Encounter: small girl with toes for teeth, wondering if you have any rations you might spare. “Nothing too cwunchy,” she says, “I hafta eat it wiff my toe-teef.”

Encounter: an Old Man of Coblenz (source), a completely normal human (retired thief) that when a young adventurer had a novice wizard cast Longstrider on him, but the spell went wrong. His legs are each 3m long, but since he has to move further with each stride it doesn’t actually make him walk any faster, plus his balance is atrocious and he has incredible trouble putting on his pants.

Encounter: Terry from the Gas Works, an unfortunate human cursed by a very drunk wizard to have a small wooden boat for a head after taking too long on a service call. Obviously an amazing swimmer, but very sensitive about his appearance.

Encounter: the Numbertaker. If you haven’t seen the British preschool show “Numberjacks” he’s a little hard to explain beyond ‘strange man with a pathological kleptomania towards certain numbers’, so I’ll let their wiki elaborate: 

He causes trouble by taking numbers and “numbers of things”; as numbers themselves, the Numberjacks
have to be particularly careful when dealing with him. The sleeves of
his long with coat hide various attachments with which to steal numbers –
a number-sucker-upper, a number grabber, a net, a magnet, a long
pointed pole, a hook, and sometimes just his own hands. He neither
speaks in any of his appearances, nor smiles much either.

Irrelevant note: I swear this dude feels like a “Doctor Who” villain.
