Nugget

 is a blink dog pup pet of Jester and Beau. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Nugget is a tiny little puppy. His coat has hints of calico elements, with light tan fur and bits of faintly darker brown stripes. He has oversized puppy paws that look soft and goofy. Signs of Nugget's fey nature can be seen in the blink dog's unnaturally angular limbs, and ears that are tall and pointed (though wide at the base). Nugget's eyes are a dark black, but turns to a bright blue just before teleporting.

Personality
When Nugget gets too excited, he teleports. As a puppy, Nugget is rambunctious. Jester had to begin training him right away to recognize the Mighty Nein as "home".

Background
It is unknown how Kestriv acquired this blink dog puppy. He and his troupe gave the puppy initial training to stay within its cage, otherwise it would be physically impossible to keep the teleporting fey creature in his menagerie.

Jester was immediately enamored with the cute little puppy, so she split the cost of 100 gp for the little blink dog with Beau. That way, they could have a pet together, and it could share their room whenever they roomed together.

When the Mighty Nein relaxed on the beach on their way to Nicodranas, Jester spent two hours training Nugget to blink on-command, after hearing the command word "poof".

Trivia

 * Since this blink dog is only a puppy, Nugget's speed (20 ft.) and other stats are lower than would be normal for his creature type.
