Talk:Eubulus

Eubulus is a heavy-set triton with a double chin and a balding head, with ears that stick out like rounded leaves. Wearing a green, unbuttoned vest overtop a thin, plain white tunic, tuffs of chest hair stick out from his collar reaching almost to tickle his chin. His broad, bushy moustache of periwinkle bristles juts out from beneath a large nose, and light blue eyes peer out from a face of dark blue skin. His thick eyebrows are a constant source of movement, following the wrinkles of a furrowed brow one moment, then raising to greet a new customer the next. Eubulus does not wear jewellery or aesthetic adornments of any kind, his garments simple and marked only by the stitchings that keep them secured upon his person.

One end of the silver spike is capped by a smooth wooden handle carved to resemble the coiling shell of a gastropod. The small pink shrimp and pale, greenish snails are mostly dead, although a few still squirm weakly where they are impaled. A dusting of oceanic spices and sprigs of underwater herbs garnish the kabob.
