Eoighorain

Eoighorain is a mage of Galthmei, able to transform from a man to a beast. He is Soft's colleague.

He is an NPC played by Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Appearance
As a mage of Galthmei, Eoighorain is able to change forms between a human and monstrous, simian creature. In his beast-like form, he has a large jaw, a wide snout, and protruding tusks. His ears are pointed. His arms are proportionally larger than the rest of his body, and his front paws have hooked claws, as well as opposable thumbs. At his largest, he can grow up to 12 feet lengthwise. He emits a constant sickly and metallic smell, likely from the blood always in his mouth.

Personality
Due to his nature, Eoighorain is intimidating and menacing to those around him, able to make others uneasy from his smell alone. He is a protector, and his methods can be brutal. However he holds a high regard for the wizards Soft and Stone, deferring to them and their orders when they are given.

Children's Adventure
Eoighorain aided Soft in his arrival to Silbry as it was under siege. By holding off attackers, he managed to help Soft and Stone with their plan to deliver Suvi to the safety of Grandmother Ren, and continued assist them and Steel in the fight afterwards.
