A level-3 changeling juvenile in Hump Town whose village the gnomes bombed and whom a camel named Flint raises to charge a gold coin for anything: the salvaged FarSeerer on his roof, a look at the castle, the gold coin Carl promised every child who went to the shelter.

Skarn in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade
A changeling child Carl thinks of, with Bonnie and Ruby, when the plan means a horde of undead chasing the changelings (ch. 56); sitting with the other kids, half of them turned into deformed human children by compression sickness, and telling a smaller bear not to be mean (ch. 63). Louis wants him to moor the Twister to the tower (ch. 70), and he and Bonnie fight from the air with Bonnie's ballista system (ch. 72).
