Gonk

The swamp yak snorts a greeting at Bianca and gets a mount-specific pet carrier of his own.

Story so far

Gonk travels with Dong Quixote toward the second Saferoom entrance on Carl's orders. Carl remarks that they really need to get Dong a Pet Carrier if he wants to keep the thing.

When Prepotente lands, Gonk gives a snort and approaches the hellspawn familiar Bianca, who clicks and chitters back at the yak. Prepotente then hands Dong a spare mount-specific carrier for him.

Appearance

A shaggy swamp yak large enough to require a mount-specific carrier.

Role

Dong Quixote's adopted swamp yak.

Relationships

Dong Quixote — His keeper, who wants to hold on to him.
