Jesters

Jesters normally exist purely as a joyful source of color and entertainment for the everyday citizen. However, their fun-filled facade can sometimes mask great maliciousness. A warped Jester can quickly turn from harmless fool to deadly joker -- beware of these dangerous individuals!

Sometimes known as "Larks" in earlier Ages, Jesters can primarily be found in and around castles.

Notable Examples

 * Chuckles is one of the good Jesters. While he is a prankster by nature, he knows the line and never crosses it.
 * Jesters in Ultima I are less nice, and have to be killed to get the key to the cell of the princess.
 * The odd village New Jester in Ultima II is full of almost nothing but clingy Jesters.
 * The Banes of Chaos truly have a sick sense of humor. When the Avatar comes near the Castle of the White Dragon in Ultima VII/2 to confront them, the hero is confronted with a horde of killer Jesters that throw around deadly fireballs.
