In human folklore, witches are known to employ familiars: small animal companions--usually shapeshifters of some sort--who assist in both magical and mundane tasks. While this is true, in The Autumnlands, familiars are quite common, working for not only witches but vampires, ghouls, the fey folk--really, anyone of a need and means to acquire one. This little bat fellow has obviously been in service to his elderly vampire master for many years. (Believe it or not, that is relaxed and informal body language for a vampire.) Yet one cannot help but wonder if the bat is merely fetching his master's fangs like a good familiar, or if he has perhaps exceeded his bounds and been caught wearing them instead.
