Seems like these little guys are real in Stickworld.

They are able to be summoned by anyone (Belkar is not known to be a summoner) suffering a moral dilemma, but do not engage in combat and instead restrict themselves to persuasion of the summoner towards a certain course of action (not entirely unlikes lawyers in the Stickworld, come to think of it).

I wonder if any game actually uses this sort of thing? I wonder if these very minor outsiders will somehow play a more active role in the comic’s last book?
