#lizhard

We're in the endgame. I almost have the full set of NPC's. Only the pirate remains. Today's NPC is the Witch Doctor! Jamundi is a uncommon sight. The Lizhard are very reclusive, but the Lizhard from the City of the Sun are even more so. The modern Terraria universe is very well connected. Civilizations on different planes communicate regularly, and as such the modern world tends to understand that "Gods" are simply individuals or forces of sufficient power level. The Lizhard from the City of the Sun didn't take this idea well. Their culture is heavily based around worship of a deity who raises and lowers the sun, and consider questioning the nature of godhood to be an attempt to uproot their entire social structure and way of life. As such, after first contact with the broader universe, they cut themselves off, declaring any outsiders kill-on-sight.

But the idea wouldn't go away, and the high temple, in order to reinforce public perception of the religion, sunk a lot of time and money into building a huge stone mecha that could be presented at festivals as the earthly form of the god. Normal stuff.

Jamundi the apprentice chemist was on a medicine delivery and accidentally walked into the workshop while lost. He was promptly banished.

Being uprooted from his home, life, apprenticeship, fiance, and family put poor Jamundi rather out of sorts. By the time he stowed away on the Hyperlight Alice, he had been hardened into an apathetic delinquent, who's primary concerns were now about continuing to eat and finding a quiet place to smoke.

He's integrated into the crew rather well. Captain Velacruz's policy of hiring stowaways got him a job as a security/medical officer, working alongside the equally dead inside Claire Redshift, a job that makes good use of his original medicines training. And, while he may try to avoid people, he can never turn down someone who needs someone to talk to. As a result, he tends to act as ship therapist... even if he may grumble slightly.
