Trinket

Trinket is a bear and animal companion to Vex'ahlia. He is voiced by Matthew Mercer.

Intro
"Vax took to the cities, stealing small trinkets and learning the ways of the thief, while Vex kept to the woods. She preferred the isolation. Always the keen observer, she learned to hunt and to track, to spy and to shoot. And through a series of fateful events, earned herself a companion in the form of a bear—her own stolen Trinket—to fight alongside her and protect her fiercely. Also, he is adorable—and gives expert massages."

Background
Vex and Trinket became companions when Vex accidentally trusted poachers too much and ended up being captured by them. Using her skills, she managed to escape from the poachers' cage and eliminate two of them. Vex found Trinket's mother, who was badly injured due to the poachers harvesting from her tortured but still-living body. Vex put the bear out of her misery before finding a young Trinket also in the cage. After rescuing the cub, they have since been close friends.

Trinket has proven to be very intelligent, able to easily understand the commands that are given to him.

Before the Stream
Trinket was nearly killed when Grog attempted to disarm a room full of traps by hitting the bear on his backside with the flat side of an axe, causing Trinket to charge straight into the traps, triggering all of them. Vex (and Laura) was very angry with the Grog (and Travis) afterwards.

Chapter 1
Trinket followed Vex and Vax around Kraghammer, inadvertently scaring several Carvers (city guards). He then accidentally ended up in a fight against the local tavern fighter Balgus before being polymorphed into a mouse and rescued.

Trinket was outfitted with armor plating that was harvested from a bulette by Grog and reforged by a dwarf blacksmith named Karen in Emon.

Skills
In, Vex taught Trinket a rolling attack that she named "Cannonball". As a trampling alternative to Multiattack, Trinket runs forward and curls into a ball in his segmented bulette armor, crashing through enemies in front of him that are his size or smaller, dealing bludgeoning damage to them all.
