Pebis

A demon that the party encounters during the episode Crossroads. He can change his size and form, but primarily appears as a fetal or newborn bird inside a giant, antlered eggshell. Pebis is petty and childish by nature, but can warp reality around him.

The party flees from the Witch Hunters, finding Pebis in a forest just off the road. He appears before them, knowing their names and suggesting he was sent by Lexicon Matters to stop them from changing his school back into Polaris University. Pebis bristles at the party's attempts to trick him and stubbornly insists that no one orders him around, despite appearing at Lexicon’s request. He shows off his power by altering their bodies at will before swapping their minds. He vanishes from sight but continues to appear in smaller forms to harass and taunt them until returning at normal size once Cordelia is able to swap their bodies back by accessing Albee's body's memory of nirvana. He seems genuinely impressed with the party and acts more accommodating despite continuing to toy with Stirfry, placing an Unsolved Mysteries vocal filter on him and forcing him to admit to the group that he wouldn't hesitate to kill them "if they got in the way" before finally agreeing to return him to his original size and voice. Pebis offers the group a single boon but warns them to watch their wording because he's "a motherfucker" and squabbles with Cordelia on demonic boon rates before being pulled away by a far-off Virginia performing an unknown ritual. In the last moments before he disappears Bellow wishes for the Witch Hunters "to not know we exist." Pebis cackles, makes reference to Virginia no longer being a Witch Hunter and tells Cordelia to talk to Cheddar before finally disappearing.

It is later revealed that Pebis chose to interpret the "we" in Bellow's wish as "hot people" rather than "the Ruleshaven Six" and caused the Witch Hunters to suffer from mass amnesia about all 8s, 9s, and 10s in the world (although it is left unclear if the standard is Pebis's taste or some sort of objective natural order.) The sudden influx of unbelievably hot people causes widespread chaos and disarray among the Witch Hunters who are left bewildered and uncontrollably horny, slowing them down and temporarily throwing them off of the party's trail.

## Powers and Abilities

The full extent of Pebis' powers are unclear, but they seem to involve reality warping. He can alter the minds and bodies of those around him seemingly at will. He combines the bodies of Cordelia and Bellow, shrinks Stirfry, swaps the party's minds and bodies, and teleports around their attacks all while laughing like a young child playing a game. When using his boon, Pebis appears capable of altering most of the world by wiping hot people from the minds of all current Witch Hunters, even the hot ones who forget their very identities.

## Trivia

* Pebis is not only immune to infernal magic but is possibly healed by it
* Cheddar recognizes and quickly cowers at the sight of Pebis. Cordelia Junior, however, can flick him away with ease, explaining it as a "rock, paper scissors" situation.
* Pebis is easily angered by being told what to do. He interferes with the party on Lexicon Matters' behalf, but provides cryptic help to the group and undercuts Lexicon's interests out of a deep, petulant resentment in having been forced to do anything.
* After Pebis' bodyswap is undone, the party members still maintain some aspect of the body they lived in. Albee is able to speak bird, Bellow gains access to Stirfry's mimicry, Stirfry can remove his body parts like Frederick, Frederick gains some of the demonic powers that were residing in Cordelia (as well as her love of coffee), and Cordelia can wield Albee's Fist of Unbroken Air.
