Companions
Thaw keeps a pet Ratbird, which was housing in the barge he buys from Glaviel Glynte, owner of the Tarry-vine tavern.
Hubble is an albino banderbear. He belonged to Thaw Daggerslash and was the only crew member of Thaw Daggerslash's Mireraider. Hubble was only a cub at the time, and was badly mistreated. After Thaw Daggerslash's death he joined Captain Cloud Wolf's crew. In Stormchaser, when the quartermaster attacks Cloud Wolf, Hubble left the helm and injured Mugbutt and saved Cloud Wolf from the quartermaster by breaking his back. When the crew abandon the ship Hubble sustained internal injuries,although these injuries didn't reveal themselves in the Twilight Woods. When the remainder of the crew ventured out onto the Mire, it was then that his injuries took their toll. Hubble died in Twig's arms in Stormchaser.

Famous quotes containing the word companions:
“Dear fellow-artist, why so free
With every sort of company,
With every Jack and Jill?
Choose your companions from the best;
Who draws a bucket with the rest
Soon topples down the hill.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“My only companions were the mice, which came to pick up the crumbs that had been left in those scraps of paper; still, as everywhere, pensioners on man, and not unwisely improving this elevated tract for their habitation. They nibbled what was for them; I nibbled what was for me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The poet is no tender slip of fairy stock, who requires peculiar institutions and edicts for his defense, but the toughest son of earth and of Heaven, and by his greater strength and endurance his fainting companions will recognize the God in him. It is the worshipers of beauty, after all, who have done the real pioneer work of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
