Blibdoolpoolp's Loopadoop
Traditions
Stolen directly from D&D beyond (I will rephrase this holiday description later): This kuo-toa holiday is not confined to any particular day on the Calendar of Harptos, instead it was invented by the insane fish-folk as a way of paying tribute to their goddess Blibdoolpoolp, a giant naked lady with a crayfish head, and they only remember the holiday if they are exposed to sunlight for over a period of an hour. Yeah, um, also I didn't make her up. That's her on the left, being summoned and looking fabulous at a particularly festive Blibdoolpoolp's Loopadoop barbecue. The kuo-toa believe there is only one way to please Blibdoolpoolp: find a way to flip one's self in a circle so that you hang upside down. Unfortunately the lack of rollercoasters in Faerûn makes this incredibly complicated, and many kuo-toa die as they roam the beaches searching for way they may hastily assemble contraptions that will flip them around, often maiming or decapitating them. Do not try to stop them for fear of them hurting themselves, they will bite you as often as they can without it interrupting whatever trebuchet-self-launch they are attempting to rig with a palm tree and seaweed. The polite thing to do if you find a pile of kuo-toa heads and limbs is to kick them into the shade with your boot and not look directly into their dead eyes. It's not so much a cultural kuo-toa thing as a way to make it less gross for the next humanoid to walk down that beach. (It's good hygiene and less likely to ruin your date.) If you would like to celebrate Blibdoolpoolp's Loopadoop with the kuo-toa in your life, but in a safe and responsible way, simply buy a fish at the local market and throw it high in the air while screaming nonsense words. Most fish-mongers will understand the sentiment.History
