The Brothers Booboo

The Brothers Booboo are the animals that live within the Bag of Tricks owned by Erak. They are a weasel, a giant rat, two badgers (one of whom is giant), a boar, a panther, a dire wolf, and a giant elk.

Appearance
The Brothers Booboo appear as ordinary members of their respective species when outside of the Bag of Tricks. When initially being taken from the Bag, they appear as small fuzzy objects.

Personality
Each of the Brothers Booboo presumably has a distinct personality, although they have not all been met by the Champions Valoris. They are all loyal to whoever possesses their Bag. The badger refers to this person, Erak at the time, as "the boss." The Brothers seem to remain conscious while inside the bag and be able to interact with each other, as Badger Booboo noted that Elk Booboo would prefer grass to eat while the rest of the brotherhood preferred meat.

Background
The Brothers Booboo's Bag of Tricks was left abandoned in the ruins of Earthbreaker Hall, along with a number of other magical items. While they likely belonged to the dwarves of the Hall, it is possible they were brought later by the invading drow or an unfortunate adventurer. Badger Booboo noted that it had been "a long time" since they last had a boss.

Welcome to Falas
After repelling the drow occupying Earthbreaker Hall, the Champions Valoris found a trove of treasure, including a number of magical items. Erak picked up the Bag of Tricks and, after some experimenting, managed to summon the Bag's badger. Erak cast Speak with Animals to ask him what was going on. The badger asked if he was the new boss and explained that there were seven others who lived inside the Bag. Erak asked the badger if they had any dietary preferences, and the badger explained that most of them would be happy with meat chunks, although one would prefer grass. Erak also asked the badger his name, only to learn it had none. However, he gave Erak permission to select names for him and his brethern. Erak tentatively named the badger Booboo, and Booboo accompanied the party for the rest of the day, assisting them in keeping watch and fleeing with them from a troll attack.

Malino're Arc
When attempting to track and confront Blighthorn, Erak pulled three fuzzy objects from the Bag of Tricks, which became Boar Booboo, Rat Booboo, and Elk Booboo, all tentative names. While they accompanied the party in their search for the dragon, Erak told them to flee the scene and avoid combat when he was actually found.

Erak once again summoned three animals when the party stopped to rest in the hags' lair: Giant Badger Booboo, Boar Booboo, and Elk Booboo. Unfortunately, Elk Booboo was too large for the space, taking up approximately half the room where the Champions Valoris rested. He was deeply uncomfortable, and Erak apologized, feeding him two non-meat rations to try to make it up. With Elk Booboo unable to fit through the doors to confront the hags, Erak told him and his summoned brothers to wait behind, in hopes that the badger and boar could somewhat comfort the elk. Upon rescuing the elves that they could and leaving the cave, the party had no choice but to leave Elk Booboo behind until he was naturally unsummoned. They apologized for abandoning him in such an uncomfortable place, while the rescued elves were both awed and confused by his presence.

When Erak parted ways with the Champions Valoris, the Brothers Booboo accompanied him within their Bag.

Goals
The Brothers Booboo seem to have no overarching goals of their own, but serve the owner of the Bag of Tricks faithfully.

Abilities
When summoned, each of the Brothers Booboo has the abilities common to its species. They seemingly cannot be killed, as they are simply unsummoned and returned to the Bag of Tricks when they run out of hit points. They are likewise unsummoned at the next dawn after their summoning. The wielder of the Bag of Tricks can summon up to three of the Brothers per day, but which Brother is summoned is purely up to chance. The Brothers also seem to have some sense of time while they stay inside the Bag and may be able to eat food that is placed within it.

The Brothers Booboo and Erak
The Brothers Booboo quickly proved loyal to Erak once he became the owner of their Bag. For his part, Erak was initially overwhelmed by suddenly being "the boss" and having responsibility for eight new animal companions. Considering how low-maintenance the Brothers are, though, it is likely that their partnership is continuing swimmingly.
