# Nobs — The Land That Time Forgot character guide

> Nobs in The Land That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** faithful old Nobs, poor Nobs, old Nobs, the wily Nobs

**First appearance:** 0001-i

## Snapshot

Bowen's loyal dog, who learned on Caprona that discretion is the better part of valor and that raw meat beats a kennel any day.

## Who they are

Nobs has been Bowen's companion since before the submarine, and Caspak has remade him into something closer to a wolf than a pet. He dives headfirst into streams to escape hyenas, feasts on the kills of every hunt, and stays close when the ape-men steal Lys from the fort. His presence is a small thread of home in a world where nothing else is familiar.
