Mortasheen - Nozo by scythemantis on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"Needle Clown"

CLASS: Joker

Created to entertain at birthday parties, nurseries and theme parks, this extremely stretchy, high-bouncing monster can wobble to and fro but never falls down. A popular game is to take turns punching one of these creatures to see who is first to be impaled on its proboscis, which injects a digestive enzyme that dulls pain but tickles maddeningly as the victim's flesh begins to melt.

Nozo produce a variety of cartoonish sproings, boings, honks, cuckoos, hee-haws, quacks, giggles, and bloodcurdling screams of hellish agony to keep children amused, but naturally communicate by a seal-like whooping bark. If punctured - which takes an impressive amount of force for these beasts - they explode in a shower of confetti-like acidic powder.
