Something like that. It's a pack animal type character that can run very fast. Smile

hehe it prolly eats the seck for breakfast Smile

I'm not a major user of pack animals, so I never used the Gikk in LoH. Does it get a pile of stuff on its back when it's loaded, like the mule does? I tried to make a Pack Rat (and a Pack Ox) for Abstraction at one time, but it never worked right. If the Gikk does it, I may go revisit that idea.

sorry, ghastley - unfortunately the creature doesn't get the pack growth that the mule does..
- it has the same size inventory though, which is very useful in LOH
as there's so much loot about, and it's a pity to leave it behind..

- also, guards sometimes let pack animals go unchallenged, which is useful for getting the loot to some of the harder-to-reach stores,
I get my CHR to open doors and operate lifts first, by using an invisibilty spell..

- it's a clever game in that respect - lots of different ways to play it out..

IIRC, the guards will allow characters and pack animals to pass without attacking only if their alignment is the same as the town. Eg. The Gikk can't enter the Dark Elf town but it can enter the Light Elf or Valkerie town just fine (and for the undead mule things are reversed).

Pookah and Mantri give bears the thumbs-up..

will come to your aid, if you are attacked..
