Ohgma ("OG-muh")
"Curiosity killed the kittecura."
Who is Ohgma?
He carries the book that caused him to become cursed strapped to his back to protect it, keep it to himself, and to prevent others from reading it. He has many stitches across his body becuse he's occasionally attacked by effects of the curse that have caused him to... hurt himself... several times and he's had to replace the "parts". His tail is haunted, Ohgma doesn't control it. It does whatever it wants and has been known to get Ohgma into some trouble on occasion. His cloak is also somewhat prehensile. Underneath the wrappings and cloak, he has a giant mouth caused by the chomp chomp mutation (the only mutation which he obtained on purpose) because his main mouth tends to ooze black liquid and there is also an eye on his tongue, making it very difficult to eat with. He also bald, due to the large amounts of stress caused by his predicament, Nelacar's stalking, and his proximity to the whispering of the grimoire.
He wasn't always this creepy, and was once the son of a court mage in a small hamlet. His father died shortly before tragedy struck the small town so as a small ribbon he left on a journey to find himself through his grief. This led him to Nelacar, and through Nelacar he found The Book. He always was an avid reader, and the temptation of obtaining knowledge that could reverse the damage done to his hometown was too much to resist. Everyone makes mistakes, now and then.
Where can I interact with Ohgma?
Ohgma can be very difficult to find. He is constantly attempting to escape the grasp of Nelacar and to reverse his curse. That being said, he is rarely successful at eluding Nelacar for long. The quickest way to find Ohgma is to find his much louder and more malicous other half, if you dare.

Name Etymology
"Oghma Infinium" is the name of a powerful and ancient tome of knowledge from the "Elder Scrolls" series of video games. The tome was written by a wizard by the name of Xarxes and became a daedric artifact belonging to Hermaeus Mora, the daedric prince of knowledge and memory.
History
Ohgma was redesigned by me on January 3rd, 2018. I kept him for quite a while, but due to some mental and financial health issues I decided to leave Deviantart and sell my closed species designs. Ohgma bounced around for a while, and five years later I was talking to my SO about Bagbeans, Griffia, and closed species in general. I looked around toyhou.se to see if I could find Ohgma again, and lo and behold he was UFT! I took that as a sign, and bought him back in December 2023. He will not be leaving me again, whether I stay or go.
Relationships
Childhood Pet
Honey Butter is the only one who's been with Ohgma through everything. He will follow Ohgma to the ends of the earth, creature comforts be damned. Ohgma takes great comfort in holding Honey Butter in his arms, and he is the only thing that can bring Ohgma back to lucidity when he has an attack.
Younger Twin Brother
Ohgma desperately wants to keep him safe. It's not worth trying to find him while Nelacar is still on his tail-- his little brother is so sweet and kind and putting him in danger would be the biggest sin Ohgma had ever committed. But without his brother, he's starting to forget the difference between right and wrong. What does it matter when everything is broken anyways?
