Dork the Ox was a small ox purchased by Vex'ahlia.[1] Apparently, Keyleth spoke to Dork using Speak with Animals in a conversation that did not go well.[2] Vox Machina ultimately put Dork into their bag of holding, barely fitting Dork into it.[3] When later trying to retrieve Dork the Ox, they learned that living creatures do not survive within the confines of the bag of holding.[4] No pieces of Dork remained in the bag by "Masquerade" (1x99), with Vox Machina having "burned through that ages ago".[5]

Dork has been mentioned out of character when the cast considers placing a creature into a bag of holding: in Campaign 2, when it was suggested that the Mighty Nein store Vess DeRogna's dead body there, should they get it to fit;[6] and in Campaign 3, after Bells Hells placed another living creature, a Reilora under the effects of Polymorph, into the bag.[7]

A wooden statuette representing Dork was among the decorations on the Talks Machina set.[4] Matthew Mercer received a Dork the Ox from Laura as a Christmas gift during the Winter's Crest home game session.[8]
