A rodent-like creature, about the size of a mid-sized housecat, stands next to the tall halfling. It seems like almost any other animal, except the fact that it is not only wearing clothes, but what appears to be appropriately-sized armor, as well as various packs and pouches. Attached to its back via a belt slung over one shoulder is what appears to be a rather large cyllinder, like those used to hold scrolls of parchment.
After the Halfling's whispers, the creature turns its head from side to side, looking at its peers. Then, looking back up at the Halfling, the creature unexpectedly whispers back, "I don't quite follow." The creature then stares back at the Magus, and says out loud, "I don't fail. I make sure all of my creations, inventions and constructs alike, perform to peak specifications. You can rest assured that this team will trounce the competition. I guarantee it!"
There's something irrepressibly cute about his spirited, yet high-pitched, squeaky voice.
