The Creature

Oi! Bad boy!-Lyslen scolding The Thing for stealing pudding in a crowded tavern.The Creature, also called Melon, or Badboy was a weird slimy little fey creature hatched from an egg by Lyslen and Aric. It roughly resembled a flumph, with gangly tentacles. It was usually cream-coloured with small spots. It was a Fluxie.
Its egg was stolen off the isle of Ðok Vest, by the trio (including Tonrartok) who mistook it for a Jack-in-the-Frost plant's bulb.
It was fairly docile and trusting toward Lyslen (who it regarded as its mother) and Aric and Elrod.
It could change colours to express its mood - red for pain or sorrow, blue for happiness, green for hunger, purple for fear, and yellow for anger. 
The Thing was a carnivore. Aric fed it whale meat, and it also delighted in stealing any food it saw. 
It witnessed Aric leading the Fixers and the Flock to murder Lyslen, and it would remember this.
By early 1514 it had reached maturity, and continued to follow Heinrich. During the fight at Pier No3, Brynn Garta cut off three of the baby's tentacles. After The Serpent's Head took over Bracken, Badboy was already an adult, and capable of making his own decisions. He decided to bid his father Heinrich farewell, perhaps only temporarily, and journeyed to The Underdark. He became king of the Melon Kingdom. Badboy was known as King Badboy to the denizens of Guzuth Toth, and known as The Prophet to the local low Seer, Latar, and to the Tribunal of Spiders.
