PUBLIC CHARACTER RECORD
What is known
Nubb is a low, compact creature with huge wet-looking eyes, layered brow and cheek folds, a narrow central muzzle ridge, and oversized forepaws set like they are bracing against the world. In ordinary life, Nubb works as a miner, sitting near floor level where dropped gems, rare metal and small items collect, then staring people into admitting what is actually theirs. It is near the mines because crowded movement creates a constant need for someone patient, memorable and hard to ignore at ankle height.

PHYSICAL RECORD
A presence before an explanation
- Silhouette
- Front-heavy and compact: a broad-eyed head flowing straight into a squat, stacked body, with the largest shapes concentrated in the face and forepaws.
- Scale
- Reads as small to medium-sized in world terms, probably knee-high on a human if fully extended. The eyes are disproportionately large, the muzzle compressed, the torso dense, and the paws oversized relative to the limbs.
- Material
- Warm dry hide with sun-flushed brow ridges and cheeks, glossy eyes set against dusty skin, darker callused paws, and crisp keratin-dark mouth points.
- Colour
- #F0DFC2, #D6B07B, #A66E43, #5B392A, #2A1B16
