Personality

Biography

Background

Caleb first summoned Frumpkin a few years prior to the beginning of the campaign. Frumpkin was created in the form of Caleb's previous family cat, which he was also named after. He served as Caleb's only friend for a few years before meeting Nott in prison. Caleb considers Frumpkin to be very important to him, and seems to view him as an emotional support at times.^{[citation needed]}

Recalling a previous adventure, Frumpkin had taken the form of an octopus and was used as a cushion to break Nott's fall out of a burning building.^{[citation needed]}

Chapter 9

Frumpkin disappeared in 9x06 due to a gnoll attack reducing his bird form's hit points to zero.^[14] 9x07 marked Frumpkin's first full episode absence. In the episode following this absence, Caleb resummoned Frumpkin in his cat form.^[15]

Frumpkin was kicked by a member of the Crownsguard while trying to get into Zadash's Tri-Spires district, and his hit points were once again reduced to zero.^[16]

Character Information

Abilities

As a familiar, Frumpkin can appear, disappear, and/or reappear at Caleb's whim (requires one action). Caleb can issue telepathic commands to Frumpkin. Caleb can transfer his senses to Frumpkin, though this renders Caleb's body temporarily blind and deaf. When Frumpkin loses all hit points or when Caleb wants to change Frumpkin's form, Caleb can cast Find Familiar again to bring Frumpkin back or change his form.
