AS PROMISED! A big Sleight of Hand Horse Ref!

With the exception of Osito, these are all residents of the Rahmani ranch-and-apiary. 

Hamza was the unlikely result of an encounter between Osito and Luka, who met when their owners (Desert Ranger Anya Soto and Great Khan Rakshasamardini Jha) traveled briefly together. Luka was later left to enjoy retirement on the ranch, and shortly thereafter produced a surprise mule.

Hamza is serious and deliberate. He’s a thinking animal, quick to solve problems and slow to panic. Years of exposure to gunfire through hunting and ranger duties have desensitized him to the sound of combat. He’s dog aggressive, tolerating them only if they give him a respectful berth. He has a special hatred for coyotes and Legion Mongrel.

Miss Chief and Mayor Ham are former NCR military transport donkies. Miss Chief now serves as the solemn guardian-and-bouncer of the property, escorting all visitors to the ranch. If she deems someone too suspicious they’ll be viciously tailed and hee-hawed all the way off the ranch, possibly with a hole in their pants-seat. Mayor Ham is the official fruit-ripeness-tester, and honors his duties by eating fallen fruit in the orchard and checking the snacks in people’s back pockets for poison. He’s short and soft and very obliging. His wishbone tail is considered good luck.
