The Wise Old Sloth
An ancient forest sage whose wisdom is deep, mysterious, and frequently interrupted by naps.
The Wise Old Sloth is an ancient and respected figure within the forest, often sought out for guidance when strange or magical problems arise. Though clearly possessing great wisdom, his advice is typically vague, cryptic, and delivered moments before he falls asleep again.
Despite his frustrating tendency to nap at inopportune moments, the Wise Old Sloth’s words often prove to be correct — even if their meaning only becomes clear much later.
Appearance
The Wise Old Sloth is a light purple sloth with a grey face and tummy. He has a red tongue and often has his eyes closed!
Personality
Calm, enigmatic, and extremely sleepy. The Wise Old Sloth speaks slowly and thoughtfully, offering mystical-sounding advice that can be difficult to interpret. He is unbothered by urgency and seems perfectly content to drift off mid-conversation.
Role
The Wise Old Sloth serves as a source of ancient wisdom within the forest, occasionally pointing characters in the right direction — whether they realise it at the time or not.
