When I had Minsc in my party, he started talking about all the butt-kicking stuff and suggested I'd better get a hamster just like him. Then he started wondering if I would prefer having an ice weasel.
Unfortunately, he didn't tell me where I could get one...
I don't know if he only says such things to good aligned rangers, but if you really want a miniature giant space hamster for your familliar, he would be the man to see

The last arrow of Legolas kindled in the air as it flew,
and plunged burning into the heart of a great wolf-chieftain.
All the others fled. -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
