Tony the Anteater

A live anteater the size of a fat house-cat, sold "in a vial" (a comedy giant bottle, like a ship-in-a-bottle) by the Ponterford druid Horibus as the third of his "antitoxin, antivenom, anteater" upsell. Poured out, shaken awake, and named by Thalia for the first sound he made — "Tony!" — he is a faithful party pet who hunts ants single-mindedly, ignores everything that isn't an ant, and whips non-ants (including Renforth) with his long tongue. A purely comic companion, brandishable "to scare ants away."

Session 38 (debut)

• Bought from Horibus (10 gold) and named by Thalia; immediately begins eating ants and resenting anything left on the ground that isn't one.
• A second anteater, bought by Warmaiden Yngraf on a bet, is promptly eaten by Salamandine ("no refunds").
• Carried along on the Guardian hunt; thrives in the ant-rich wild, and stands up — uselessly — when Thalia asks "someone who has the answer, please stand up."
