Pikel Bouldershoulder

Pikel Bouldershoulder is a dwarven druid and brother of Ivan Bouldershoulder.

Appearance
Pikel has a dyed green beard with a middle parting that is drawn back over his ears to join his long hair at his back in a braid. He wears sandals instead of the traditional boots most dwarves wear, and long green robes with large long sleeves.

Personality
Although Pikel has the ability to talk to animals, he has difficulty being understood by anyone of intelligent tongues and he tends to speak in a language of noises and exclamations rather than formulating complete sentences. Only his brother Ivan can really understand what he is trying to say.

Abilities
As a druid, Pikel can converse with or befriend animals. He is able to predict the weather, and uses a special form of transportation in which he can open a portal between two trees in different locations, allowing uneven travel via the root network.

Background
Pikel has befriended a number of creatures including a great eagle, two bald-headed vultures, a family of weasels, three chickens, a black bear and a donkey named Bobo.
