Raffles, the mynah bird, is an odd little avian with glossy, black feathers and bright yellow markings beneath each eye. A resident of Tarah's Temple of Concordia and loyal to the Goddess of Harmony and Compassion, Raffles possesses the unique ability to mimic whatever an adventurer says in that adventurer's voice. If repeated often enough, new phrases can be taught to Raffles, who will learn and say them back to the room in the voice of his teacher. The longer the statement, however, the more difficult it is for him to pick it up, a testament to the half-sentences he sometimes squawks. Raffles can also recall past remarks if asked for a subject. For example, one could ask, "Raffles, could you say something about Neraeos?" and Raffles' response would be, in Tarah's voice, "Neraeos smells like dead fish!" Additionally, Raffles will happily repeat the things he's learned in response to the following question: "What's the good word, Raffles?"
