Meet Sprinkledoom

Once a respectable lower-cavern Netherkin, Sprinkledoom discovered funfetti at a human birthday party and has been celebrating something ever since.

Origin & lore

Sprinkledoom was once a perfectly respectable lower-cavern Netherkin until it breached a human birthday celebration and discovered “funfetti.” Witnesses report the creature consumed an entire bowl of rainbow sprinkles in under four minutes before attempting to fight a disco ball.

Netherkin scholars still debate whether the colorful flecking in its fur is cosmetic staining or a permanent magical condition caused by concentrated sugar exposure. Sprinkledoom refuses to clarify and instead screams “EVERYTHING IS CONFETTI” before sprinting directly into furniture.

Despite its fearsome horns and unsettling mouth cavity, Sprinkledoom is considered mostly harmless unless exposed to frosting, energy drinks, or the phrase “one more shot.”

Appearance

Round-bodied Netherkin with oversized batlike ears, tiny ivory horns, and a permanently open mouth believed to aid in rapid snack intake. Its dark, oily glaze is scattered with shimmering blue, green, and gold speckles resembling trapped party glitter embedded deep within its fur.

The interior resembles an endless void, though several field researchers insist they briefly smelled vanilla cake while peering inside.
