#Xanathar

[thesnadger]

I have a question about this image of Xanathar's Thieves Guild.

Why does he have sexily lounging elf boys?

I ask because I cannot imagine a beholder being attracted to anything other than itself. Does he just understand Sexily Lounging Elf Boys to be a status symbol, and he wants anyone who visits to know he can afford Sexily Lounging Elf Boys?

Maybe I'm the asshole here for assuming. Maybe these boyfriends are master tacticians here to advise Xanathar, they happen to like wearing leather pants and no shirts and I should be less quick to reduce them to sex objects.

I don't care, I love it, this is all I can think of every time I see it:

As a DM, I had an inner conflict in me when I was preparing my WDDH module. Xanathar is described as hysterical and paranoid, he's also an eyeball with eyeballs, in other words - he's laughable. I wanted him to be threatening, menacing, posing as a Mafia Boss that he is, maybe not the most competent one, but quite capable to form a criminal guild and kill five other beholders threatening his authority (therefore the teardrops tats).

I drew this picture, and it was a great middle ground for me - the tattoos balanced his goofy identity but still gave off menacing vibes. The book and the hookah are traditionally depicted with him as well.

I'm proud to say my players loved the eccentric mafia boss!

The incredible, the powerful, the majestic, the smartest, the unique, the Xanathar!! Welcomes you to the City of Splendors, Waterdeep ✨

Will you be foolish enough to brave him? 🔆

I love all the antagonists of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, but Xanathar is maybe a tiny bit my favorite.

So I got the Xanathar figure recently with Zero regrets. I love this guy so much, the smile, the fish and the LOOKS. I would like to eventually make replicas of his office.

From the main Ravenloft....Duke tries to tell Heart to let him go and deal with Xanathar alone. However, Heart refuses to turn away when she knows he needs her. So he finds understanding and compassion, as well as comfort, as he hugs her tight.
