Sometimes it isn’t the one you expect, either. My group fell in love with the magic shopkeeper I improv’d on the fly. He was just a super ancient wizened dude named Mortimer who was always polishing a skull or dusting a stuffed rat or something when they came in.
We adopted a crazy guy who lived in the sewers. We’d check up on him whenever we were back in town. Ended up giving him a neat magical item that let him cast prestidigitation a few times a day or something, and some other amenities hoping he’d clean up his act. We never finished the campaign, but I like to think he got it together.
Your players actually like the character you wanted them to‽
My players have not yet found this creature. Buuut. In the process of 3D printing a mimic mini, there was an error in scale and I accidentally made a really teenie mimic. And I can’t wait for them to encounter it.

My party doesn’t use lemmy so I can drop some setting spoilers
They don’t know that the adorable orphan they adopted in their time travel adventure is actually the evil lich queen in the modern day, and I’m looking forward to dropping that bomb on them
That can’t possibly get away from you in the meantime, nope.
You think you’re going to drop a bomb on them but you just introduced time travel to your plot. That bomb says acme my friend.
Username oddly checks out
