Rumfuss is a boar Great Beast. He is about a carriage tall with long, deadly tusks, and a extremely thick hide. In the second series, he is summoned as a spirit animal by Dawson Trunswick.
Overview
Rumfuss is very large with very thick skin. It was told by Cabaro in the Tales of the Great Beasts that he was the least liked Great Beast and he had very few charms. Even Jhi herself struggled to find many positive attributes of Rumfuss; she eventually managed to say that Rumfuss stayed true to hims and had a good heart. Soon Rumfuss continued to add on that he ate more than his own weight, leveled forests and bashed stone walls. It was shared by Essix that she had seldom seen the boar happy and few things amused him as much as arguments.
