Character Biography:

Gyth spends a lot of his time digging and mapping out underground geography. This information proves useful to Link when it comes to getting into impossible places. Unlike his people, Gyth wants to leave the underground and map out the world above. He wants to show his people that there is an entire world worth exporing out there. This proves difficult since the other cave scrubs would rather remain underground digging for crystals and growing mushrooms. It is too much of a risk, venturing out into the burning sun with predators afoot.

He mostly travels during the night and occasionally pops up in random places. If he dares to travel during the day to see the sights, he'll stick to any available shade as much as possible.

You MUST also include your thoughts on how you arrived at your design (i.e. What inspired/influenced you? How does the character's special skill, etc, affect their design?):

I . . . just like mushrooms. And deku Link was cute, so I smooshed their designs together. The whole cave scrub concept arose from the mushroom design.

Deku scrubs are (C) Nintendo but this particular design is by me.
