#athlok the horse

[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

HA, got y'all with this one >:]

The lie is that he is a vegetarian! Ari does eat meat, and quite enjoys it too! Won't go out of his way for meat, but it's a good source of nutrients, and wonderful in a lot of dishes (or even prepared on its own). Absolutely hates when people are being wasteful with it though.

He is allergic to citrus fruits, much to his dismay because they taste lovely, and it meant he had to find workarounds to not offend every noble who hosts dinner parties and serves food with lemon

Horses do in fact hate him 😔 Or well, maybe hate is a strong word lol (i couldn't edit the poll tho), but they certainly Do Not like him. They get nervous around him, he gets nervous around them, so it's all mutual. He stays away from the stables for both his and Master Dennet's sake. Athlok is the one exception, he is both the only horse Ari will mount and the ony horse who will let Ari mount lolol

Two Truths and a Lie

[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

Ssynec (m) - purebred mabari - Neira - very curious and open, gets restless fast when he's not stimulated enough so they work with him on the field and with the recruits a lot

Barkparwn (f) - purebred mabari - Kalagna - not as grumpy as she looks but will bite random strangers who try to touch her. Ali is her favourite

Mutton (m) - purebred mabari - Noya & Var'renan - lively and smart but needs so much attention and makes sure he gets it (especially from 'Renan)

-

Skippy (m) - mabari mix - Liam - gentle giant, a lil lazy sometimes but not when it comes to watch duty. Stays with Varric when Liam stays in the Fade

Gamma (f) - mabari mix - Lilian - as fierce as she looks, except if she likes you. Stays with Merrill once she gets older and can't join Lilian and Bela on adventures anymore

Bitch, Void, and Himbo - moggy cats - Adriel/Liam/ - gaggle of cats that Addie "accidentally" brought home and now they won't leave. Were named for their tempers as stand-ins but then the names stuck

-

Venom (f) - sharptail dracolisk - June - First time June saw a dracolisk and it was love at first sight. Actually very sweet if you know her favourite spots for scritches

Poison (m) - dracolisk (half sharptail half idk yet) - June - Venom's baby, June's pride and joy

Marshal (f) - (mixed?) mabari - June (/Cullen) - no thoughts, head empty. Still hasn't learned not to barrel people over as a greeting. Officially belongs to Cullen but they both take care of her.

Has a big litter of pups who don't have set designs or anything yet, but they all have names like 'Admiral' and 'Captain' (guess who named them lol)

Athlok (f) - fereldan forder - Ari - sturdy and trusty steed that Ari has gotten very attached to. One of the few mounts in Skyhold who are willing and able to carry a big ass Qunari reliably over long times

General Ironbeak (m) - messenger raven - one of Leli's ravens who latched on to Ari, fierce but reliable

Enansal (m) - hart - Taren - not tamed, but very loyal to Taren. has been his companion for a long time

-

non-conclusive list of my guys' pets n companions! couldn't be bothered to make new art lol but here's all of them together ~

[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

Some more protag pets! They're part of the family too after all <3

(sort of continuation of this)

Athlok ("laborer/mind/earth): Arari's main mount, a sturdy Fereldan Forder that he has grown rather fond of over time

Genral Ironbeak (ily if you get the name reference): One of Leliana's messenger ravens that has decided to latch on to Ari. A fierce little creature, but very reliable

Enesal ("blessing"): Taren's mount. Nursed him back to health after finding him injured, and have been a team ever since

Venom: The first dracolisk June ever saw. It was love at first sight. Much more friendly than she looks, but not a safe house pet by any means

Mutt(on): A lively fellow, very sociable but needs a lot of attention. Has made it his mission to keep demanding attention from Var'renan until he gets it

bonus still unnamed cats that Liam and Fenris adopt after Skippy passes away. They're technically Addie's though, she's the one who lured them home. They are also the only ones of her many pets that her parents acknowledge as actual pets
