The Dentist

Illustrated by Penflower Ink (Tom Fummo)

The Dentist is an NPC created and portrayed by Justin Green.

**General Spoiler Warning:** This page has been updated with information as of Ep 48 - Statistically horny for battle. Anything after that, if any, is not on this page.

## Description

The Dentist dresses in all black except for a white tooth mask that covers his whole face. There are two small holes for his eyes but otherwise his face is completely covered. He wears a cape and has a utility belt with his floss of truth on it. His giant toothpicks are stored on his back.

His whole person is kind of minty. Zelf is pretty sure he's an elf based on size and stature.

He sounds like he's trying to do a Batman voice.

## Backstory

The Dentist is a vigilante in Mealnor, terrorizing the chefs in the restaurant district who commit public food crimes. He took on his helm after Inspector Nipip went missing. His plan is to just keep killing misbehaving chefs in East Mealnor until they run out of the city. He patrols East Mealnor at night, leaping from rooftop to rooftop.

He's a huge Patty Hurts fanboy and based a lot of his personality on her.

## Current Events

While in Mealnor, Zelf, Patty, and Astra stake out the Dentist. Patty is swooped up into an ankle noose and meets him, and they agree to work together.

The Tooth Fairies make a deal with Astra to capture the Dentist for them, but Janni Squad plans to trick the Fairies.

The Dentist teams up with Patty and the squad to confront Ten-Face's gang in the Marth mausoleum. After defeating them, Patty and the Dentist hand the gang over to the Mealnor Hunters Guild and head to the train station to burn the incoming copies of Astrology Today. Afterwards, Patty says they're better off working alone, and the Dentist runs off into the night, teary-eyed.

At the Marth by Marth dinner party, it is revealed that the Dentist is actually Gentry Til. He and Patty resolve to continue being vigilante partners. As the Dentist, he assists in bringing in Paltra.

Shortly after, Gentry is captured by the Black Market Boys. Bruler steals his Dentist costume to lead the party into a trap, leaving Patty a message about where to go on the train to Nan Tahrum. When Patty enters the caboose, she sees Gentry is poisoned and strapped to a bomber jacket.

In the Dentist costume, Bruler fights Manny and Zelf on top of the train before Janni Innaj kills him. Meanwhile, Gentry is hurt by the bomb exploding on him, but Patty is able to stabilize him and use a bubblegum bag to get them safely off the train. The squad puts Gentry on the back of Diane O'Nychus as they head to Nan Tahrum, where they are able to fully heal him. Janni Innaj tries to convince Gentry to put on the crown of Lunas, but he says he'll talk to Patty first.

## Random Facts

* He's not an actual dentist.
* He doesn’t have a secret base, and right now is using the night as his base.
	+ He has a Dentist cave now, with a giant D10 in it.
* He has killed at least one person (the guy who ran Unami).
* He makes horrific puns and has a mission statement.
* He thinks Inspector Nipip is smart and would like to work with him.
* He listens to Patty's single "Struttin' in my Versacheese" every night before he suits up.
* There are several clues to his identity before he is officially revealed to be Gentry Til,
	+ Zelf believes he is an elf, the Dentist is new to Mealnor, and he knows his way around both West and East Mealnor.
* The Dentist and Patty are meant to be because dental floss is the best way to cut a block of cheese.
* It's unclear where exactly the Dentist mask is as of Ep 48. In Ep 46, Patty knocks the mask off Bruler onto the ground of the train caboose. In Ep 48, the team jokes about the tooth mask shattering via Zelf's ley line magic, but it seems unlikely that someone thought to grab the mask as they jumped off the train.
