An Urchin Everyday: Big Stupid

Big Stupid was a private bruiser working in the employ of swarmlord Sir Reginald Burlap of the Weepers, responsible for security around Sir Reginald’s forbidden palace of cardboard and preventing low ranking swarmlings from breaching the compound’s perimeter. Unlike rank and file swarmlings, Big Stupid has taken a spittleoath to the swarmlord rather than to the swarm.

Big Stupid was captured in 1932 by Pinkertons and turned over to the University of Jinantonic Urchinological Studies department for use in a grand experiment designed to test whether urchins could be integrated into Barnacle society.  His handlers renamed him “Billy” and housed him with a suburban Garbagetown family; despite high hopes, Big Stupid failed to thrive and died after only four days in captivity.
