Appearance

● Rounded, orb-like body with a deep galaxy glaze—midnight blues, violet shifts, and star-fleck speckling ● Wide, cavernous mouth lined with small, sharp teeth that catch the light like distant constellations ● Soft, floppy ears that hang at the sides—deceptively gentle against an otherwise ominous form ● Small grounded feet, giving him the unsettling ability to sit perfectly still for long periods

Known quirks

Collects “crumb tithe” in exact, unnegotiable amounts
Appears slightly closer every time you look away
Taps faintly at night, like something counting
Accepts offerings but never confirms satisfaction
Has never been seen blinking

Personality notes

Stargristle is calm, deliberate, and quietly authoritative.
He doesn’t chase chaos—he audits it.
He operates under a strict personal code: all snacks must be accounted for.
Ignore him, and you’ll lose the last bite.
Respect him… and you’ll still lose the last bite, just more politely.
