Hitpatlut

SKILL: 6

STAMINA: 5

INITIATIVE: 4

ARMOUR: 0

DAMAGE: Paper Edge (AS UNARMED)

A Hitpatlut appears as a floating, man-sized Möbius strip of flat newsprint covered with text and sepia photographs of eyes that nonetheless move and work like more 3D organs; take the time to read between the eyes and one can glean the latest empyrean gossip. They have voices like a mutant carnival barker wielding a megaphone: "BE NOT AFRAID!" The Hitpatlutim are celestial heralds from the Sphere of Munimentus; if one can forgive their self-important manner, they make barely tolerable friends but potentially excellent scouts and messengers. 

SPECIAL

Hitpatlutim are capable of fitting through the tiniest, paper-thin cracks between walls and under doors, and their ability to float above the ground is a form of limited flight. While they do not do a lot of damage when attacking, the resulting divine paper cuts are extremely painful; TEST YOUR LUCK (or SKILL, for enemies) or else lose your next action. 

MIEN

1: Officious 

2: Loud

3: Noisily Officious

4: Annoyed

5: Querulous

6: Demanding

Having "Officious" and "Noisily Officious" in the mein table is a nice touch! 

I was already considering sending my players to a sphere of origami creatures, but now perhaps the Sphere of Munimentus calls instead... The image of thousands of these things floating about is too cool to not run. Great creature!

Thank you! And I was definitely imagining an origami sphere for this.
