Hortle is an old ghoul who lives alone on a mountain. Many years ago, he invented a world famous sauce, known as "Hortle's World Famous 72-Hour Stewed Sauce".
Today, a retired Hortle still cooks the sauce in his mountain cave home. He supplies the faraway village below with a large shipment of sauce once per season.
In return, the village sends up whatever worldly possessions he needs to live a modest yet comfortable life.
