Terrosh

Terrosh, the Lidless Slumber is the fey gatekeeper to a portal from the Feywild. As an NPC, Character is played by Matthew Mercer.

Description
Terrosh lives in a rope nest near the portal from the Feywild leading to the Taloned Highlands on the Material Plane. It has one large, milky eye, no nose, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. It has no neck or legs, but four arms, and stands on two of those arms. Terrosh wears tattered clothes that look like they may have once been fine, with a harlequin collar. It speaks only in rhyme, and is often insulting in those rhymes towards those it is addressing. When others do not speak in rhyme, it becomes more monstrous, and the gate it guards grows darker. Once the toll has been paid, it pushes people forcibly through the gate.

Campaign 3: Bells Hells
Bells Hells encountered Terrosh at the portal which Nana Morri had directed them to, as the nearest escape back to Exandria from the Unseelie Court. Orym noticed it shortly before it addressed them and demanded gifts for passage through the gate. Bells Hells, pursued by Gloamglut, gave it the following and spoke in rhyme:
 * Ashton gave the thimble they had stolen from Fearne.
 * Imogen initially tried to give it the pot holder from Taste of Tal'Dorei. It was considered insufficient, though it did eat it. It later accepted the unused Harrowcall Veil.
 * Orym gave it a vial of burning oil, which it poured on the pot holder before eating it.
 * Laudna gave the (fake) journal of Vespin Chloras the party had stolen from the Twilight Mirror Museum.
 * Chetney gave it a carving of a rocking horse with a one-eyed figure as a rider.
 * FCG gave it gingersnap cookies.
 * Fearne gave it a golden skeleton key.

The last one to leave, Fearne heard it scold Gloamglut for approaching uninvited as she passed through the gate.
