Template:Infobox NPC Putrilius is a Template:RSL demon currently inhabiting the body of a rooster at the top of the Grand Hall. Reaching them takes some platforming and a fight with a Dragonwilds:Black Knight Warrior and a Dragonwilds:Black Knight Sniper on some rafters. Putrilius cannot be attacked, and their only dialogue is "Bwak?" After the quest Dragonwilds:Biohazard, Putrilius offers to exchange 10 Corrupted Essence for 50 Infernal Fragments.
History
Putrilius was one of the last surviving Cthonian demons, a cannibalistic race who were once the rulers of Infernus. By her own account she held the rank of "grand-sub-sub-clerk of the great office of numerical records," placing her at the very bottom of the Chthonian hierarchy. She credits this insignificance with her survival, as she was too small and easily forgotten to be consumed by her peers.Template:CiteNPC
When the Template:RSL destroyed the Chthonian ruling class, Putrilius chose a different path to survival than the rest of her kind. Rather than fighting, she fragmented herself into tiny forms and hid within the physical bodies of lesser avernic demons, surviving the purge as a passive passenger rather than a combatant. While inside her hosts she could nudge but not fully control them, and so lived contentedly as a spectator for some time. Her fragments later spread to some of the humans at Dragonwilds:Dowdun Reach.Template:CiteNPC
When Rasmodel shattered the Dragonwilds:Dreaming Stone, the energy released by Dragonwilds:Avisk's escaping consciousness overwhelmed Putrilius's already-fragmented presence inside her hosts. The two forces collided, triggering what Putrilius describes as "something like a civil war inside the flesh," warping the hosts into the corrupted state found throughout Dowdun Reach. She lost control of nearly all her fragments, and was forced to possess a maple tree in the surrounding area.Template:CiteNPC
Inside the maple, Putrilius spent roughly two years barely registering a thought, aligning unwillingly to the tree's slow inner rhythm. They were woken only when a logging axe felled the maple, and for a moment existed within the wood as it was fletched into a shortbow.
