Never Ending Quest
The Cast of Characters

THE CREATURES

Human beings are not the only people you will find in the NEQ. Elves, Dwarves (not to be confused with dwarfs), Centaurs, Demons and, of course, Dragons are just as much a part of the landscape and the story as good old fashioned people are. In fact, sometimes they are a lot more interesting then the people are. Below you will find all of the various creatures that roam the storyscape of the NEQ listed by type. Those creature characters who's "type" is not quite clear are listed in the OTHER category and I've also included an overview list which simply lists all of the various groups.

OVERVIEW

DRAGONS

The Dragon was introduced in the very first episode of the NEQ, but it was never exactly said what or who this Dragon was. As such, the Dragon has been defined in very different ways over the course of the addventure. In some stories the Dragon is an unthinking beast, in others a highly intelligent and conniving creature. Some versions of the Dragon make it no different than an incredibly powerful mage. While a few versions have it as a terribly alien thing, completely antithetical to the 'normal' world of Man. In a few storylines the Dragon isn't even a Dragon, but is a mage pretending to be a Dragon. Also, in some stories there are a host of other Dragons involved with the plot, but in others Dragon's are so rare as to be almost mythical. As for what kind of Dragon you prefer, well that's up to you.

Besides being terribly short (except for Sleepy who tops five feet) they all have incredibly high voices, like they just swallowed a lot of helium or something.
