Guscus Witchlayer

Overview
Once a dwarf skald with the bad habit of sleeping around and with proclivity for hags, witches, and other supernatural women when in their fairer forms, Guscus is a boisterous young dwarf trapped in a shield by Lilith as punishment for cheating on her. Given to the silver dragon Rundris as a gift for her hoard, he has spent the last 350 years alone in her lair after she expired. Desperate for companionship and adventure once again, Guscus is an open, friendly man hoping to break the curse but determined to make the best of his new lease on life.

Often comments on the situation he finds himself in with a booming voice, expressing approval of dwarves and disapproval of elves. Over the years he has grown rather fond of his appearance, and demands only the best work for his crafted body.

Combat Stats
As an animated shield made from a dwarf, Guscus has the following abilities:
 * When attuned, his wielder may use a bonus action to cause him to leap into the air for a minute, protecting them as though they were wielding him. Can be carried like a normal shield most of the rest of the time. If the attuned user is incapacitated, he drops next to them or into a free hand if they have one.
 * 2 AC
 * As a magical item, he cannot be damage or destroyed by mundane means or rust monsters, and regenerates superficial damage
 * Darkvision up to 60 ft.
 * Passive Perception 14 and +4 to perception checks, but has disadvantage thanks to limited range of vision and lack of smell, taste, or keen hearing
