Greed-consumed miser: Squelch

Greed-consumed miser, frantic, hissing, and fractured

Prompt: Masculine, elderly, small-statured creature. High-pitched, raspy, and wet vocal texture with a distinctive glottal rattle. Rapid, frantic pace shifting between whimpering vulnerability and sharp, aggressive obsession. Uses sibilant 's' sounds and self-referential dialogue. High emotional tension, portraying a fractured psyche and deep-seated addiction.

Script: No, no, keep your big hands back, precious little shine is mine, mine; it sings to us in the dark, yes it does, and if you try to take it, you'll hear me hiss before I bite.
