Count Dreadsprawl

Lore

Count Dreadsprawl is not asleep. He is lying so flat across a wooden stool that this distinction requires a specialist.

His brother, Baron Dreadtail, makes announcements from Briarvault. Dreadsprawl listens without moving. He knows the gate, the window, and the exact patch of sun that will reach his tail in eleven minutes. Patience is easier when it comes with decent seating.

Then something threatens his brother, and the apparent cushion becomes a squirrel at remarkable speed. Miso has learned to watch the paws. Mochi still finds the transformation rude. A creature ought to give some warning before ceasing to be furniture.

Afterward, he returns to his stool. He is loyal to a difficult brother, which is work even when it resembles a nap. Leaves turn overhead. The planet carries him through space without requesting any visible effort. Dreadsprawl approves of at least one part of the arrangement.
