There's a raw, maternal ferocity in her stance, like a storm cloud ready to unleash thunder over her young.

Prudence appears as a large ursine barmaid in the guildhall's tense moments, first huddled in terror behind the counter with her two cubs amid the chaos of the Butcher's Masquerade. In the following turmoil, she gathers her little ones and ventures into the guildhall proper, embodying the quiet desperation of ordinary folk caught in the dungeon's cruel game. Though her role is brief, she stands as a poignant reminder of the innocent lives tethered to the crawlers' fates, her fear humanizing the alien horrors of the crawl.

Description

Prudence is a massive female ursine with thick, shaggy brown fur covering her powerful, bear-like build, standing well over seven feet tall with broad shoulders and heavy paws. Her face is broad and muzzle-like, with dark eyes that glow faintly in dim light, framed by rounded ears and a sturdy neck. She wears a simple, stained apron tied over a plain tunic that strains against her muscular frame, practical for tavern work. Two small cubs often cling near her, emphasizing her protective presence. Her demeanor carries a mix of quiet strength and underlying vulnerability, fur slightly matted from labor.
