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:
“To coöperate in the highest as well as the lowest sense, means to get our living together. I heard it proposed lately that two young men should travel together over the world, the one without money, earning his means as he went, before the mast and behind the plow, the other carrying a bill of exchange in his pocket. It was easy to see that they could not long be companions or coöperate, since one would not operate at all. They would part at the first interesting crisis in their adventures.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
