Hob-Puppet

A Hob-Puppet is a creature that was digested by the Puppet's Parquet, becoming a hobgoblin in service to that mysterious place.

Biography
"More coddlecake, my lady?"

The hob-puppet may have been somebody, once: someone’s maid; a social worker; a Swimmerskin serving the Razorgrass Queen of Portland. But then she wandered down here, hearing the sound of curious music and catching a whiff of the sweet treats within (and oh how her stomach growled). Now, she only sometimes remembers who she is. Most times, she only lives to serve the Parquet and its... guests.

She’s pretty, with great big seal eyes and a faint downy white fur. And you get closer, you think she’s not real. The fur feels like something off a stuffed animal, and the flesh is waxy and without  blemish. The eyes never blink. They’re cold and hard, with rarely a bright flicker within.

She's pleasant, if a bit icy and insistent. Her smile is fake, but she wants to sell it. She don't care about thes people in the Parquet, of course, she only cares that they stay and enjoy themselves so the Parquet can continue to feed. Sometimes, though, she has flashes of memory... moments that call back to a life that wasn’t encased in strange plastic.
