Spurt

 was a kobold inventor. He was played by Chris Perkins.

Appearance
Spurt carries a hefty array of makeshift oddities and accessories bound and lashed against his person, such as flasks, boxes, pouches, and baskets, which contain various captured creatures. Most notable is a cage which holds a live skunk. Spurt wields a staff with a live scorpion secured to the tip, stinger end pointed out, and a bag of hornets tied to the end.

Personality
Spurt was a very young kobold, hardly more than a newborn. As an inventor he was resourceful, having fashioned a diverse array of weapons largely using captured creatures. Spurt was naïve to most dangers, blindly following the Nein for little more than the promise of food.

Background
Sometime prior to meeting the Mighty Nein, Spurt's brother was eaten by a green slime (the same green slime that he kept in a pot, in fact). Spurt claims it to be the worst thing he had ever seen.

Spurt was dispatched to spy on the Mighty Nein and put rot grubs in their mouths as they slept. Spurt joined the party as a scout at the first promise of food. Spurt then led them partway through the tunnel, until they came upon the Fire Giant citadel. Once there, Spurt rushed out and threw his wasp nest in a bag at one of the Giants, who took negligible damage and then smashed Spurt with his hammer. Spurt was killed instantly because of the high damage.

Trivia

 * Chris Perkins was the first guest to appear in both campaigns.
 * Spurt is the third guest player character to die and the first guest player character to die on the screen. Coincidentally, two of these characters were played by Chris Perkins.
 * He is also the guest player character to be on the show for the shortest time, appearing for less than 30 minutes before his death.
 * Spurt is the youngest player character to appear on Critical Role, while Perkins' previous character Shale was one of the oldest.
 * It is likely that Spurt was not only eleven days old, nor do kobolds live for only eleven days. Rather, Spurt probably had no idea for how long kobolds live, and had a tenuous grasp of time.
