Meatball

One of three large mastiff-type tracking hounds sent by Constable Barnaby Plum to locate the party. Grappled by Gorlog (who was attempting to hug it) and calmed after being fed a leg of lamb. Named 'Meatball' by Gorlog. The parting moment was emotionally affecting for Skrit. The three dogs departed via a different route than they arrived, suggesting they were native to the King's Forest and had local knowledge of the woods.
