I think we can all agree that the RAW is vague. You're suggesting that intent was to ignore the past history of the shop that's always had a real stuffed beholder in the window (despite using the name), and that they further intended that that Xanthar would be able to see the street from the point of view of one specific plush toy? And that the whole store would be named after that one specific plush toy and not the taxidermy beholder that was there previously? but the book says: " The shop is named after the stuffed beholder in the window - a fixture that is actually a magical sensor, through which Xanathar can peer whenever it wishes", and elsewhere says, "Old Xoblob Shop and the street in front of it, as seen through the eyes of the stuffed beholder that hangs in the shop’s display window"
It can be a rainbow-farting owlbear if you'd like. "ĭude, you can make it whatever you want. The stuffed beholder is hollow, and conceals a hired wizard who can fire a wand of paralyzation out of its mouth to take customers by surprise. " The shop is not a good place for thieves or the belligerent. It's your game, you can do what you want in it.Įdit* To add further, Volo's Guide to Waterdeep on page 178 has the following: That being said, I think it's fine if players (and DMs) decide that it is instead a "plushie". The authors of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist probably assumed everyone was familiar with older material, and therefore never specified further that it is meant to be a taxidermist's work, rather than a stuffed toy. The accompanying image also portrays the Beholder as being a large, stuffed (non-plushie) dead beholder hanging inside the shop. Xoblob is all he could pronounce of its name." The shop is named for the beholder, killed by the proprietor in single combat long ago. From drow sculptures to the huge, eyeless, stuffed beholder that overhangs everything, the shop is crammed with an untidy assortment of blades, treasure maps, coils of rope hundreds of feet long, statuettes of forgotten more. " The Old Xoblob Shop is a curio shop little known outside Waterdeep, but famous in the city for its trophies of battle, adventuring bands, and exotic, faraway places.
