A wise kobold would fear the forces of Hell, and certainly would not set up a highly lucrative transdimensional trade in damned souls. But Pikel is better known for his whip than his wisdom, mercilessly tormenting his piteous charges as he ferries them to their buyers.

Useful Info

Pikel, Merchant of Souls is a unique kobold who has a number of lemures under his command. He is dangerous on his own, wielding an enchanted whip of flaming (40% chance), freezing (40%), or electrocution (20% chance, and by far the most dangerous). With the help of his thralls, he is more than a match for most low-level characters. If you can manage to kill him, however, his slaves will be freed and will leave the Dungeon.
