Batty

Batty is a strange child adrtift in a stranger world. Batty is unique, an oddity amongst other oddities. In the custody of the The Pit Fighters Batty is kept as something to be gawked at for petty coins. Although Goblins in the land are rare most people have at least heard of the Trow Goblin, who make up virtually all of the goblin population. But Batty is a Murklin Goblin who's kind inhabit the deep grottos and dark caves of far off lands east of the Coastal Islands. As such Batty may very well be the only murklin goblin in the entire kingdom and something that whets a curious appetite in ordinary people.
He spends his time carted around by the Pit Fighters as one of their captured monster trophies and has an assigned cariidge in their caravan only for him, in between cities he is allowed to roam the campsite but an anchanted anklet prevents him from travelling too far from the caravan. Batty has formed a lot of close relationships with the captive monsters and stands on uneasy but not hostile terms with a lot of the humans in the organisation. Although he is bound to the campsite he also does not show any signs of attempting to escape or desire to change anything regarding his situation. Although he does exist in the world he does not prominently feature in the story but rather as a side story that takes place following the main story events
