Polly the Fruitbat
Polly is the pet and boon companion of Kalien. He got her as a consequence of losing a bet when he came home for his mother's funeral. Polly is a fairly typical fruitbat physically, and enjoys riding around on Kalien's left shoulder.
She is , however, uncommonly intelligent, and usually serves as an alarm system while Kalien sleeps, her sensitive ears more than compensating for his tendency to sleep like a rock. She then wakes him by biting at the webbing between his thumb and forefinger. Not a perfect system, but it works. He can also get her to carry messages, although it always takes some explaining, and a lot of arm-waving and vague directional pointing. Mostly, she serves as an extremely spoiled, flying pet.
