Ooze the Green

Zhurnuuz Wingkin

Zhurnuuz Wingkin, known as Ooze the Green, is a green dragonborn sorcerer and acolyte of the Wingkin line, where blood, breath, and doctrine twist together into something corrosive. His power manifests through a toxic breath weapon and the patient cruelty of one who understands poison as both element and philosophy. Chaotic Evil by nature, Zhurnuuz does not rush to overwhelm when he can seep into weakness, erode trust, and let fear spread before the strike. Among the Wingkin Acolytes, he is less a blunt instrument than a living toxin: visible only after the damage has already begun.

Professor Myrex

Krildan Myrex

Krildan Myrex, known as Professor Myrex, is a bronze dragonborn transmutation specialist whose academic disgrace became the Road Warriors’ advantage. Once a Von Queef University faculty member respected for material reshaping theory, Myrex was quietly dismissed after controversial mutability experiments and apprentice disappearances. Under Dr. Malevolus Krane, that same rigor now fuels Boost enhancement, biological destabilization, and mutation-cell operations. Clinical, precise, and Neutral Evil, Myrex treats bodies like arguments waiting to be revised. The tragedy is not that he abandoned scholarship; it is that he still believes this is scholarship.
