Jimothy is a raccoon that lives in the Seattle area and has an unusual but not debilitating congenital defect that has made him something of a cryptid in the area. The condition Jimothy has is called "Short spine Syndrome" which it pretty to the point as it is just a shorter spine than usual. Recent footage of him has gone viral with the famous "What am i looking at" Tik-tok.
Edit: i meant to put "cryptid" in quotes because as someone points out, Jimothy is not fictional, and indeed exists. I mean it in the colloquial way, of 'rare and mysterious sight'
He/Him. Loooooooooong time Player. The Dark days of the THAC0 system are behind us.

Cool, thx, I was like, wtf because I never heard of this urban legend before yesterday, mostly because I live north of the border from where it's from. Like, way north. Not polar bear north, but more maple leaf capital. And yes, I mean I am from Canada 🇨🇦. The beating heart 💓 of it. So, as u might expect it flew over my head. But cool. I'd like to see more cryptids on dnd beyond. Stuff like Bigfoot, the Martian, the furies, and the infamous baba yaga, among other legends.
Except he’s not a cryptid. It’s an honest to goodness real life raccoon with a spinal deformity. Don’t worry according to experts he’s otherwise healthy and expected to live a long healthy life
Wow...Hasbro and WotC have lost their way. WTF is a rather stupid, very transient internet meme doing in D&D ?
What's next...Scooby Doo and the gang ?
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
RESPECTFULLY :
To the thin skinned facist MODS here at the disappointing D&DB...choke on a box of richards. You have to act respectable to get respect and you weasels are so far from it I can only laugh. Any criticism of the game, the site, the mods' skills seems to be greeted horribly :)
D&DB is weak sauce run by inbred gerbils...
D&D 5.5e is a junk game make for ADD kids who can barely read. Bring back RACES, SKILLS and put the WOKE back to sleep.
Did anyone get jimothy for dnd beyond? I have never heard of it before. Origins anyone?
Origin: reality
(Or at least social media)
jimothy is a disabled(?) raccoon from Seattle, WA USA. He's scrunched in-half and very cute.

D&D Beyond StaffJimothy is a true inspiration to us all.
Here’s a news story with a photo. In the story, there’s a link to an Instagram that kind of kicked everything off.
https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/meet-jimothy-seattles-internet-famous-raccoon/
I commend D&D Beyond team for quick upload and spreading awareness.
To be clear, this is a real raccoon that you can come and see in Seattle.

Seconded.

Ah yes, the very serious business of DND...with a magic gun that's literally a boomstick, Space Clowns & custard damage.
Jimothy doesn't exist in the physical game books or the many novels. Don't worry about this.

Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.
Yes, exactly. Nothing at all silly should be in D&D.
