BerryWise

Is it slime or is it batter?
No one can say for certain what slipped out of the Celestial Confections Conservatoire that day. Perhaps it was an experiment gone awry—or an unexpected success. Whispers tell of a student attempting to create a new muffin flavor using enchanted berries from the elusive Mothalisa.

What is known is this: something gooey, golden, and slightly giggly oozed its way off the workbench, slithered through the sugar-sparkled halls… and vanished. Some say it still wanders, seeking the perfect bake

Basic Information

Anatomy

Berrywise has a warm, stretchy, dough-like outer membrane that holds its wobbly form together. It smells faintly of nutmeg and cinnamon, with edges that gleam a soft golden hue—like it just came out of the oven. When excited, it can spontaneously sprout colorful sprinkles across its surface in a joyful burst. At its center lies a single, plump Mothalisian blueberry, a rare fruit said to be infused with ancient fae magic. This enchanted core gives Berrywise its peculiar sentience and charm. Surrounding it is a magical aroma veil—a five-foot aura of soothing bakery scents that shift with its emotions:

Blueberry when calm

Chocolate chip when excited

Burnt sugar when angered.

Few can stay tense in its presence, and many report a comforting sense of nostalgia and warmth, as if remembering a childhood kitchen.

Companion Traits

  • Can share its square with its master.
  • Will play dead if combat becomes too intense.
  • Can be commanded to deliver muffins (or make one once per long rest with enough ingredients).
  • Likes head pats, warm places, and licking spilled batter.
