 —Shlook

Shlooksnook, or Shlook, joined on October 7, 2022 as the ninth member to appear in the world. They emerged from the Nether, confused and on the run from an unknown entity. Since then, Shlook has become a protector of various other members of the server.

They are portrayed by the content creator of the same name.

## Physiology

### Appearance

Shlook is a hybrid of a piglin and a human. Their in-game appearance shows long, pink hair, red eyes, and pinkish skin. They have pink pig-like ears on the sides of their head and a large scar on their left arm. Shlook wears a brown cloak over a black shirt, as well as gray pants and a belt with a golden buckle. They usually wear gold armor as well.

### Biology

Shlook's biology follows that of other piglins and humanoid creatures, in some combination. Notably, they complain of being cold in the overworld. Others also report a smell of ash when Shlook is near, but it is unclear whether this is due to biological reasons or simply because they came from the Nether.

## Personality

Shlook is often very blunt, serious, and somewhat headstrong. They were in training to become a Piglin Brute before they fled their home in the Nether, but they never completed the training, leading to them being a little hasty about choosing their battles and sometimes getting into situations that they were too confident about when getting into them.

They like combat, though often are not too good at it. They enjoy training Lue, though they often do not know exactly how to do so, having little plan once the pair gets to the training grounds.

They also enjoy exploring and learning as much as they can about the Overworld, as evidenced by their many explorations for plants and their few exotic pets. However, they still sometimes remain confused about certain aspects of the realm, as well as occasionally about how their non-piglin companions act.

It is hard to get Shlook to open up about their past or things that trouble them, but they have remained a trustworthy figure for others to do so. Furthermore, when their trust is earned, they have become very protective over their friends, perhaps due to some remaining piglin instincts or due to the fallen brother they have visited.

## History

According to Shlook, they never quite felt they belonged in the piglins' hivemind. It is quite vague as to exactly what happened, but they said that they broke free of the hivemind but failed to convince anyone else, presumably leading to an exile of some sort. Additionally, they have returned to the Nether in secret and visited the grave of a deceased 'brother', but it is unclear who this is or when they died.

On October 7, 2022, Shlook emerged from the Nether portal in the Donghouse. On the run and seemingly nervous and frightened, they attempted to break the portal with insufficient tools before Stark assisted them, and then they ran away at random.

While running, Shlook met Lue, who attempted to teach Shlook some lessons about the Overworld. While spending time in the Community Kitchen, they developed good relations with Kayshoe, who prepared traditional Nether-based food for them, as well as many others, though they still have some animosity with a few of the other members like Stark and Jade.

Hardly feeling prepared by the little information about the Overworld they were given, though, Shlook continued to research and experiment with Overworld materials and phenomena. They built a house using cherry planks and deepslate, the closest mimic of the materials found in the Nether that they could find. Additionally, they put effort into learning about the construction and flight of planes after witnessing Stark's crash and trying to prevent those mistakes when Lue and Jade convinced Shlook to accompany them in going for joyrides.

After becoming more comfortable with planes, Shlook made frequent runs adventuring with Jade and Pink. Shlook looted many dungeons with the pair, and they hunted for all the most exotic plants of the Overworld, eventually consolidating all of them into an underground farm.

While Shlook was settling in, Kayshoe and Shlook had an argument about the stairs up to Shlook's Hut. The side facing Lue's Cottage had a staircase, despite Lue being a goat and thus better at climbing. On the other hand, the side facing Kayshoe had no staircase. Kayshoe yelled at Shlook about the lack of a staircase for her while the two were in the Community Kitchen. This led to Shlook adding a staircase on Kayshoe's side later that day. Since Lue had a heightened sense of smell, she commented to Jade that Shlook smelled of ash and fire. The pair got closer to sniff the piglin and see if Lue was correct. After they overheard their conversation, Shlook quipped back that Lue smelled like dirt. Lue agreed. This started a playful teasing relationship between the two.

When everyone went to the End and fought the Enderdragon, Shlook accompanied them, jokingly logging off with the dragon egg but logging back on soon after. They went to the Outer End with the group, got an Elytra, and got COVID from en Enderiophage, which they quickly treated with milk.

Shlook and Kayshoe's minor, silly arguments continued a few days later. Kayshoe had given Shlook gold in their mailbox several times, and Shlook reciprocated by leaving piglin bartering items in Kayshoe's. Since they thought this was a nice gesture, they were rather upset to hear Kayshoe wondering who had put "trash" in her mailbox. Kayshoe since became very careful about not hurting Shlook's feelings, even thanking them for inventory items that they were genuinely throwing out just to be safe. Shlook was not amused.

Bertha the Bounty Hunter confronted Pink about her shapeshifting powers on January 28, 2023, explaining that she intended to utilize Pink's blood, which could give the powers to others. Pink, distraught, shifted to take the form of Shlook and ran away. Eventually, Shlook saw her and helped her get rid of the bounty hunter, thinking she was simply another piglin. Once Shlook realized it was a clone of them, they attacked, until Pink eventually explained herself and recounted the stressful situation she had been in. Pink and Shlook bonded considerably over the trust involved in this secret, and the two fought The Battle of Bertha later on. Shlook took some of Pink's blood for the two to swap places so that Shlook could act as bait for Bertha instead of Pink. After the battle was won, Shlook became close with Pink, seeing her as a younger sibling figure and becoming very protective over her now that they knew her secret and that there were people who would take advantage of her.

After the stressful events of the Bounty Hunter, Shlook attended Jade and Lue's wedding. They dressed in formal attire for the event, consisting of a red-colored suit and gold accessories and accents. As everyone continued to prepare for the wedding, Shlook and Kayshoe both hit Lue's pet monkey, causing the monkey to hit and throw items at them. As it attacked Kayshoe, Shlook sarcastically stated, "I cannot wait to watch this monkey die." A few seconds later, Jade sent a flaming arrow in the direction of Kayshoe, but hit the monkey instead. The monkey then burned to death because of the flames. With the blood of Lue's pet monkey on Jade's hands, others claimed a relational strain on the couple right before their wedding.

Despite the setback, the group made its way to Lanayru to begin the wedding. Kayshoe officiated, and Pink and Shlook sat in the audience. Jade and Lue walked down the aisle to the tune of "Never Gonna Give You Up," which Shlook played on the flute. Kayshoe began to read the script to marry the couple, and then Jade shot Pink while she was shuffling around various chairs. Kayshoe, sounding slightly horrified, said that did not usually happen at the weddings she attended. Pink and Shlook continued attentively listening while the couple stared into each other's eyes. When no objections were *heard* (due to Pink's inability to talk), the pair were married.

After the pair were officially married, everyone made their way to the adjacent facility for the reception. Dinner was served and gifts were placed on the tables on the side of the venue. A dance floor made of flashing lights was the site of many flute "collaborations," and Jade and Lue's first dance occurred over a cacophony of different melodies. During the dancing, unable to wait much longer for dinner, Pink began hunting and killing most of the other members, later justifying it by saying she was "hangry." A few minutes after gifts were opened, Jade pulled Lue, Pink, and Shlook aside and told them about a mysterious gift given by Kayshoe, an ominously-named sculk catalyst. Jade asked what she should do about it, and the group advised her to confront Kayshoe with them around. Jade yelled at Kayshoe about how she wanted no part of the Sculk Empire, and Kayshoe seemed confused and scared. She eventually fled the scene with all of the others angry and completely against her.

Realizing that the Sculk Empire was only becoming more and more of a threat, Lue, Jade, Pink, and Shlook built the Armor Room. In this secret room, they discussed what should be done about Kayshoe. Pink volunteered to be a spy and find out more about the empire. They also created the safe phrase, "I'm kinda hungry," for if Pink ran into any trouble during this. A creeper exploded, alerting Shlook that someone may have been eavesdropping, so they were careful with their next words and with anything else said in the Armor Room, as its location may have been compromised.

One week later, Shlook helped to distract Kayshoe while Pink spied on her and went through her house. Later, Pink talked to Kayshoe, and Shlook eavesdropped with Lue. The three of them found out that the Sculk Empire may not have been a voluntary effort and that the Warden did not treat Kayshoe very well.

In August of 2023, Lue discovered a lot of sculk covering parts of Lanayru and was deeply saddened and angered. She confronted Kayshoe along with Pink, and Kayshoe sounded as if she had two voices, as if the Warden was speaking with her. Shlook arrived to the scene and also stood against Kayshoe , and eventually Kayshoe left. Shlook and Pink helped Lue clean the sculk from the area where Lue and Jade's wedding was, and then the trio met in the armor room to discuss their next moves.

Lue and Shlook came to the conclusion that Lue was not experienced enough to defend her village, so Shlook began to train Lue at the training grounds they had been constructing due to never having finished their training to become a piglin brute. Lue and Pink dueled a few times at the training grounds with Shlook overseeing them. Eventually, Lue and Shlook trained one-on-one since Pink was clearly more experienced.

After finishing up training, Lue and Shlook asked Pink where the Warden had been when she met him, so that they could scout out the area. Pink led the pair down a twisting, turning path in a cave, seemingly not even knowing where she was going, humming cheerfully the whole way. Shlook was suspicious of this odd behavior and decided to quit the hunt and take Lue home.

After Shlook arrived back at their house, Kayshoe ran up to them in a frenzy. She explained how Pink had asked to join the Sculk Empire and tried to express the same points she had written in her apology letter - that the Warden was taking over her body and she was not acting voluntarily in the name of the Sculk Empire. Shlook was surprised by this interaction but agreed that Pink was suddenly acting very strangely. With the threat of the Sculk Empire spreading beyond Kayshoe in mind, Shlook elected to sleep on it and went to bed after Kayshoe left.

The following week, Shlook was in great conflict regarding what Kayshoe said to them about Pink asking to join the Sculk Empire. They were unsure whether to trust Kayshoe, but also knew that Pink was acting incredibly strangely the last time they interacted. Shlook was distraught as Pink was their friend, but they elected not to trust Pink too much due to her strange behavior. Due to this distrust, Shlook revealed that they had been working on a secret room filled with backup armor, weapons, and supplies. Lue approached Shlook toward the end of their dilemma and asked if the pair could train again. Shlook agreed, stating that that would be for the best. While they were training, Stark came by to see the training grounds. Lue and Stark competed in punching the dummies, archery, and dueling head-to-head with leather armor and wooden swords. Stark won every single one of the duels, including ones where he was wearing no armor and Lue was.

Shlook was unhappy with this, as Lue had made very little progress, but Pink soon interrupted the training session, appearing to have some pieces of sculk showing on her body. Shlook asked what the spots they saw were, but Pink avoided all questions. The four of them were interrupted by a "ghost" (which later turned out to be an invisible Kayshoe) punching them, which they named "Mario." Pink suggested that they should visit a location she knew to rid themselves of the ghost by purification rituals. She called this location "The Sacred Garden." The one catch, however, was that no armor, gear, or weapons were allowed inside of it.

Already incredibly suspicious, Shlook pulled Lue aside to talk about Pink. Lue refused to believe that Pink would join the Sculk Empire despite Shlook's pleading. Lue was incredibly frustrated with Shlook's suspicion and continued to trust her sister wholeheartedly. She failed to convince Shlook, however, who quickly returned home and dropped their backpack off there instead. They followed the group to the Sacred Garden carrying only their armor and weapons, which they were stripped of at the entrance. After everyone entered the circle, they began chanting "Mario, Mario, go away, don't come back another day" to get rid of the ghost. After a while of this, Lue, Shlook, and Stark sat on one of the benches in the garden. Kayshoe then revealed herself by blocking the entrance to the garden, and Pink shot all three of them, taking them out almost instantly due to their lack of gear. It was clear that the garden was rigged with sculk catalysts, as the group's deaths caused an enormous spreading of sculk throughout the garden and its surrounding area.

As the trio bled out, Pink cackled, and Kayshoe gave a speech about the spread of the sculk and the imminent rise of the Sculk Empire. When Shlook returned to the Sacred Garden afterward, Kayshoe and Pink had stolen all of the gear from the chests in front of the garden, and the pair left without a trace.
