Minion in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Minion
Overview:
Lawful evil (LE) creatures methodically take what they want, within the limits of a code of tradition, loyalty, or order. Devils, blue dragons, and hobgoblins are lawful evil.
MINION: Minion’s tribe lived in the sewers underneath a town/city. This tribe worked closely with the city to expand the city’s infrastructure along with the thieves guild. This Thieves guild sought to steal a valuable item but was denied the help of the Kobolds as it would put them at risk. Minion went against this and helped to steal this item. Minion stole the item along with Tezcacoatl (he also saw Tezca’s breath but couldn’t grab it), which angered his tribe as the city stopped working with them and began flushing them out. Minion was cast out and now seeks to return Tezca to his former glory, so that he can return to his tribe with a dragon.
TEZCACOATL: Tezca was essentially Smaug, living on a huge ass stash of gold, worshipped, killing adventurers, and razing a town or two. Adventurers stole his breath, ruined his wings, and defeated him. Smaug was the trapped inside of an orb as other’s harness his power. Roughly a thousand years passes by before he is found by minion.
Both Minion and Tezca slowly become one over time.
Minion grows wings (shredded), becomes obsessive over gold, says phrases, and performs actions that are unlike him.
Tezca becomes more possessive over the party, curious, and changes his mindset towards “mortals”.
