Chaco's Prize Counter

Prominent large glass display case in the ballroom featuring holographic prize representations on a rotating carousel, manned by a wolf-headed bard.

Chaco's Prize Counter first materializes in Book 5 as a lavish, glass-cased display in the ballroom of the Over City, where a wolf-headed bard named Chaco presides over a rotating holographic carousel of coveted prizes. Across the series, the counter evolves from a static, high-stakes vendor into a dynamic narrative hub, reflecting the crawlers' growing influence and the dungeon's shifting rules. Its presence underscores the tension between the dungeon's spectacle and the crawlers' survival, as the prizes become both rewards and catalysts for conflict.
