Overview
Hooded Lantern is an elderly male tabaxi hunter who has come to Omu to claim a hunter’s death in the twilight of his life. He is one of three venerable tabaxi led to the forbidden city by the Cat Lord, a divine being who guides the bravest tabaxi to spend their final days hunting dinosaurs and other jungle beasts.
Physical Description
Hooded Lantern has graying black fur and cataracts that cloud his left eye, marking his advanced age.
Goals and Motivations
He is preparing himself for a glorious death fighting the King of Feathers, a great tyrannosaurus rex that can be encountered in area 13 of Omu. This final confrontation represents the ultimate hunter’s death he seeks.
Behavior and Interaction
- Stalks the city of Omu hunting dangerous prey
- Hunts alone and avoids contact with explorers
- Keeps clear of the city’s shrines, showing little interest in Omu’s history
- The only way characters might gain his help is by offering rare weapons or hunting gear
Companions
Hooded Lantern is part of a trio of elderly tabaxi hunters in Omu, alongside Bag of Nails (male, who has gone senile) and Copper Bell (female, with speckled ginger fur who retains her inquisitiveness and wry humor).
