | Line 62: | ||
==== [[The Town Mayor]] ==== | ==== [[The Town Mayor]] ==== | ||
A lusty adventurer in his heyday, this once-beloved mayor stole the [[Shadow Artefact]] from Zarok's tower after the disgraced sorcerer was banished from the kingdom. | |||
When Zarok returned, so mad was he that he tore the whole town apart in his wrath, turning many of the good townsfolk into goats. After that, the mayor's approval ratings fell dramatically. His reelection now seems unlikely (although these days, it seems anything is possible). | |||
==== [[The Forest Witch|Forest Witch]] ==== | ==== [[The Forest Witch|Forest Witch]] ==== | ||
Once part of the infamous [[Cemetery Hill (MediEvil)|Cemetery Hill]] coven, Emelda was ostracized by her sisters when she refused to stop using the communal cauldron to prepare her notoriously pungent lunchtime brews. | |||
She now resides in [[the Enchanted Earth]], where no one complains. Or at least if they do, she just turns then into a toad... and seriously, do NOT lick those toads. | |||
==== [[Fairies]] ==== | ==== [[Fairies]] ==== | ||
A proud and fair race, the Fairies were rulers of the underground world, until that fateful day when the Ant Queen invaded their turf. | |||
Honestly, we don't know why the ants have them imprisoned, but for some reason, fairy magic doesn't seem to work against ants... seems odd to me, but hey - I don't make the rules. | |||
==== [[Elephant Dragons]] ==== | ==== [[Elephant Dragons]] ==== | ||
Subaquaticus Pachydermis Draconis - truly one of Nature's marvels and found nowhere on Earth, other than the grand lakes of Gallowmere! These peaceful creatures are the product of a chance encounter between an elephant and a dragon. Truly - love knows no bounds! | |||
==== Chickens ==== | ==== Chickens ==== | ||
| Line 71: | Line 90: | ||
==== [[King Peregrin]] ==== | ==== [[King Peregrin]] ==== | ||
Wise King Peregrin, they used to say! But seriously, this guy sent his entire army to battle the undead led by... you! Does that sound like someone wise? | |||
Somehow that battle was won (without you), but it didn't really help King Peregrin - he died a few days later after choking on a Brussels sprout. They say his ghost lingers still in [[the Haunted Ruins]], that he paces the halls late at night, coughing up sprout chunks. | |||
I think this story proves beyond a doubt that no one should ever eat Brussels sprouts. | |||
==== [[Vulture]] ==== | ==== [[Vulture]] ==== | ||
| Line 132: | Line 156: | ||
==== [[Hedges]] ==== | ==== [[Hedges]] ==== | ||
People seldom consider how hard it is to trim a sentient shrub - not least the fire-breathing types, who would just as soon set themselves ablaze as play understudy in your latest topiary production. | |||
No... gardeners in Gallowmere do not get enough credit! | |||
==== [[Head Bangers]] ==== | ==== [[Head Bangers]] ==== | ||
| Line 220: | Line 247: | ||
==== [[Dragon Birds|Dragon Bird]] ==== | ==== [[Dragon Birds|Dragon Bird]] ==== | ||
She's not just a set of legs - there's a whole devoted Mother Bird up there! And no one treasures here eggs more than this bird mama. | |||
They may someday hatch into beautiful baby birds. Or maybe just into beautiful bags of gold... or bags of golden babies? Who knows? | |||
==== [[Demonettes]] ==== | ==== [[Demonettes]] ==== | ||
==== [[Ant Queen|Queen Ant]] ==== | ==== [[Ant Queen|Queen Ant]] ==== | ||
Although accustomed to letting her soldiers do all the fighting, this is one tough bug lady. | |||
She's an acid-spitting queen who will fight to her last gasp to defend the brood of insect infants incubating inside her egg sac... if only there was an airlock you could flush her out of. | |||
