Taako

Taako Taaco is a player character controlled by Justin McElroy. He is a high-elf wizard with a chaotic good alignment. He is an acolyte of Oghma, a god of wizardly shit, with a focus of Transmutation. Taako is a "simple idiot wizard", a kleptomaniac, and is allergic to peanuts.

He is originally from New Elfington. Prior to joining up with Merle Highchurch and Magnus Burnsides he hosted a traveling cooking show, 'Sizzle It Up with Taako' until he accidentally transformed his oregano into poison (this was later retconned by Justin, who said that Taako transmuted elderberries into deadly nightshade).

His current title is 'Lead Reclaimer'.

Trivia:
Due to a magical accident with his first spell, everything he drinks turns into key-lime gogurt.

Taako was once killed by Magic Brian during a magical wizard duel in Wave Echo Cave.

In The "The Adventure Zone" Zone, Justin stated that Taako is gay.

While living in the dorms, Taako took the top bunk (above Magnus). Although he wears footie pajamas, Taako also sleeps in a sleeping sack due to his night terrors.

When undercover, he goes by the name 'Justin'.

Prior to their adventure in Goldcliff, Taako had never been in a garage before.

The animal that most characterizes his state of being is a mongoose.

His favorite candy is Ferrero Rocher.

Taako had an assistant on his old cooking show whose name was Sazed.

Taako avoids cooking for people he cares about because he is afraid of poisoning them, which he revealed to Angus in a Lunar Interlude.

Taako has died eight times without crossing to the astral plane, according to  Kravitz.

Although Taako has always believed he killed those people by accidentally transmuting elderberries into deadly nightshade berries, it was revealed in Episode 48 that Sazed put arsenic in the food.

Items Taako has stolen:
 * gold and silver pieces (taken from a dead gerblin) - ended up splitting them with the rest of the party
 * sack full of golden teeth (stolen from Yeemick's corpse, another gerblin)
 * magic boots of striding and springing (stolen from Thardin's corpse) - gave them to Magnus
 * 320 gold (stolen from a lock box)
 * enchanted feather duster (stolen from Killian)
 * bag of coins (stolen from Davenport)
