Gorbli

A sized-down, photorealistic image of Gorbli

**Gorbli** was the leader of a ravenous pack of giant frogs that served as the first antagonist that the Raw Doggers battled together. He and his friends were known for their interesting preparation ritual of food. He was particularly fond of domestic pets like cats, dogs, and birds for his meals.

## **Biography**

### *Yummy Food*

Gorbli lived a life of relative ease before his days of hunting prey near civilization. Originally from the Yorkash Swamp, he decided to move to a more populated area in order hunt more prey. He brought a pack of other frogs with him as a way of herd protection and also to possibly continue his bloodline once he felt like it. In a small village southwest of Nariojorn, Gorbli abducted a Golden Retriever which belonged to an important elder, causing lots of trouble for him down the line.

### *Predators?!?*

While trying to prepare the Golden Retriever as a meal, four hostile beings ambushed him and his buddies. Self-preservation kicked in and he ran from his herd while the rest of the frogs attempted to fight off the attackers. Eventually, the attackers caught up to him and he was forced to fight. While he didn't go down easily, the dark changeling struck a killing blow on Gorbli, ending his spree of petnapping.

## **Description**

### *Appearance*

Gorbli had the appearance of a blue dart frog, which differed from the colors of his friends. While they were mostly a solid green or brown color, something had happened to Gorbli to alter his genes and cause a mutagen to appear, creating a mix of black and blue on his skin. Due to his giant stature, he was about as large as an adult horse. Even with his large appetite that he had to maintain, one could tell just by glancing at Gorbli that he ate very well.

### *Personality*

This frog never really had much of a discernable personality. Gorbli acted solely on survival instincts. He ate when he felt hungry. He drank when he felt thirsty. He would push around his friends when he felt like being an asshole. There wasn't a nuanced cell in Gorbli's entire body. However, when faced with hostility, he would run as far as he could before resorting to all out combat.

Though his behavior was animalistic, his eating rituals showed some signs of intelligence. When Gorbli captured prey, his pack would injure it so that it couldn't get away and then he would keep it for two days before eating it. No one knows why he would do this, but it helped a certain party rescue the village elder's dog before it was too late.

## **Relationships**

### *His Hunting Pack*

Gorbli really didn't feel anything towards his other giant frog fellows. He basically used them as tools for strength in numbers and abandoned them when they came under attack by the Raw Doggers. When the hunters came to kill him after all of his friends had been slain, there was no sign of emotion that Gorbli mourned his pack.

### *The Raw Doggers*

These up-and-coming adventurers terrified Gorbli. He saw how synergized they were. How tactical their moves were compared to his pack's erratic habits. Although there was an attempt to escape from them made by the giant frog, it was inevitable he wasn't surviving the encounter. In his final moments on the Material Plane of Alymere, he was heard croaking in fear.

## **Trivia**

* The name "Gorbli" roughly translates to "pest" in Abyssal. The village elder who requested the help of the Raw Doggers actually gave Gorbli his signature name.
	+ This is because giant frogs are incapable of naming themselves.
