Dungeons & Dragons makes viral mutant raccoon Jimothy an official NPC

A mutant raccoon has taken over the internet after being spotted living his best life in Seattle, and now you can add him to your D&D campaign as an enemy, companion, or just a wild NPC.

Following the discovery of a raccoon with what looks to be a spine problem, the internet went wild over the adorable animal, dubbed Jimothy, spotted throughout Seattle. Its spine problems mean it looks smaller than a typical cat or dog, so it’s naturally absolutely adorable, with Seattle residents explaining they’ve “never seen any other animal like it.”

Of course, this means he’s taken over the internet (move over Punch the monkey, there’s a new animal in town) with tons of commenters joking that they “would die for Jimothy.” However, it’s gone a lot further than just fans, as tons of video games have been jokingly showcasing what Jimothy would look like in their worlds.

However, Dungeons & Dragons has taken it one step further, writing up a full stat block so you too can add the iconic raccoon to your adventure.

Jimothy officially made into a D&D creature

Sharing the stat block on X, the Dungeons & Dragons account showcased an official stat block for Jimothy, complete with an unaligned alignment (which makes sense given he’s not too fond of people) and some pretty unique traits.

Perhaps the funniest is “Compact Frame,” which is described as “Jimothy can move through a space as narrow as 4 inches without expending extra movement to do so.” Given his spine problems and small stature, this is both extremely accurate and pretty useful for many parties.

Worry not, though; if you wanted to make him more of an enemy, or companion for one of your Rangers or Druids, or just the entire party, he does have an attack. Jimothy can “Hurl Garbage,” which is a ranged attack roll that leaves the target “stinky until the start of Jimothy’s next turn.” That’s not an official status in D&D, so it’s up to you what punishment that incurs.

The stat block can be used for an NPC the party finds wandering around, a companion for a meme-obsessed player, or even an enemy – after all, who’s saying you can’t increase his damage and health a little to destroy the party?

This isn’t the only game that’s showcasing Jimothy, as he’s even been modded into Stardew Valley and Skyrim, of all things.
