Thumbnail for Critical Role IV episode 6. A split image having the effect of cracked plaster, with character art of Tyranny on the left and a photo of Whitney on the right. Tyranny is a bubblegum-pink-skinned demon with white hair and bangs, goat ears protruding to the sides of her head, and horns sticking straight up. The horns twist slightly, shifting from pink to black as they go up. She wears a teal dress with white ruffly edges and a coif covering her head. The dress has an image of the sun on the right shoulder and the phases of the moon across the chest. A piercing resembling a silver arrow runs through her right ear. She clasps her hands together in prayer, black fingertips visible, and looks into the distance with her yellow eyes. Whitney sits at the table, leaning forward intently. She rests her chin on her hands, listening. Red dots of makeup like freckles are scattered beneath her eyes, which are also ringed with red makeup.

Teor, 85

Teor from the shoulders up. A muscular lionfolk with gray and white fur. His mane is braided like a beard, held together with purple ties. A red scar runs down past his right yellow eye and mouth. He wears gold-trimmed plate armor over his chest. He stares sternly directly at the viewer.

HEY, there might be some SPOILERS under the thing:
