Biography[]
The Globglogabgalab was once a handsome, slender elf who was created by the Great Elohim. However, as a result of the Rat King's temptations, the Globglogabgalab became enamored by his evil books. Fearing retribution from the Scarlet Queen, the Globglogabgalab hid himself away in the titular house.
The Globglogabgalab is first mentioned by an anthropomorphic cello that Strawinsky encounters. Here, we learn that the Globglogabgalab gets nutrients from the books in the basement, but instead of reading them, he would instead go into the books (get "sucked into the books", for lack of a better term) to absorb their lessons and ideas. The large number of ideas he has ingested gradually transformed him into his fat, blobby state. Strawinsky meets the Globglogabgalab, who sings a song in regard to his addiction to the books in the basement. He also demonstrates his ability to shapeshift in this form by shifting into an eagle, then into a winged elephant (accidentally breaking a hole in the ceiling in the process). When Strawinsky's friends fall under the influence of the demonic books, Strawinsky insists that they call out to the Scarlet Queen for help, so the Globglogabgalab tries to find a place to hide from her perceived wrath.
The Scarlet Queen arrives, saves Strawinsky's friends, and destroys the books that were created by the Rat King. Realizing his belief that the Scarlet Queen would punish him for his disobedience, the Globglogabgalab asks her for forgiveness, which she grants.
It's implied that the Globglogabgalab quit his addiction to the books after this, but this is never confirmed.
