What kind of "Friendly" encounters could happen in the Far Realms?

[TheSword]

So some ideas of interesting encounters could be...

A curious denizen, who appears terrifying but is actually trying to learn. It wants to know who or what these travelers are. Imagine an inability to communicate combined with something completely new.

A denizen may want to leave this place for easier times. Maybe they are a renegade, maybe they are at war with another far realm creature and are losing. That want to understand the way the PCs arrived or how they plan on leaving.

Perhaps a denizen is afflicted by the equivilent of some kind of parasite. It’s debilitating the denizen in some way and needs help dealing with these.

@TheSword all of those are great.

Parasite:
A demon afflicted with Holy germs (hey, it's the Far Realm and weirdness is normal) might sneeze and fill the square in front of it with Radiant damage.

Flumphs are the far realmsish non hostile creature that comes to mind first.

The Pathfinder goddess of dreams whose true form is a giant space butterflyish thing is often described as a good mythos god.

Gith on a raid tracking down mindflayers who escaped to the far realms. Most likely hostile, but possibly not hostile interactions.

The Great Race has little need to be hostile in general.

Yeah but they're so...silly.

Oh I like this.

What about another adventuring party? There could be another group helping the PCs try to escape or even there to bring some great evil plan together. This doesn't mean that they cannot get along with the PCs for trade and rest.

There could be a mage or even the previous adventuring party that lives in a portable tower or hut. Perhaps it can move locations in the mega-dungeon. Maybe it connects to the material plane and allows the PCs to return, but the patron is hiding that secret or preventing the PCs from returning until they do something.

Why not just have a tea party??

For non-hostile far realms encounters the thing that immediately comes to mind for me is the sentient dimension from Futurama 2: The Beast With A Billion Backs

Or.. a parasite is afflicted by some sort of unfortunate host, which is debilitating the parasite and it needs help dealing with it. The parasite should be pleasantly erudite, and the whole things push both the "Squick" button and the "But, they seem like a good person" button.

Your choice as to whether the parasite eats them after anyway.

Um, I'm guessing something involving tentacles?
