==Bio Info== '''Titles:''' Trufflehunter the Badger, Truffle-hunter '''Age:''' Unknown '''Species:''' Talking Badger '''Home:''' A comfortable cave in the ground in the forest, southwest of the Stone Table '''Physical Description:''' Trufflehunter looks like a normal badger, but larger, friendlier, and more intelligent '''First Appearance:''' ''Prince Caspian'', Ch. 5 (1951) ==Appearances== ===~ Prince Caspian ~ (1951)=== [[File:3786.jpg|left]]Trufflehunter lives in hiding with the other Old Narnians during [[Miraz]]'s reign. When [[Caspian]], the rightful king of Narnia, is knocked unconscious outside his den, Trufflehunter takes him in and cares for him. The Badger gives [[Caspian]] quite a shock when he awakens (he is the first Talking Beast that [[Caspian]] has ever seen). After listening to [[Caspian]]'s story, Trufflehunter immediately offers his allegiance and introduces [[Caspian]] to the other Old Narnians. He fights by [[Caspian]]'s side against [[Miraz]]'s army. Even after it appears that blowing Queen Susan's horn has done no good, Trufflehunter maintains his belief that the help would come as the legends promised. After the second Battle of Beruna, [[Caspian]] bestows the Knighthood of the Order of the Lion on Trufflehunter. ===~ The Last Battle ~ (1956)=== [[File:3774.jpg|left]]Trufflehunter is there to welcome the friends of Narnia at the final reunion. ==About Trufflehunter== Trufflehunter is a loyal believer in [[Aslan]], even though the Lion has not been seen in Narnia for over a thousand years. After [[Caspian]] blows Queen Susan's horn seeking help, many of the Old Narnians, even [[Doctor Cornelius]], begin to doubt that aid will come. But Trufflehunter never loses faith. "The help will come," he says. Minutes later, High King [[Peter Pevensie|Peter]] and King [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]] enter Aslan's How. "Best of badgers. You never doubted us all through," [[Peter Pevensie|Peter]] says. ==Quotes== *"I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on." (PC, Ch. 5) *"We don't forget. I believe in the High King [[Peter Pevensie|Peter]] and the rest that reigned at Cair Paravel, as firmly as I believe in [[Aslan]] himself." (PC, Ch. 5) *"We should not have [[Aslan]] for a friend if we brought in that rabble." (PC, Ch. 6) *"I stand by [[Aslan]]. Have patience, like us beasts. The help will come. It may be even now at the door." (PC, Ch. 12) ==Portrayals== *[[File:WDTrufflehunter.jpg|left]]Ken Stott (voice): Disney/Walden ''Prince Caspian'', 2008 Born: 1955 "I wanted to kind of expand the world [of Narnia] in terms of accents. You know, the Telmarines come from the Mediterranean. Ken Stott came to me and he has just this edge to his voice and yet he was able to pull of this wonderful ernestness and he's got this very rich quality to him. So the idea of a Scottish badger seemed very appropriate." — Director Andrew Adamson *Robert Meadwell (voice): Focus on the Family Radio Theater, 1999 – 2002 *[[File:BBCTrufflehunter.jpg|left]]Joanna David (voice), Julie Peters: BBC TV series, 1988 – 1990 *John Turner (voice): BBC Radio Tales of Narnia
