Character · Book 8, A Parade of Horribles

Old Shuck and Onikuma

Two biological mounts saved when their riders die — the Jugglers' great black wolf-dog, a giant puppy who needs no jockey, and the Wild Hunt's flea-ridden bear — taken by Donut with Dwight's garage keys 'for the parade' and ridden by Samantha and Rosetta.
