Livingtree NPCs

Odysseus the OmBudsPerson (??) from the Folly of the Fierce Firs. Says “touch grass” at some point. (source)

Moshe Greenfarb, a lizardperson media power player and obvious reference to the real-life antisemitic lizardperson conspiracy theory. Very upsetting character voice. (source) Probably this one is fake & made up.

Gunner Cannonade, important enough to possibly get fanart but her appearance is never described. (source)

The Woe, an extradimensional blob of negative energy who wants to get the Clockwork Machine and evolve into something. (source)

The Blight (source)

Cyclomus, who the PCs caught in a lie, then they all rolled a nat 1 to squish him when he polymorphed into a spider to escape. (source)

Billow & Branch, a fan favorite gay couple. (source)

Connifus (source)

Elmward and Decidia (source)

Mychael Nid, a myconid who speaks like Toad from the Super Mario franchise. His character arc starts as a goofy guy caught singing in the woods by the PCs and it ends with him sacrificing himself for the sake of the PCs fight against The Web. Some people don’t like him and feel that he does not warrant that much weeping and crying, as his arc didn’t develop properly over the course of the four episodes he appears in. (source) Dies tragically after they return the Willow Scepter to its mantle. (source) Fan theory that he’ll reappear as a fungal spirit when they venture into the Web. (source)

Matron Cedarbark, who says “there’s strength in a swarm”.

The Buggerking

Autumn’s Bounty, does blackface??? Wat??? (source)

Captain Slimes, raised Mack. (source)

Oak Bishop, kicked Nuts Balooney out of paladin order. (source)

Arbiter Maywood, a sap addict & ally to the Tree Heroes. He appears in the first arc when the three PCs are investigating the loss of a shipment of Sap and Arbiter Maywood calls them into his office to offer them help and advice. He is probably well known for his catchphrase “GET SAP”, which Travis has coopted as Isadora’s catchphrase during battle. (source) Likely says this to Maple at some point. (source) Has ‘Syrup Eyes’, which mark you as a sap addict. This is all we know about his appearance. (source)

Stumpboy, fan favorite. (source) Nuts Balooney’s overenthusiastic protégé. There is an “Angus McDonald” vibe to him, except he’s cuter and the PCs treat him kindly. Usually delivers messages to Nuts and helps him around the house. Again, Clint did well with establishing the relationship between Nuts and Stumpboy as one of a mentor and protégé, with Nuts also serving as a sort of a father figure to Stumpboy who lost one of his arms and his family in a tragic fire before the start of the campaign. (source) (original stumpboy reference)

Mat Cyclomus, another bugger character who runs the local pub “The Dendro”. They have a strange British accent that feels like Griffin wanted to go with a different accent and then settled on this one because it’s less offensive. They sell potions to the Tree Heroes and also keep them updated on the news of the town. Their allegiance seems to be towards the PCs, but there are also hints that they’re hiding something. (source) Mentions “there are much bigger folk out there.” (source)

The Acorns (source)

Allison Acorn, emotionally impactful NPC who says "Are we the nuts we start as? Or the nut we become along the way?" (source)

Ma Gurney (source) Griffin tried to go another direction from competent matronly lady, but kinda failed when he made her a parental figure to Mychael Nid. (source) Runs a cafe. (source) The PCs were never interested in her. They had a conversation in her cafe. (source) He was probably trying to build her up as part of a big mystery. (source)

Cheshire, runs Cheshire’s Tools and Kits. (source)

Barnabas Barkfellow, storekeep. (source)

Remus Rigorseed, emotionally impactful moment related to the phrase “carefully cultivated”. (source)

Elder Brackenbough (source)

Tap, some kind of deity the Oak Bishop used to follow. This never goes anywhere. (source)

The Squirrel Prince (source)

Pinc Pantera, a completely silent shopkeep. (source) Clint sings the Pink Panther theme music whenever they visit. (source)

Pontif Fallowflax, introduced as a ‘huge hog’. (source)

Grundle Willowwhite, Mack’s cousin. They had adventures fighting “Dutch” Elmblight outside of the main campaign. (source)

Grand Conservationist Foggy the Bear. (source) A lot of headcanons about how he’s related to Susan. (source)

Maple, who has prophetic drawings about the greater Salient Woods. (source)

Topsy Turvy the barn owl and fast travel mechanic. (source)

Gabby Fungus (source)

Sylo and Syban, the twins that Mychael nid is ‘reborn’ into. (source)

Galway, arguably an allusion to Odin. (source)

Ash the Yewnicorn, arguably an allusion to Zachariah. (source)

Darren, arguably an allusion to Adrammelech. (source)

Kastana, an allusion to the Epic of Gilgamesh who allegorically defeats the guardian of the cedar trees of Lebanon. (source)

Quinton Quercus, rides a skateboard, catchphrase “nuts to you, Magee?” (source)
