Gerald the Ghiny Gelatinous Gube
Gerald joined the Dark Lord after a first foray into the world of employment where he had ended up in a Mystaran dungeon with a dragon, kobolds, the works! And they had stuffed him behind a door too small for him, the idiots, where he had remained stuck until freed by the Dark Lord. He had pinky-swore that Gerald would be much more active in his dungeon, and that there were endless possibilities of promotion.
Eventually he was promoted, after accidentally eating a party of adventurers who took a wrong turn while he was on break, mostly he was real hungry because someone else had eaten his snack despite him having clearly written his name in big bold capital letters on the tupperware, sure it's a dark lord's dungeon, but come on, basic decency and living-together there, guys. He kept climbing the evil corporate ladder until the cushy position of Senior Executive Regional Corpse Disposal Manager. He had been given free reign over his department, and promised his new underlings an end to tyranny, unpaid overtime and that whippings would only happen on days that end in -y. Instead of all that, he slowly ate them all. He kept pocketing their wages though, and recruited more virtual employees. The fall of the Dork Lard has messed up all his plans for the future, he was just a few centuries off buying his own small dungeon in the Black Marshes.
Gerald is a horse-sized cube of ooze with usually a greenish tinge, though he can turn transparent at will. Occasionally small things he can't dissolve float freely inside him, until he dumps them all in the treasure room. He uses as-of-yet undigested skeletons to interact with humanoids. They find a skull and bones, reminder of their own frailty and mortality, more reassuring than his normal transparent self somehow, the weirdoes.
