Professor Yakkington (born in 1057 AE) is the companion of Nicholas Sandford the Traveler. He was found by Nicholas during a blizzard in Traveler's Vale, having been abandoned by his mother like most young Dolyaks perceived to be weak. After using each other for warmth in the blizzard, Yakkington has joined Nicholas in his travels across Tyria.

In their travels, Yakkington is the fighter of the pair, holding back the wildlife for Nick. He also has a good sense of smell which comes in handy when trying to find their path again should they get lost.

Since his travels, Yakkington has become pampered by Nicholas, and often becomes stubborn. He enjoys having daily sweets and eating Red Iris Flowers, but has a strong fear of snakes and darkness. Because of his fears, Nick often puts Enchanted Lodestones to act as lights at night when Yakkington sleeps. According to Nick, he is 6'8", weighs about a ton, and his lucky number is 5.

Dialogue[edit]

*Yakkington sniffs at your pockets a bit, and then nuzzles his head underneath your hand for a pet.*
