The Bopca are a race of gnome-like beings who staff the dungeon's saferooms, serving as proprietors of the rare havens where crawlers can rest between floors. First noted in Book 3 as part of the dungeon's background machinery, they take on a more visible commercial role in Book 5, where a Bopca runs a saferoom pub doubling as a Spanish restaurant and sells guild charters at a steep price. A Bopca also tends the counter of the exclusive Desperado Club, cementing the race as the dungeon's ubiquitous shopkeepers, embodying its strange fusion of sanctuary and relentless commerce.
Description
Bopca are identified as gnomes, but the text supplies no specific details about their height, build, coloring, faces, hair, eyes, clothing, or distinguishing features. Their role as saferoom proprietors is clear; their individual visual appearance is not. The text identifies Bopca as the proprietor of a saferoom pub and Spanish restaurant, but gives no reliable details about their face, coloring, body, or clothing. Their visual presence is best grounded in a working proprietor’s position behind a counter, with a practical, attentive manner. Avoid assigning a species, age, or specific costume not established by the text.
