Perch

Perch was Berun's animal companion. A treeclaw lizard, it had bonded with the druid during his time amongst the yaqubi in the Khopet-Dag.

Description
Perch had a green and brown head covered in scales, with a small horn on top of the nose. It had a membrane between its legs that it could spread out in order to glide, and its tail could come off.

Powers
Treeclaw lizards were not especially strong, but they could be used as guardians, they could glide, and they were extremely nimble and fast.

History
Perch was already Berun's companion by Tarsakh 14 of. The lizard was instrumental to his initial distraction of Taaki, Sauk's arumwon, which eventually led to Berun's own capture. The lizard was later instrumental to his escape from Sauk's group. After Berun was separated from Lewan by a shambling mound, Perch was instrumental to nursing him back to health, by bringing him eggs to eat. The lizard was also instrumental to distracting the guards in the Fortress of the Old Man. Perch slew Taaki on the night of Tarsakh 25, after being swallowed whole. The lizard continued to fight afterwards, but its utility was limited against the Old Man of the Mountain. The lizard survived its master that night; Lewan carried it outside of the tower.
