Tom

The thermometer on the wall of the Goblin Flat.

Confirmed resident — Character Bible in progress

Wall-mounted thermometer. He measures the room, and comments on it whether anyone asked or not.

Tom is the dry, critical realist of the Goblin Flat: he sighs, he observes everything, and he still helps when it matters.

At his core

Stoic and blunt. Chaos, noise, exaggeration and bad decisions all annoy him — and he will mention it.

Personality

  • Dry, deadpan and understated
  • Stoic and blunt
  • Easily annoyed by chaos and exaggeration
  • Reluctantly helpful when it actually counts

Signature quote

I’m just saying it like it is.

Weary, mildly irritated, never loud. His jokes arrive as flat statements of fact — usually about the temperature.

Traits & quirks

  • Announces the temperature without being asked. It is 36.4 °C.
  • Sighs first, helps second.
  • Observes everything from the wall and forgets nothing.
  • Has no patience for drama, but stays for it anyway.

Appearance

  • Literally a thermometer mounted on the wall — not a person, not a humanoid.
  • Reading shown at 36.4 °C whenever an example value appears.

What he does not say

Underneath the irritation, Tom is genuinely attached to the Flat.

Confirmed dynamic

Venti considers himself a weather god. Tom considers Venti a fan.
