WALKING CASTLE (HUGH)
Walking castles, which start out small at birth, make good household
pets when domesticated. But tremendous growth spurts will make their
owners quickly start keeping them outside. These creatures consist of a
trunk, which is the castle portion, set upon two legs. The innards,
which are completely enterable, are complete with beating heart and
ventricles. Tips for observing walking castles in the wild has been
compiling into "Castle Watching: A Field Guide."
HUGH:
KINGDOM: Quendoran
REGION: Eastlands/Rural Coastal
CLASS: Zork Gothic/Zooooo
GENDER: Indeterminate/Single
GENUS: Biped Fortified Architectailia
SPECIES NAME: "Hugh"
A member of the "Hugh" species of walking castle was in ownership of
Dalboz of Gurth prior to the meridian of the eleventh century. When
young, he noted that, "Hugh seems very shy, almost nervous, really.
Won't let his (???) drawbridge down for a moment. And his moat is
looking a bit yellow. I'm beginning to doubt he can be domesticated at
all." It is unknown exactly how long it takes for a castle to grow to
full-size, but after being away from his home for 19 years, Dalboz
commented, "He sure has grown. I'm glad I started keeping him outside."
Shy, and possibly detesting AFGNCAAP, this "Hugh" was only tamed by the
SNAVIG spell. Somehow harnessing the powers of the castle, AFGNCAAP
used the walking castle to recover the three artifacts of magic that
were capable of restoring magic to all of Zork in 1067. To do this,
"Hugh" was unexplainably able to use the time tunnels to arrive at the
exact location of each specific relic once it was found and each of the
three were stored within its bowels. When AFGNCAAP and Antharia Jack
were imprisoned in the Port Foozle jail, "Hugh" penetrated the walls
with his drawbridge and set them free, carrying them and the artifacts
to the Flathead Mesa were they were aligned to bring about the return
of magic.
