Iopinax the Younger

Under a coat of curly fur, dappled skin dents -- dodecagons -- catch the filtered brightness of the wide world and thrash it back against itself twelve times, and then breathe out a soft glow. It lights the beards of the three thin necks, each craning a head to inspect the others and acting as a lever for its set of hooking horns. The god-goat is mute and severe.

Perfect

Iopinax the Younger, descendant of Athenreach's legendary three-headed goat, has travelled across the Sunderlies and Moghra'yi. Now, he may have found a companion to venture Qud with. He was first released as part of the Patreon and then included in Pets of Harvest Dawn.

Despite Iopinax being depicted and described as having three heads, each with a pair of horns, these features are not represented mechanically. Instead, he bears one head of curved horns as both a short blade and a shield, and a \rock-scarred hoof on each forefoot which utilize his Multiweapon Fighting and Charging Strike (Cudgel) skills. Iopinax is also a light source with a radius of 3.

With the same natural ♦AV as a galgal, slightly higher resistances than Saad Amus, the Sky-Bear, and the inherent trait of refracting all light-based attacks, Iopinax the Younger may appear to have the defensive profile of a late-game creature. However, his starting attributes are typical of a Level 4 creature; specifically, his Toughness and Willpower give him circumstantial yet significant weaknesses to explosions and mental damage.

Recall Story

Iopinax the Younger

Excerpt from Across Moghra'yi, Vol. II: Athenreach by the Baccata Yewtarch

The Eustace-Suttan monastery at Athenreach is one of the largest communities of disciples of the Eustace-Sutta outside of the Hanging Hills. It was founded in 114PP by the pilgrim-monk Umay, who blessed the location as sacred because it lay along the path of the prophet Uuchal's pilgrimage toward Iber.

The monastery houses two hallowed artifacts of the Eustace-Sutta discipline: the Scrolls of One Priam, discovered and transcribed by the monastery's erstwhile abbot Flavian the Learned, and the presumptive hide of Iopinax, the great three-headed mountain goat on which Uuchal's is said to have ridden to the waterfall at Iber and whose hide was so tough that it was said to later protect Uuchal from starfire along the Black Stair after the goat's death.


*scribbled in the margin* ..mumbles of an Iopinax sighting on the Bowl of Iris. Perhaps a descendant of the famed goat?? Damn those Inscrutable Mouths!
