Creatures
The various creatures that the player can encounter across the world of Tunic.
Characters
Tunic has several friendly characters.
Fox
The fox,[1][2] also known as the Ruin Seeker,[3][4] is the playable protagonist of Tunic. They seek to explore ruins, or to bring ruin to the world.
Appearance
The fox is a small anthropomorphic orange fox with white patches of fur. Their nose and their paws are brown. They have a hair floof that bounces on their forehead as they move around. They wear a green tunic with a brown belt (yellow in the box art), and a purple-pink neckband.
The fox's colors can be customized in the secret changing room to the right of the Overworld's fountain.
Personality
The fox is fascinated with treasure and always locks their head to face any nearby unopened treasure chests, somehow even being able to sense them through solid walls. They also stare at signposts, Check-Points, manual sheets, tombs, fox ghosts, and targetable objects, like enemies.
Trivia
- The colors of the Lures (other than in the inventory), Oblivion Seekers, and The Heir match the customization colors of the player’s fox.

Spectral Seller
| Locations |
The Spectral Seller,[1] also known as the Shopkeeper,[2][3] is a character in Tunic. They sell merchandise to the player at the shop.

The Spectral Seller patiently watches the fox wherever they wander within the shop, and the Seller's hand tips float close to each other, as if expectant of the fox to buy something. The Spectral Seller is appreciative of the fox spending money at the shop, politely bowing whenever the fox purchases one of their goods.

Adventurers beware, there are no ways to obtain unlimited quantities of Ice Bombs or Hot Peppers on a single playthrough, as the Spectral Seller does not sell them, making them a limited resource.

The Heir is a tall ghostly anthropomorphic fox wearing a long flowing tunic. They wield a large glowing sword called the "Sword of The Heir" by page 41 of the instruction manual.
Plot
Within The Far Shore, the player can discover The Heir, who is trapped within The Shadow Oubliette's shivering ring. The player procures the red, green, and blue keys, and places them on pedestals within the Sealed Temple of the Overworld, freeing The Heir. Off-screen, The Heir enters the Spirit Arena and obtains the Sword of The Heir. They await for the player.
When the player arrives, The Heir gently greets them. However, The Heir betrays them, slashing down the Sword of The Heir upon them to engage them in combat. If the player dies, they become a ghost and are sent to Ruin Seeker's Arrival during the night.
During Ending A, the player defeats The Heir, and The Heir dissipates into light. The player inherits the role and becomes the Heir-To-The-Heir. They are trapped within The Shadow Oubliette.
During Ending B, the player presents the completed instruction manual to The Heir, sharing their wisdom.

Trivia

Plot
Page 17 of the instruction manual states that Explosive Bombs are made from Slorm.
Through visual storytelling, it is depicted that the Slorms of the Ruined Atoll have become corrupted by the miasma spilling forth from the broken conduits, polluting the waters in which they live in. Unlike the normal Slorms of Under the Well, the corrupted Ruined Atoll Slorms have eyes that glow pink, and when they die, they temporarily leave behind an unnatural pink explosion of miasma.
A Husher is seen eating at the remains of a corrupted Slorm in the southern part of the Ruined Atoll. This act, along with various outdated information on page 34 of the instruction manual, implies that the Hushers have inherited the disease from eating the corrupted Slorms, altering their appearance and making them aggressive. In comparison, Plovers show no visual signs of the disease and are not depicted to eat corrupted Slorms, so they are not aggressive towards the player.

Plot
Page 34 of the instruction manual depicts Hushers to have normal black eyes, free of corruption. As well, they are stated to be "friendly." This page of the manual also depicts what appears to be a recommended order to approach the 4 tombs of the Ruined Atoll, and the walls and conduits of the atoll are intact and undamaged.
However, this page of the instruction manual is outdated, as it does not accurately reflect the state of the Ruined Atoll. Hushers in the atoll have eyes that glow pink, and they act aggressive and unfriendly. Furthermore, the recommended order to approach the 4 tombs is not practical, due to the collapse and decay of the walls and conduits.
At some point in time between the creation of page 34 and the events of the game, Slorms of the Ruined Atoll became corrupted by the miasma spilling forth from the broken conduits, polluting the waters in which they live in. Unlike the normal Slorms of Under the Well, the corrupted Ruined Atoll Slorms have eyes that glow pink, and when they die, they temporarily leave behind an unnatural pink explosion of miasma.
A Husher is seen eating at the remains of a corrupted Slorm in the southern part of the Ruined Atoll. This implies that the Hushers have inherited the disease from eating the corrupted Slorms, altering their appearance and making them aggressive. In comparison, Plovers show no visual signs of the disease and are not depicted to eat corrupted Slorms, so they are not aggressive towards the player.

A Fossil of Self is depicted crucified within the Cathedral on page 4 of the instruction manual. This non-aggressive one is found during gameplay and disappears after venerating to the nearby tomb. Other non-aggressive Fossils of Self are seen imprisoned and entombed within the Rooted Ziggurat.
The player can venerate to the first encountered one in the Rooted Ziggurat, and to the Cathedral one, which causes them to "awaken," and their head turns to watch the player more closely.
The aggressive Fossil of Self ambushes the player at night within the Monastery of the Quarry, bringing miasma that blocks the escape route with it. Defeating it removes the newly-introduced miasma, as well as the miasma blocking the path towards the Hero's Grave. After its defeat, it does not respawn.
