Dook is a green ferret from The Dreamlands, a curious and surreal realm beyond reality. Often quiet and passive, he acts as both a bystander and accidental catalyst in many of the show’s events. Dook’s unique perspective on the world — shaped by dream logic and cosmic detachment — makes him both endearing and unsettling.
He is a keeper of the silver key to one of the gates to the Dreamlands. As such, he sometimes needs to tend to matters pertaining to entities passing between the realms.
Personality
- Naive & Kind: Dook assumes the best in everyone and everything.
- Dreamlike Detachment: He responds to violence, pain, or danger with mild confusion, as though he's dreaming.
- Curious but Slow-Reacting: He’s often interested in things at the wrong time, leading to misaligned or awkward help.
- Cannot cause harm: Much like in cartoons, nobody can get harmed around Dook. Whether through action or inaction, none of his blundering chaos can cause real harm.
Abilities
- Indestructible: Being a figment of his own imagination, Dook can’t be truly hurt. Injuries confuse him more than harm him.
- Speaks R'Lyehan: Dook speaks R'Lyehan natively and may revert to it when surprised or agitated. If he curses, he'll do so in R'Lyehan.
- Video Game Logic: He will attempt practical tasks with simplified video game methods such as hitting a machine with a wrench to repair it or simply putting raw ingredients in a pan to make a cake. It has a tendency to work.
- Lucid Perception: Occasionally, Dook speaks cryptic truths or exhibits insight into dreamlike or metaphysical aspects of reality.
- Non-Euclidian: Not inherently Euclidian, Dook may sometimes unwittingly treat objects that are far away as nearby but small, walk behind objects that are actually very far away, etc.
Appearance
- Fur: Bright green, chosen because most living things on Earth are green and he was lazy.
- Eyes: Yellow
- Nose: Pink
- Clothing: Nondescript. Sometimes wears accessories that don't quite make sense.
- Notable Trait: Always friendly, even when he shouldn’t be.
Relationships
- Flops — Dook’s best friend and housemate. Dook follows Flops’ impulsive ideas and tries to help in his own strange way. He often comforts Flops with hot cocoa when things go wrong.
- Bunnyrack O'Bunny — Shares an abstract rapport with Bunnyrack, often communicating in ways others don’t understand.
- Vivian Wease & Odie Yotie — Dook doesn’t fully understand their tension but is sensitive to the cactus in Vivian’s office, which he finds symbolically important.
Trivia
- Dook stopped “not existing” sometime before the Carboniferous period because he got bored.
- He chose to be green because he liked ferns.
- He doesn’t do “sex or violence.”
- Dook lives with Flops in Sala City and tends to fixate on mundane things like toast or ceiling tiles.
- He works as a keeper for the local Silver Gate between the Dreamlands and the mundane world. Sometimes he disappears on errands related to this.
