Trufflehunter

Trufflehunter was an old male talking badger who lived during the time of the Narnian Revolution and served Caspian X during his time as king of Narnia.

Narnian Revolution
He was one of the "Old Narnians" who saved the young Prince Caspian's life after he had hit his head on a branch during his escape from his uncle Miraz. Trufflehunter remains true to the spirit of Old Narnia, and is fond of repeating that beasts such as he do not forget the old ways. He was good friends with Trumpkin and Nikabrik.

Later life
After the war had ended and Caspian became king, Caspian knighted Trufflehunter as a member in the Order of the Lion. Trufflehunter was present when Aslan made a door in the air for the Telmarines to leave Narnia. Trufflehunter said goodbye to the Pevensies as they too left. It is unknown when Trufflehunter died, though it is known that he was still alive during the time of Caspian's voyage on the Dawn Treader. Trufflehunter is one of the faithful Narnians who entered Aslan's Country at the end of Narnia.

Nikabrik starts to turn back to save him, but Caspian stops him and runs back himself, Trufflehunter tells Caspian to take the horn, since he believes it is more important than he is. Caspian takes the horn, grabs Trufflehunter and runs back to Nikabrik, whom he tells to take Trufflehunter to safety. Trufflehunter also carries a little brown bag over his shoulder, and lives in a den in a tree.
