Shlook's hut was built and is inhabited by Shlook, following their arrival to the Overworld. It is located atop the hill outside of Lanayru.

Shlook uses the hut as a main base of operations, sleeping quarters, living area, and storage space. Most of their things are either kept within the hut's walls or on their person.

The hut resembles a structure that could be found in the Nether, helping Shlook feel less homesick.

## Description

The structure was originally built using cherry wood and deepslate, which somewhat closely resemble crimson wood and blackstone, two materials that would be very familiar to piglins. However, after a while of living in the Overworld, Shlook replaced the cherry wood portions with true crimson wood, presumably having gotten over some sort of fear of returning to the Nether for the wood. Candle lanterns light each side of the hut's exterior.

The hut consists of a ground floor and a basement storage area, surrounded by a fence and two staircases up the hill. Some farms and housing for Shlook's animals lay outside of the yard's border.

### Exterior

Shlook's hut is a small, red building. It has three doors at the front and is in a vaguely circular shape. The edge of each side is lines with crimson logs, while the rest is made of planks or stripped crimson logs. The roof is made of slabs and resembles a short dome structure. Flower boxes line two of the sides, and black lanterns adorn each of the four sides.

### Ground Floor

The ground floor is the main living area of the home. Its walls are made of crimson wood, and its floor is made of deepslate.

It consists of crafting tables, furnaces, a jukebox, an anvil, a globe, a stonecutter, and a loom. There is also limited storage found in some cabinets and an enderchest. A chest full of various gold items is found on this floor as well, along with a set of golden armor and a golden bell.

The room is also used for cooking. There is a cutting board atop the crafting table, used for chopping food. In the middle of the room is a cooking pot atop a campfire. Its smoke escapes the house through a vent in the roof.

On the back wall, Shlook's bed can be found, as well as the head of a hoglin that Shlook apparently killed, an Ominous Banner, and various possessions obtained from Bertha the Bounty Hunter's grave. Shlook's cat, Oliver, usually sits on their bed.

### Basement

The basement serves mainly as a storage area. Its walls are made of cobblestone, and its floor is made of stone. It is accessed via a ladder on the back wall of the ground floor.

Many chests line the two side walls. Spare backpacks line the wall containing the ladder.

On the back wall are several brewing stands and an enchanting room built into the wall. An enchanting table, grindstone, water cauldron, and spare crafting table lie in this area. Spare books are scattered across the bookshelves.

### Yard

Shlook's hut is surrounded by a cherry wood fence with three gates on the north, east, and west sides of the house. The north and west gates have mailboxes next to them and open to staircases that go down the hill, while the east gate opens to a flat area adjacent to the yard. Each gate is surrounded by a briefly taller section of fence.

Next to Shlook's front door, there are several mob heads on pikes. These mob heads belong to a creeper, a skeleton, a zombie, a wither skeleton, and the enderdragon. Dried blood surrounds some of the pikes.

A broken up deepslate path connects the front door to the north gate and the path outside of it, which connects to Lanayru's entrance path.

A few crimson trees are in the yard, as well as patches of sweet berries and sugarcane. At one point, burning blossoms were planed along the sides of the home, but they are currently missing.

### Stables

Just outside the east gate of Shlook's yard lies a stable with several large sections. The stable is made of blackstone with a cherry wood roof. The structure houses Shlook's larger animals, such as elephants or tusklins.

Inside each section is one animal and a small area for them to eat and drink. Each has a fence with a properly-sized gate to occasionally let them out.

### Farms

Shlook has a large area of farmland, though most of it is not usually visible. Small farms for wheat, rice, cows, eggs, and cocoa beans are near the stable. However, just underneath those farms is a much larger farm that contains every crop, both ground and tree, added by the Croptopia mod. Additionally, there is a small sheep farm, dye farm, and crimson/warped item farm. Next to those farms is a small room containing an underground pond with frogs and Perry the platypus.

## History

Shlook built and moved into the home several days after their arrival through Stark's Nether portal. Several weeks later, most of its cherry wood was replaced with crimson wood.

During the Battle of Bertha in January of 2023, Shlook's house was used as a hideout for them and Pink to discuss Pink's shiftling origin.

On August 13, 2023, following the rise of the Sculk Empire, the hut was targeted as one of several locations where Kayshoe spread a patch of sculk, but Shlook cleaned the mess shortly after.

## Trivia

* The house was originally constructed of cherry wood and deepslate since they resembled crimson wood and blackstone, making Shlook feel more at home.
* Though most of the cherry wood was replaced with crimson wood, cherry doors, trapdoors and fences have remained a prominent part of the hut and the yard. The deepslate also still remains.
