Characteristics

The bag o' laughs is blue burlap bag with a cartoonish face that consists of two eyes, rosy cheeks, and a fanged mouth with tongue lolling out. Bag o' laughs are known for casting debilitating magic instead of directly attacking and thus are most dangerous when encountered along with more ferocious monsters that take advantage of their enfeebling abilities.
