==Summary==
Meepo the Dragon-Keeper was once the lowliest of kobolds, weak even for their lowly kind. As such, he was assigned by his then-master, Yusdrayl, to tend to the dragon their tribe had captured, who went by the name of Calcryx; this essentially meant Meepo was assigned to clean the dragon's feces. However, when the dragon was captured by the goblins who also lived in the same dungeon space (dubbed the Sunless Citadel), Meepo's reputation amongst his kin plummeted even lower, and he was destitute, until a party of adventurers arrived and assisted Meepo's tribe in re-capturing the dragon. This state of affairs lasted only briefly before the adventurers ultimately slew the dragon, killing all of Meepo's tribe as a consequence: only Meepo escaped. 
Through unknown means, the plucky creature entered an alternate Prime Material plane where technology was far more advanced and magic was repressed; here he thrived, using his natural inclination to stealth to join a guerilla army with whom he served during his time here. Meepo's adventures in this world were undocumented and ended as quickly as they began, whereupon he returned home to lead his kin as a mercenary lord in the War of the Dragon Queen, donning armor of a white dragon to honor his slain pet, Calcryx. 
Meepo's valor with his kin made him legendary amongst the kobolds, and saw him discover his talents over a long and prosperous career: he became a capable sorcerer and worked to build himself in the image of the dragons, creatures he regards (as with most of his kin) as the apex of creation. Meepo is one of the most dangerous kobolds ever born, a fitting testament to the tenacity of the kobolds, to rise from meager beginnings to glorious heights.

Attack Potency: At most Wall level (Meepo is notably weaker than a standard kobold, such that he is considered a significantly lower challenge for an adventurer to overcome and is also much less durableThe Sunless Citadel, pg 12) | Small Building level+ (Meepo is significantly stronger than most sorcerers of his mastery due to his lycanthropic traits, making him comparable to casters capable of using spells like Conjure Barrage who would otherwise be superior to him in strength) | Small City level+ (Although he is weaker than most in this range, Meepo is still capable of contending with others here, which includes creatures such as legendary dragons) | At least Small City level+ (He is far stronger than he was previously; at this stage he is only marginally below creatures such as Pit Fiends or Balors)
Speed: Subsonic (Like all kobolds, Meepo is on-par with adventurers who can dodge point-blank arrows) | Hypersonic+ with High Hypersonic+ reactions (Can keep up with adventurers capable of dodging short-range lightning) | Relativistic+ (Capable of reacting to light-based attacks) with FTL+ reactions (Can contend with enemies with feats such as Great Cat's Dodge) | At least FTL (With his ring of evasion he is comparable to those capable of dodging effects like Radiant Wings) with FTL+ reactions (Noticeably faster than before) 
Lifting Strength: Peak Human (As a small creature with 8 strength, Meepo can push approximately 272 kg under good conditions) | Peak Human, Class 1 when transformed (In his Fleshraker form, he becomes a medium quadruped with 11 Strength, meaning he can push roughly 782 kg) | Peak Human (Thanks to a mantle of giant's strength, Meepo can now push over 500 kg), Class 5 when transformed (The bonuses of his mantle carry over to this form, giving him a strength of 15; this equates to a maximum push load of 1.3 metric tons) | Class 5 (In this key, Meepo has a Strength score of 19, making his maximum push load in his kobold form about 1.1 metric tons), Class 5 when transformed (His improvement to strength in this form continues alongside his normal form, granting him a new maximum push of 2.4 metric tons)
Striking Strength: At most Wall level (Meepo is considered physically weak even by kobold standards, but he is still generally able to battle low-level adventurers) | Small Building level+ (Though he is not much of a physical fighter, he still is known to wield weapons into combat and can contend with others on his own level) | Small City level+ | At least Small City level+ 
Durability: At most Wall level (Though he is stated to be weaker than a normal kobold, Meepo has tanked attacks from CalcryxTales from the Yawning Portal, pg 17, which is a wyrmling white dragon, who should be superior to basic adventurers capable of tanking burning hands) | Small Building level+ (Can tank damage from similarly powerful sources) | Small City level+ (While he still can contend with others on his level, he is noted to be considerably less durable than others on his own level) | At least Small City level+ (Far stronger than previously, although still less durable than others with a Challenge Rating of 19) 
Stamina: Possibly Superhuman, as he was the only survivor of the Sunless Citadel's purge of kobolds and has been engaged in warfare on-and-off since then; he is the veteran of countless conflicts, including some in the real world
Range: Extended melee, several meters via sling, dozens of meters with Mossberg shotgun and spells like Magic Missile, hundreds of meters with spells such as Dimension Door
Standard Equipment: Spear, sling and bullets, basic armor | Mossberg Shotgun, white dragonhide full-plate, white dragonhide shield, short sword, potions of bull's strength and cure wounds, bracers of armor, ring of protection, lesser metamagic rod of silent spell | All of those in the previous key plus a belt of giant strength, a lesser metamagic rod of Extend Spell, and a brooch of shielding | All of those in the previous key plus a ring of evasion, lesser metamagic rod of Empower Spell, lesser metamagic rod of Maximize Spell, cape of the mountebank, vest of resistance
Intelligence: Above Average, for what Meepo lacks in the physical prowess of his kin, he is altogether more clever than most Kobolds and, for that matter, most humans | Above Average | Above Average | Gifted, his time exploring has made him considerably more intelligent than the average human and on-par with average wizards
Weaknesses: Meepo is a semi-infamous coward, a fact that he carries with him until his last key, where he instead abandons fear and acts out of tact
