The Green Jungle Gremlin

Malacoda is, for all intents and purposes, just a weird little musclebound freak.

He and his baboon, Gary, live in a treetop hut deep in the jungles of Green Wizard Peninsula, foraging and hunting for food and worshipping the Many Legged Beast, Anaraxxis, a great big ancient spider who has a few goblin tribes under one of its eight hairy thumbs.

Malacoda works closely with the Eight-Eyed Priestess, carrying out tasks for Anaraxxis that require a more.. human touch (such as counting to ten and appearing in a court of law). Eight Eyed Priestess, art by feckless

Work/Life Balance

Malacoda is also an exclusive celebrity personal trainer, taking clients only through referrals. His methods have proven to be very effective, if not a bit unorthodox.

One of his current clients is Bokur of the Havens [[Warrior #8708]], for whom he has devised an exercise program thats consists of clearing three square miles of jungle brush and replacing it with a labyrinth of blackberry bushes, re-routing a river around a Very Large Rock, and befriending a jaguar.

“You’re on the Jungle Diet now, slug. Everything you’re gonna eat for the next six weeks is out there somewhere, all you gotta do is get it in yer belly without ending up in its.”

Life in the Treetops

Malacoda’s treetop hut is suspended within the canopy of the jungle on a web woven from vines. If the hut is under threat, it can be disassembled and moved elsewhere in the jungle in a matter of minutes by Mal and Gary.

Mal has also overseen the construction of a network of vine and web bridges used by the followers of Anaraxxis to sneak through the jungles, wage their tribal wars, and capture unwary travelers for sacrifices and stuff.

Though Mal feels at home anywhere in the jungles, his favorite spot is the north side of the top of Mount Jaguar, where he can gaze across the bay at the bright lights of Yellow Wizard Haven. (Malacoda’s favorite area of the jungles circled in red)

(in Runiverse Game, he stays on a homestead in the Green Grove, surrounded by carnivorous plants)

Items/Artifacts

Where eagles need 8 and tigers need 10, Malacoda needs only one - a single hunting knife, 10” of dwarven-forged cold steel with a hand-carved elkhorn handle, is the only weapon Mal ever carries. It was given to him as a gift by his father who won it in a slam dunk contest.
