Gaspode the Wonder Dog is a small and ratty terrier-like mongrel who lives on the streets of Raktam. He has an intense fear of bathing,
and therefore stinks to the almighty Gods. He has an abundant mixture of unpleasant odours and diseases, so you really ought to be
careful about touching him.

The homeless mutt's life took a slight turn for the better when he gained the ability to both think and speak as a human. He uses his gift
to take advantage of the fact that people are unable to grasp the idea that a dog could talk. This occuring phenomenon is usually
interpreted by those in earshot as subconscious self-suggestions; since everyone knows that dogs can't speak, people tend to interpret
his speech as personal thoughts, a tendency which Gaspode regularly uses to finagle food from passersby. He tends to speak sounds like
"growl" and "bark" rather than actually vocalize the sounds.
