The Gelatinous Doom Troglodyte (or Gelly Doom Trog, as he has trouble with spelling all of that out in one sitting), is a distant cousin of the Jolasveinar, or Yule Lads. A massive, translucent hulk. As his tiny, purple, gnomish hat should indicate, he is a soft and sensible soul. He means to be kind, but his size and sticky, see-through skin cause most folks to run away at first sight.

Unlike his mischief-making cousins who would steal food, knock on doors and, well... mostly just steal food, Trog would get too excited and cause massive property damage. Days before Yule, Trog would HOIST doors from their hinges and CHUCK them down slopes to use as a makeshift sled. (The doors did not come back.) To make matters worse, when the other Lads would share the food they had stolen, Trog would hardly savor it, usually finishing the pilfered goods with a single, wet CHOMP.

After a single holiday season's worth of try-outs, he was rejected from his cousins' mischief-making club. The lonely monster has wandered cold, snowed-in dungeons ever since.
