Notes

• Blurg appears briefly in the Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons Module "Out of the Abyss." While still a member of the Society of Brilliance, he was originally an Orog, an uncommon subrace of Orc, rather than a Hobgoblin. Some of the dialogue related to him even reflects his original race - implying the hobgoblin model was originally a placeholder, but was eventually used for the full release. It is unknown as to why the Hobgoblin race was kept for Blurg.
• Blurg will teleport away after repeated pickpocket attempts.
