	Puppeteers ~~appear to~~ wear outfits that completely cover their forms with only their blank eyes being visible through the eye-holes in their masks. This concealing garb is mostly a black color with some blue and green, ~~possibly~~ to focus attention towards the more colorful puppets used by the puppeteer<!--I'm almost positive there's a term used to describe this type of outfit, which would probably make a real puppeteer dissolve into the background of the stage they were performing on, but I couldn't find such a term-->, namely a [[lump mage]] on their right arms and a [[slime]] on their left.

It also carries a puppet of a [[dracky]] and a [[golem]] that it uses when telling different stories. The puppeteer can also envelop its enemies in illusions and uses its slime puppet to perform punches.
