First appearance: S2E9 — Bees — Rosa v Veronica · watch it on YouTube
Blissful Dwarf is one of The Acolytes, the citizens of the Void who pack the grandstands every week to watch champions fight to the death. He wasn’t a champion, just a voice in the crowd with strong opinions about how much chaos a Deathmatch needs. That enthusiasm made him memorable, and in the end it made him useful: when The Shadow King needed a soul to power The Box of Chaos, he picked Blissful Dwarf out of the crowd by name.
Story
S2E9 — Bees — Rosa v Veronica
Blissful Dwarf first made himself heard during the fight between Rosa and Veronica. Just before the break, he shouted down from the stands demanding chaos. As it turned out, there would be two rounds of chaos. Another Acolyte, Tigertron, was credited with a joke that night.
S4E5 — Toxicity — Toocher the Toxic v Sho Nin
By Season 4 the Shadow King ruled the arena, and he proved far less charming as a host. During the bout between Toocher the Toxic and Sho Nin, a comet streaked out of the sky and smashed into the ground. It was a chest burning with yellow and pink flames. The Shadow King rose and singled out one face in the stands: “You! Blissful Dwarf!”
An ethereal shadowy hand shot through the crowd, seized him, and ripped off his arms, legs and head. A second shadowy hand pulled a black soul out of the neck hole, and the Shadow King tossed it into the chest, which erupted in flame. “There, the Box of Chaos is primed,” he announced, explaining that a sacrifice to it would earn a magic item.
The newly fuelled box then crawled out, thoroughly confused. “Where am I?! What am I?!” it cried, before getting down to business and trading with Sho Nin. The Acolyte who once begged for chaos had, in the most literal way possible, become it.
Personality and Abilities
Not much is known about Blissful Dwarf beyond his volume and his tastes. He was a vocal fan who wanted the arena as wild as possible and wasn’t shy about yelling for it. He showed no powers of his own. His one notable quality, as far as the Shadow King was concerned, was a soul fit to prime the Box of Chaos.
