King-Errant (Ex) Exiled King Tooth seems to be acquaintances with many lands and many customs, giving some credibility to his wild stories of his lost realm. He treats Handle Animal, Knowledge (dungeoneering), Knowledge (nobility), Ride, and Survival as class skills and can make all Knowledge checks untrained.

Regal Arms (Su) In combat, Exiled King Tooth wields a sword and a bow fitted for his size, both acting as +1 flaming weapons. No one is sure where they come from and where they go when doesn't fight (though he occasionally seems to draw the sword during some of his royal gestures), and the bow produces its own arrows (which use animal teeth for arrowheads). No one got their hands on either before, but if his claims of kingship are true, it is likely they are remaining regalia of his station and won't work for anyone else.

Stories Of Home (Ex and Su) No form of magic seems capable to confirming if Exiled King Tooth tells the truth or lies. Attempts to detect his lies fail, but so do attempts to divine location or learn anything else of his supposed realm. Some sort of fey shenanigans should be expected.


Exiled King Tooth claims to be, well, an exiled king coming from a fairy kingdom no one ever heard of. His descriptions of his realm are confusing and contradictory, mentioning depths of earth, lush forests, swamps, and glacier-covered mountains.

Exiled King Tooth behaves with a hint of smooth regal bearing, generosity, and courage greater than his stature (or combat capabilities, really), often entering into scuttles with animals of his size or larger for perceived or actual slights. He seems to consider all animals to be of equal sapience to humanoids, which might had been true back in his realm, and so he ascribes actual malice or benevolence to their natural actions, though it doesn't stop him from influencing them with his wild empathy and taming with Handle Animal. He seems to enjoy bridling cats, dogs, and big enough birds as his temporary steeds, though he has a very limited skill at directing them.

He claims that he was exiled from his kingdom by a conspiracy though he is unsure who was actually behind his exile (or can't remember). He remains convinced that his loyal subjects would gladly welcome his return. He occasionally offer seemingly random, nonsensical, or outright silly quests that are somehow supposed to help him return home, rewarding his champions with promises of titles and royal gratitude. If pestered for an actual reward he can occasionally produce a minor magical item or two or a few gems of moderate value.
