Kiwi the Parrot

Kiwi is a fancy boar-summoning parrot.

Kiwi appeared in Alderoot with his butler, Seb Astion.

Both of them are personal guests of Mayor Barlow and have lodgings in the mayor’s house. Barlow particularly enjoys the bird’s company.

Kiwi was part of the original Team Smort and acts as the party’s scout thanks to his flight and acute senses. Kiwi’s sharp instincts allow the party to get the drop on nearly any foe.

Kiwi is a fragile creature that must be on the lookout for strong breezes or infections but light on his feet, a dexterous flyer and has an uncanny aim.

Has limited proficiency in the Common language (which he often interjects with squaks, chirps and whistles) and needs to resort to charades to express himself properly. Some characters are mildly annoyed by his antics (notably Fyrevine). On the other hand, Kiwi reads people and situations fairly well, and is an invaluable scout.

In battle Kiwi offers helpful nudges and summons a boar totem spirit that strengthens his allies. His chirps and sqaks give allies the strength to carry on. He casts his spells by focusing on his favorite chew toy.

Kiwi can speak with other animals and repair small objects.

Kiwi saved Kkaedes from the brink of death on their first expedition together by healing him with his magical chirps.

Kiwi is destined to haunt the PCs as a ghost nemesis in case of his death.
