Zotzpox the Imp

Zotzpox was the familiar of Elzid Natholin, a wizard living near Ankhapur. His master met a woman and decided to stop being evil. An angry Zotzpox sabotaged his master's alchemical experiments, causing an explosion that destroyed Elzid's tower and killed Elzid in the process. When people started snooping around the ruins, Zotzpox killed them, too.
Zotzpox was nearly killed himself when The Three came to investigate the missing woman Erilyn Windfellow, Elzid's betrothed. Nearly killing both Stolig and Raeth, Zotzpox fled when dealt a terrible blow from the cleric's silver mace. He has vowed to kill The Three before returning to the Nine Hells or finding a new master in Faerun.
