First appearance: Book 4 - The Gate of the Feral Gods
Who is Prepotente?
Prepotente -- commonly called Pony -- is a goat-based crawler who first appears in Book 4. He is loud, abrasive, and insistent on being taken seriously, which the dungeon and his fellow crawlers make consistently difficult. He has a very loud scream. This is relevant more often than you'd expect.
He becomes a fan favorite for reasons that become very clear as the series progresses. He's introduced as apparent comic relief. He is not comic relief. His mother would have been quite proud. She would have called him her very smart boy.
For the specifics of what Prepotente does that earns the fandom's respect, visit the spoiler zones. It's worth discovering in context.
Key relationships
Carl
Carl and Prepotente have the dynamic of two people who don't particularly like each other but respect each other's willingness to do insane things for survival.
Reluctant CollaboratorPrincess Donut
Prepotente insisted on partying with Carl and Donut for Floor 7 because he needed Donut's help with something. What he did with that help is one of the most impressive moments in the series.
