Sprinkle

 is a crimson weasel pet of Jester Lavorre. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Sprinkle is a small, red-furred weasel.

Personality
The Mighty Nein's dangerous adventures across many varied environments have hardened Sprinkle, making him twitchy and paranoid. As Jester knows very little about weasels and often forgets that Sprinkle is even on her person, Sprinkle is also sleep-deprived and emaciated, making him extremely aggressive.

Background
Prior to Jester's ownership, Sprinkle was owned by travelling pet salesman Kestiff Drudy.

Notable Appearances


The Mighty Nein passed a pet salesman on the road between Zadash and Nicodranas. Beau and Jester split the cost of a blink puppy they named Nugget. Jester bought Sprinkle on her own.

During down time as the Ball-Eater traveled from the Gravid Archipelago to Nicodranas, Jester taught Sprinkle to fetch small items for her.

Jester decided to make a weasel nest for Sprinkle in the tree on top of their tower and then forced him into it against his will. He was last seen, clearly very unhappy, hissing at her.

Sprinkle somehow survived the boiling waters of Vokodo's lair, but it put him in a very bad mood. When Caleb put octopus-Frumpkin on Jester's shoulder, Sprinkle immediately attacked him and Frumpkin poofed out of existence.

Jester Lavorre
Jester is Sprinkle's owner. He rides on her shoulders, hiding in her hood in dangerous circumstances.

Yasha Nydoorin
After returning to the Xhorhaus from their encounter with Isharnai, Yasha gave Sprinkle a bath. He hated this experience.

Caduceus Clay
Sprinkle is assumed to trust Caduceus, as seen when Sprinkle accepted a sandwich Caduceus gave him, despite being in a irritable mood due to Yasha giving him a bath. This trust may be due to Caduceus being able to communicate with animals.

Oremid Hass
Oremid Hass has a fondness for animals and Sprinkle is no exception. He loves to hold and pet both Frumpkin and Sprinkle. Oremid is very knowledgeable about how to take care of animals and has given advice to Jester on at least one occasion.

Trivia
