Fatty Arbuckle, often simply called "Fatty", was a skeleton animated by the necromantic powers of Gern Blanston, serving with his fellow thralls Carol, Coral, and Stimpy. As a companion NPC, Fatty Arbuckle was played by Matthew Mercer, but he followed the instructions of Gern's player, Chris Hardwick.
Biography[]
Background[]
Fatty was not related to Gern Blanston or his other thralls, although Gern considered them all a make-shift family.[6]
"Cindergrove Revisited" (1x46)[]
While investigating the ruins of Pyrah after Thordak's escape from the Elemental Plane of Fire, Vox Machina spotted a group of four undead creatures.[7] After killing Carol, the group spotted a blue-skinned humanoid running toward them.[8] He introduced himself as Gern Blanston,[9] then introduced his three remaining thralls: Coral, Fatty Arbuckle, and Stimpy.[10]
Fatty helped Gern and Vox Machina in their fight with the salamanders and elementals around Cindergrove, who were guarding the area around a portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire.[11] Fatty started the fight by triggering an Ice Storm candle,[12] then served as a beating dummy for the enemies.[13] Although he survived the Ice Storm and several attacks, Fatty was eventually destroyed by Gern as collateral damage when attacking the enemies with a Cone of Cold.[14]
