Stinky was Strix's pet cranium rat. Stinky had a high intelligence and the power to communicate telepathically with other pets, such as Waffles and Juniper.
He got separated from the group in Ironslag and almost got killed by a hell hound.[1] Stinky was injured when the vonindod collapsed. Diath rescued Stinky from the wreckage.[2]
Stinky died in Barovia during the 50 years Strix spent there, and was cremated.[3] Strix carries his ashes in a little ceramic pot.
