Cursed Host of Frikkus the Magus
Frikkus the Magus, formerly just Frikk, was a goblin slightly more curious than his tribal cousins. He picked up a pristine parchment in an abandoned mage tower and upon passing his dirty fingers on top of it, invoked the eons-old curse of Guardinus the Bloated, a demented transmogriffer. Weird magic now pulses through the gob's veins and brain, and he dreams of conquests, power... and a terrible vision of metamorphosis.
