Let me just casually drop a new character for this blog because I have no self control.

This is Hector, an old tickle monster past his prime. Guy used to be so fun and full of whimsey, until he was severely outclassed by other creatures of his kind. Now he's a grumpy old jerk who can barely poke a giggle out of anyone. These days the tables have turned, as Hector often finds himself becoming the victim. Usually at the hands of other tickle monsters who see him as a practise dummy.

More about Hector:

Adult. No exact age, but the general assumption is that he's old.

Around 5'10'' in height.

Was a clownish jokester in his youth. Now he barely musters the odd dad joke.

Is a mean ler. Will usually just focus on death spots while making light personal jabs at the victim.

Insanely ticklish. He does not appreciate the irony of this.

Often ends up being the lee more than the ler.

His laughter is loud and often followed by a lot of wheezing.

Yells obscenities whenever tickled.

Pretty much ticklish everywhere. However, his back, stomach, knees and feet are major weak spots.

His red belly button is a super death spot!

Can be a thrasher when tickled. Be ready to secure him in place.

He feels that slow, teasing tickles are the worst.

Too stubborn to ever beg for mercy. He'd rather die than do such a thing.

One way to tell if Hector is having fun is when his tail wags (very rare).

Lost his shoes in a fight against another tickle monster years ago. He's too proud (and likely foolish) to get new ones.

Despises other tickle monsters unless he's able to overpower them.

Tickletober 2: Revenge/Payback

Well no thanks to the many roadblocks at Percy's work, he ended up being late for something important. This pretty much results in him "volunteering" as a test subject as payback. At least it is only for an hour... this time.

You'll meet face behind the contraptions soon enough. I have a feeling some people might like them.

Tickletober 5: One finger

On top of the many other things he has to do at his job, Percy is often "volunteered" as a test subject. One of the main scientists that studies human sensitivity and reactions has taken a liking to him.

This is the (sort of) first appearance of Leopold. I've hinted at him showing up before, so I reckon now is the time. I'm still figuring out his design though, hence why he's facing away in this doodle.

Tickletober 9: Tentacles

Percy fell into yet another trap. Might take a while for him to wriggle out of this one.

Tickletober 3: Interrogation

For one reason or another, Percy found himself tied up and being forced to spill important information. Unfortunately for him and his captor, they got the wrong guy.

Sorry this one is a mess. I know I'm behind (health reasons), but I am pushing to get most of these done, even if I gotta simplify a few prompts.
