Oberion for President

I love Oberion SO MUCH. Here are the top four reasons why Oberion may be the best villain of all time:

1. He appears during a Lunar Occultation (when the moon eclipses one of the other planets in the solar system). He appears at the Occultation, and remains for up to 24 hours.

2. He can only be banished by waiting out the 24 hours, or by getting him to die by his own chaos. You can damage him, but he will stay at 1 hp until he suffers damage from his own machinations. He has to roll a 1 on a chaos attempt in order to be banished. Otherwise, he's here for 24 hours, causing all sorts of mischief.

3. He's the 'deposed' king of the Sprites. So he is constantly upset and broody and throwing himself around that he has been deposed. I see lots of temper tantrums. 

4. He's got an INT of 3 and the impulsiveness of a 7th-grade boy. It's probably not hard to trick him into doing something stupid (although he KNOWS that he is constantly tricked into doing something stupid, so he watches out for the obvious things, but then easily lets his guard down). If you tell him you've got a special, magic-proof box, and trying to use magic on it will automatically cause him to be dispelled, he might believe you - and spend hours trying to figure out how to get the box open without using magic, finally doing something really dumb (like jumping off a bridge with it under his butt to land on it and break it open) that will get him dispelled.

I have an idea for a story where the whole thing is about Doc just running out the clock. I have another idea where he does something SUPER chaotic (at least, Doc convinces him it is) - saving the world as its greatest superhero, Oberion the Oblivious (which Doc convinces him means 'really, really powerful - and super smart'). There are SO many great story ideas embedded in this character.

I mean, I've got a page in my head where he's just rescued a cat from a tree, and he's trying to scare the little girl who owns it (because Doc has convinced him that she is deathly afraid of cats, and this will cause her all sorts of therapy later on), and as Oberion is trying to scare her and tells her to 'TAKE THE CAT" (gleeful that he is inflicting all of this psychological harm) Doc is over his shoulder behind him pantomiming to the girl to say things like "oh jeez no" and "please stop. Oh goodness me" - but she is super monotone and not getting into character at all and completely deadpan; however, Oberion doesn't get it and thinks he's just committed the most evil crime of all time.
