"Me hungry for knowledge. So Dogear eats lots of books!"
-Dogear

Dogear is a charlatan Horc who impersonates book worms and is one of the Hero's first challenges.

History[]

Hailing from New Horkia,[1] Dogear's brutal deeds (either against mankind or book kind) earned him the moniker of "Spine Bender", nevertheless, unlike most of his kin, Dogear hungered for above all, knowledge. He wanted to hoard knoledge and become smart through books, thing of no value in Horc society. Despite that, Dogear could not let go of his savage nature.

Impersonation[]

One day he came upon Book Wyrms Bookstore somewhere in Greenguard, close to the town of Battleon. The strong Horc seeing an oppotunity to get smarter, easily dominated Loremaster Maya, tied her with ropes and held as captive in a bush while he made himself to be the new owner. With new clothing in the fashion of a librarian, Dogear managed to fool people for some time.

Instead of caring for books, making sure they were in good condition to be purchased, Dogear ate them, thinking he would that way absorb their knowledge and fiber,[2] and would refuse to sell or give them unless favors were done first.

One day the Hero came upon Book Wyrms and after doing a few favors for the "owner" saw through the masquerade, they spotted Maya in ropes behind the bushes.[3] And with his plan ruined, Dogear ran inside the bookstore with a Book of Lore in hands, ready to bash it against any do-gooder's head, and that he tried when the Hero came for him, but ultimately failed. After the fight, the Horc was expelled and the Book of Lore delivered back to the Loremaster who in turn gave it to the Hero.

Teaching?[]

Years after his beatdown at the Hero's hands, Dogear would return to Book Wyrms, having apparently become a teacher (although he may be impersonating again). Loremaster Maya once again asks the Hero to fight him, this time offering extra credit lessons.[4]

Trivia[]

  • Dogear thinks book and slime go well together, like peanut butter and jelly fish.
  • He hails from New Horkia, a place yet to be seen, likely a parody of New York.
  • His moniker, "Spine Bender" seems to be to have double meaning, linking either his nature as a Horc, most of whom are hostile in the game and general media, and to his lack of care for books, damaging their spines.
