Horrible little Chuffy had few friends in the whelping cage, thanks largely to his
habit of stabbing any other whelps stupid enough to turn their backs on him. As
he grew older and wiser, though, Chuffy began to realize he couldn't survive all
alone, and he has since started assembling a very exclusive list of people not to
stab until he really, really needs to. To sate the stabbing urge, he stabs mud, or
sticks, or bugs, or anything else that wanders by. Or just happened to be sitting
nearby minding its own business.
Despite being a goblin, Chuffy is severely allergic to the ratlike goblin dogs the
Licktoads periodically keep as pets, leaving him covered in itchy, ugly, oozing
hives. While most humans would be horrified by such a fact, Chuffy considers
his boils to be loyal companions and convenient conversation starters. He named
his latest and largest boil “King Bubble,” and these ugly little pimple companions
have spurred a love of all potential pets in the otherwise sadistic little goblin.
Chuffy loves surprises, and prefers to sneak up on his enemies so they can enjoy
the surprise together. If he gets the chance, he also likes to light fires—lighting
fires is Chuffy’s idea of great fun, almost as enjoyable as causing big explosions.
