Name: Hi-chee
Age: 20
Species: Goat Gorilla
Appearance: A larger member of his species, his shoulders are 9 feet high. His fur is a brownish red, with wide green eyes. Both of his antlers and his teeth are sharp, and his ears are slightly longer than usual, even for a goat gorilla. His mane is an even darker red. He has a few beads in his goatee, and his tail as well. His right ear is frayed, a scar from an old fight.
Personality: Hi-chee loves to be active, he is able to travel quickly over long distances while carrying a heavy load, Hi-chee is known for his protective nature over his traveling companions, often growling at anyone that poses a threat. He also has a habit of taking creatures he likes and placing them on his head.
Background: Captured as a infant by bandits, Hi-chee was forced to fight against hog monkeys and pygmy pumas for their entertainment. Taral was able to reach out to him, and with the mental urgings, Hi-chee escaped his cage, released the other gladiatorial animals, and carried Taral away. They have travelled together ever since, and now that he's fully grown, he carries Taral around on his back wherever they go.
Name: Thuroth
Age: 28
Species: Armadillo Wolf
Appearance: Thuroth has a long scar in the armored plates on her back, where a water bender had struck her as a youth. The plates go from the tip of her nose all the way down to her tail, covering her shoulders but not her hips. Her fur is a light grey color, and the plates are black with a blue sheen. Her eyes are golden
Personality: Thuroth has a fear of large bodies of water, and will curl up into a ball when confronted. She is very energetic, loving to run and jump, as well as dig for roots and small animals. She enjoys snuggling in the cold nights with Hi-chee, but prefers to run instead of ride.
Background: Separated from her pack while hunting, a water bender "defended" himself, cutting a grove in her back plate. She fled in the opposite direction, and in fear ran for days. Exhausted, she was discovered by Taral, who nursed her back to health. Now, she runs with a new pack.
Name: Rassin
Age: 8
Species: Viper Bat
Appearance: With a wingspan of four feet and a body length of five feet, Rassin is an impressive sight in flight. Bright red scales cover his body, with black diamonds running down the spine. The mouth can swallow things twice the size of his head, and his fangs are sharp and full of venom. His large ears lay flat against his head when not in use, and he can use the rattle on his tail to aid in echolocation.
Personality: Rassin often drapes himself around Taral's neck like a scarf, and is often mistaken as such. Taral keeps him well fed and that keeps Rassin tame. However, at the flick of the wrist, Rassin will fly off his neck and attack Taral's target. Mostly concerned with food and shelter, Taral provides Rassin with plenty.
Background: Living in a cave, a Badgemole bent the cave, isolating him from the colony. Flying along in the dark, Rassin was attracted to the smell of Taral's campfire, and the elephant rat on the fire. Over the course of a week, Rassin followed the band, and eventually became domesticated.
