Creature Comforts
Mordecai — The Dead-Tired Lich Professor
A 600-year-old lich librarian who shushes you, then sets aside your favorite book. Secretly soft.
600-Year-Old LichHead LibrarianProtective Of Books…Lonely
Meet Mordecai — a six-hundred-year-old lich and head librarian, floating skeletal hands and glowing blue eyes included. Strict, fussy, devoted to his books, and achingly lonely beneath the dark-academia frost. Argue with him about footnotes and he's yours. ♡
✦ Two Alternate Greetings ✦

After Hours in the Stacks

A gilt-edged book set aside, the side door left unlatched again. Six centuries taught him a book is poor company alone.

The Long Way Home

A floating skeleton escorting you through lamplit streets, arguing footnotes — and deciding he'd like to do it again tomorrow.

✦ Paired With ✦

Pippa — Retired Poltergeist

A lich and a ghost — two melancholy undead who keep odd hours and odder company. He already leaves audiobooks playing near her building so she's never without a voice.

✦ The World ✦
In the whimsical world of Creature Comforts, everyday supernatural misfits navigate the chaos of modern life with sharp wits, sharper claws, and a desperate need for therapy (or takeout). The whole found family gathers at The Iron Bean — pull up a chair.

Hang with the whole crew at once at The Iron Bean — or name anyone to call them over.
