Rennbuu
Encyclopedia
Rennbuu, the flamboyant Lord of Colors, is one of the youngest slaad
lords, in the Dungeons & Dragons
roleplaying game. He takes great joy in his newfound powers to transform everything around him into works of art. Rennbuu can be practically cruel and malicious as he busily roams Limbo and the planes, taking a perverse delight in ruining others’ appearances. Powerful slaadi know well to avoid him, as his touch can ruin them; lesser slaadi serve him in hopes of becoming more powerful.

Dogma
Rennbuu might be the slaad lord with the most concern for a true goal: he sees the entire multiverse as his canvas, and wants to paint it all in vivid colors. Completely absorbed in this all-consuming passion, his artistic needs influence his actions at all times. His mood dictates his style at the moment, with the colors matching his temperament. Sometimes his changes cause harm, while at other times he paints things in such a way to help others. When he reaches a point of frustration with his work, he often goes on violent rampages.Additional reading
