# Taggi — Storm Over Warlock character guide

> Taggi in Storm Over Warlock by Andre Norton.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** the overexcited Taggi

**First appearance:** 0006-vii-unwelcome-guide

## Snapshot

One of two mutated wolverines stranded with Shann on Warlock, Taggi is the bolder, more excitable half of a pair bred to scout and fight alongside humans.

## Who they are

Taggi is a miniature bear-devil from Terra's northlands, one of the first wolverines ever tested on Warlock, and now one of only two of his kind left alive there. Excitable and demanding of Shann's attention, he and his companion Togi range ahead, catch skitterers, and dig out earth-wasp burrows with tireless curiosity. His keen senses and fierce loyalty make him far more than a pet—he is Shann's scout, guard, and last link to home.
