Zoologist



"The bear growled and inched deeper into the corner, favoring one of it's front paws. An injury. The body nearby might have been mistaken by a casual viewer for a victim, but the Keeper had seen this enough times to know. It wasn't eaten, but it was decaying. Not the bear's enemy. In all likelihood, its closest friend. The Keeper extended a reassuring hand, a whiff of comforting pheromones issuing from it, helping the beast understand.

"Your master is gone. Come. You are not abandoned."

The beast's tension lessened and, tentatively, it followed the Keeper of Strays away, to a new life."

Physical Description
The Zoologist is 6’ 5”. He has six arms and green eyes. He always has at least two animals on him. He has a turtle shell and two giant swords on his back. Unlike the other librarians he has a longer more lizard like face. He dresses in tannish colored warm winter clothing.

Standing 6' 5" tall, the Zoologist is broad-shouldered and heavily built. They have six arms and green eyes, like many of their kind, but unlike most Librarians, they have a long, reptilian snout; though it protrudes several inches from their hood, it still somehow manages to be hidden entirely in shadow. His clothing is practical, and he eschews the traditional robes in favor of druid-like trousers that make it easier for him to move.

They are always surrounded by animals, which they collect from around the Library. He carries two broadswords, which he uses to protect his charges. Unconfirmed sources suggest that they have the ability to communicate with animals by the release of some sort of pheromone.

Biography
The Zoologist once belonged to a lizard-like species known in his home dimension as "dragonborn," and he was known even then for his love of animals. Upon entering the Library, they found themself transformed into a Librarian, and their lifelong love of living creatures was strong enough to survive this change.

He now resides in the Courtyard, where he studies and cares for all of the local animals. Gentle and reclusive, they pose little danger to the average Patron; the exception to this is anyone who dares try to harm their animals. The broadswords on his back are not just for show, and he still retains the strength and stamina that he had as a dragonborn so long ago.
