== History ==
=== Xotal's Imprisonment ===
At some point, the evil wizard Xotal was imprisoned in what has come to be known as Xotal's prison, unable to escape until a specific magical ritual is met.
=== Harkoth's Legacy ===
Xotal was with the other would-be Hunters in Theo's bar in Old Mirefield, eagerly eyeing Theo's box of forbidden goodies. He asked what was in the box, repeatedly being denied information by Theo, until the former's puppy eyes force Theo to give in. After learning that the Sanguine Slinger and Slasher use blood for their powers, Xotal asked Theo numerous questions about what blood was, what veins were, etc., and other questions he should know the answers to until Theo found an excuse to move on. Xotal, distracted by something or other, later complains about his hunger and asks Theo for food, being given cheese by Theo due to the latter knowing about Xotal's love of cheeses. He refuses Theo's offer for ale or crackers, only opting for the cheese. When Kohtalo asked if Xotal would share, Xotal harshly refused, eating the remainder of the cheese in front of him.
Later on, when Kohtalo asks if the party are virgins, Xotal is horrified by his lack of understanding of the contents of the question. As the Hunters are planning to steal the Baroness' amulet, Xotal eagerly wants to go in, but is shut down by Venzorwyn due to Xotal's childlike impulsiveness, saddening Xotal. On the way to the manor, Xotal eagerly climbs on Venzorwyn's back.
Allegedly, as Venzorwyn was keeping an eye on Xotal during the raid of the manor, he saw a bird, wanting to pursue it on the roof before being stopped by Venzorwyn grabbing him. The verity of this statement is unknown.
After Faust signaled for Venzorwyn and Xotal to enter, the latter used the former as a battering ram to ensure safe passage, with Xotal using the momentum to launch himself at the face of one of the Baroness' guardsmen. He is eventually pulled off of his face, prompting Xotal to retaliate with his iconic shit breath. After the Hunters claimed the amulet, Venzorwyn needed to call Xotal like a dog in order for him to return for retrieval.
Later on, when the Constable arrived at Theo's door, Xotal was the dedicated distraction, greeting him at the door and allowing Venzorwyn and Kohtalo to ready their positions. Unfortunately, Xotal did not do much of note during the battle with the Constable and his men. After Theo told the Hunters what they will have to do, Xotal ws eager about the idea of bunking with his friends, saying that they can share stories, have fun and do makeup, before his wonder was stifled by Venzorwyn asking what happened in the manor. Kohtalo and Faust try to explain their side, before Xotal hijacks the conversation with the story of his aforementioned bird encounter.
When Kohtalo had an insanity episode, talking with the voices in his head, Xotal whispered to Venzorwyn that he thought Kohtalo was crazy. This prompted Venzorwyn to scold him, telling him it is not nice to point out when someone has mental faculty issues.
The next morning, after crashing deeper into the Isles, Xotal eagerly follows the humming he hears, happening upon Netilla's shack after Venzorwyn was unable to restrain him. Xotal scrambled to Netilla like a lost puppy, prompting her to say hello to him as he tells her she smells nice. When Xotal and Kohtalo were tasked with hunting for Asporion mushrooms, Xotal was hesitant to go into Netilla's house, even after the nonsensical claim that she might be a "pedophilist". Due to Kohtalo's inexperience with identifying fungi, he left Xotal to do the dirty work, unknowingly having the best person for the job, as he instantly finds the proper mushrooms. Returning back to Netilla's shack, Xotal soon asked what the potion did, learning about the strength potion she was brewing.
Moving with the other Hunters to Elmwood, Xotal went to an antique store, and with the help of Billy, he was able to pick out a very nice straw hat he never wore again. When the Red-Skull Raiders arrived, Xotal initially said hi to Trokk in his normal eager fashion, soon having his eager happy mood turn to sheer fury after watching Trokk steal Kohtalo's sandwich. He retaliated with a swing from his big stick, missing horribly and smashing a booth. After this, the shock of it made Trokk drop his sandwich, prompting Xotal to blow a raspberry at Trokk, being called a cunt in response. After this, Xotal repeatedly weaponized his shit breath against the gnolls, eventually being thrown atop one of the market stands and finding himself in possession of yurkey. After suffering enough damage from the gnolls, Xotal eventually grew a deep crack within him that soon seeped black goo, giving him access to one of Xotal's many spells, Shatter. He later goes into "full feral rabbit mode", running at his attackers on all fours and blasting them with a well-placed Eldritch Blast. Later on, Netilla saved Xotal from being attacked by using a fire potion. Later on, Netilla picked up Xotal and carried him to a new, safer location, wherein he would remain and aid his allies in winning the battle and scaring the Raiders off. 
At the inn, Xotal asked Faust why the Raiders did what they did and why they wanted to eat the Hunters, to which Faust gave him an important ethics lesson on caring about the feelings of others and feeling remorse for one's actions. During the quest to hunt the Fishmonger's problem fish, Xotal tried to jump in the water after it, only to remember that he cannot swim, having to be saved by Kohtalo. Xotal later used a comically large boulder to smash the fish's brains in, killing it immediately. He tried to eat part of the raw fish, being stopped by Kohtalo, who claimed it was "his fish", despite Xotal doing the killing. When Kohtalo handed Faust some fish to eat, Faust instead gave it to Xotal, due to his lack of a need to eat, and watched in horror as Xotal carnally ate the fish in a graphic display, penetrating the skull of one with his teeth and watching the brain matter spill out. 
At the Ashen Hand's western outpost, Xotal was able to make his way past the security due to pestering the guards enough and performing fire tricks for them.
