Lore
Deep in the rocky hill behind Bunborough known as The Rotten Egg, nestled among discarded gears and half-melted candy molds, lives a grouchy, soot-stained goblin named Eggrotter. He wasn’t always this bitter. In fact, long ago, he was once Bunborough’s brightest little inventor—an honorary bunny in the Festival of Fluff, the first goblin ever invited to decorate eggs with magic.
But the townsfolk, while cheerful, never truly understood him. His inventions were too strange, his contraptions too noisy. And one year, when his Self-Sorting Egg Painter exploded in front of the mayor’s float (coating the crowd in glitter yolk), he was politely asked to “sit this one out.” And the next one. And the next…
Each year, as the music of springtime laughter floated across the valley, Eggrotter sat alone in his cave, tightening screws and swallowing his sadness. No one visited. No one asked how he was doing. Even his letters to the mayor—complete with diagrams and chocolate-blueprint sketches—went unanswered.
Over time, the loneliness turned to anger, and the anger turned to invention.
Eggrotter is not evil, just extremely underappreciated and lonely.
He can be convinced to stop if shown genuine kindness, respect, or if a player gives him a handmade Easter card.
He grumbles a lot: “Oh sure, go play with yer pastel parades while I work my sprockets off…”
