Tasslehoff Burrfoot

Tasslehoff is one of the main characters in the Dragonlance series of books.

A kender who arrived in Solace during his wanderlust and promptly settled himself in Flint Fireforge's house. Tasslehoff became a good friend of the Companions and aided in The War of the Lance.[1] Tas (as he is known by his friends) also played a large role in the War of Souls, frequently time traveling to various ages on wild adventures.

His character really starts to develop and mature on the death of his lifelong friend, Flint Fireforge, and then even more so during the Twins trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. He has to come to terms with the fact that what he does or does not do has an effect on those around him, while he's assisting Caramon Majere on his quest to stop his twin brother Raistlin from attaining godhood and dooming the world of Krynn.

Tasslehoff takes part in the Chaos War, dying while wounding Chaos himself to draw the God's blood for the Graygem. Seconds before being crushed by Chaos, Tasselhoff time-travels to a time 50 years later, to deliver the eulogy to Caramon's funeral and inadertently becomes the catalyst for the events detailed in the War of Souls, culminating in the return of the Gods, the Death of Takhisis and Paladine becoming mortal. After these events Tas is taken back in time to be crushed by Chaos. He is shown to be spared the pain and as only chicken feathers were found where his dead body was supposed to be. He is later shown to join Flint under the tree, near the Great Forge.
