Clarissa Dunlop, or Mother Dunlop as her brood call her, has a lot of children. A lot. All of the Dunlop Brood emerged from Clarissa fully grown men - or, nearly-men. The Dunlop Boys love their mother and will do anything to protect her. Some of them look more or less human, most of them very much less. When venturing outside, they may wear stolen clothes or rags, but inside the oppressive warmth of Dunlop Manor, they're more than likely naked, all the better to feel Mother Dunlop's skin against theirs. The most peculiar aspect of the Dunlop Boys is their constantly roiling skin, which comes from the scores of Dunfell Molluscs that live within them. Every Dunlop Boy is born with these creatures as part of him, and can vomit them forth, all the better to spread the Dunlop's particular style of thinkin'. Instinct: To protect Mother Dunlop and spread the Dunlop Molluscs

• Barth forth Molluscs.
• Call other Dunlop Boys from further in the house
• Charge en masse
