Is it me or does Boo look more like a chipmunk than a squirrel?

    I know Minsc is an idiot, but any Ranger should know the difference!

    FYI, Boo is a hamster, not a squirrel.

    Isn't Boo a hamster?

    Edit: Oops, Tal beat me to it.

    Well, Klorox never actually said that Boo was a squirrel (merely strongly implied it). Perhaps he is right- Boo may look more like a chipmunk than a squirrel, yet is neither.

    Minsc is not an idiot!

    Besides, no one said that Miniature Giant Space Hamsters had to look exactly like the rodents we're used to... :p

    Check out Minsc's inventory...click on Boo and it says although Minsc says it is a miniature giant space hamster, it looks like a normal hamster to you...

    I know what the inventory says, but the drawing there never really screamed hamster to me... more like unidentified rodent species... That could be just me.

    Still, I am perfectly aware that Boo is a hamster (miniature giant space one :p ).

    LMFAO @ myself. I was actually thinking last night, after knocking back a few and hearing Minsc say "Boo is getting squirrely" that Boo was a squirrel.

    I started laughing at myself on the drive into work when I realized my mistake. :D LOL!

    Boo is a rat if you get to play him that way. No hamster has that long a tail.

    Minsc? :p

    BTW, judging from a certain banter in BGTutu, (I think it's part of BG1NPC) Boo isn't actually a rodent at all. Elminster seemed to know what, or rather who he is...
    That banter also makes him an acquaintance of Mystra of all people...

    Mr. Boo refuses to comment on any megalomaniacal allusions the Wizard Elmister may or may not have said at the entrance to Baldur's Gate, 1st Tenday, Mirtyl, FR 1320. His relationship with Miss Mystra is a private matter, and any potential deals within the FR Pantheon are strictly business affairs which should be discussed with his attorney. No press release will be forthcoming.

    Ahh, but in UB, Mr. Boo clearly said, and I quote, "squeak". Without question, this negates any expectation of privacy that Mr. Boo may have otherwise had, and thus full disclosure on the part of Mr. Boo is not only a reasonable demand, but obligatory.
