Frondzie

is a Patron-only pet that the player character can choose to spawn with. Xe is a sentient vine who enjoys telling jokes that much of the rest of Qud takes offense.

Frondzie has the ability to taunt a random target. This taunt makes fun of a random topic; this topic can be a random object, faction, key locations, or characters, and has no bearing on the actual target of the taunt. The target must make a Willpower save with a difficulty of 12 against Frondzie's Ego. If they fail this save, they become enraged by the mockery and their highest priority is to attack Frondzie.

This taunt will can target any creature within the zone, including those who are considered neutral or even friendly to the player/Frondzie. After the taunt, Frondzie must wait 20 turns to taunt again. If Frondzie somehow lacks a party leader, xe will not taunt.
