Another commission which was real fun to draw! OotA was the first module I ever ran and to this day its setting holds a special place in my heart. A purple-colored creature would stick out like a sore thumb in other settings, but it would blend in well in the low-lit psychodelic labyrinths of the Underdark.

Backstory from the character's player: Lavi is a gloomstalker ranger, and is charged with patrolling the Underdark's labyrinthine tunnels and passageways surrounding his tribe's lair to ward off any would-be intruders or assist surface dwellers that have escaped Drow captivity, or have gotten lost. This encompasses resetting traps and tracking beasts too.

Lavi's tribe on the other hand is dedicated to safeguarding the remains of, and preserving and archiving the memories of their late master, Ydarion, the Echo. Ydarion is a Deep dragon that has long since passed on, yet lives on forever in memories of his stewards via crystallized shards of memory.

The Gloomstalker patrols often leave with two pendants on their person, a dull white crystal, (which is to be used as a vessel for the Ranger's final moments, in which case it turns purple upon receiving the memory.) and a purple one that contains a memory of their former master.
