quipper

One-liner delivery person

A quipper is someone who makes quips—quick, clever remarks or witty comebacks.

The term often implies a talent for sharp, spontaneous humor: He was the office quipper, always ready with a one-liner.

Less commonly, quipper appears in fantasy gaming contexts as a small, aggressive fish.
