“	We have a great deal of catching up to do. Eat that, wash your hands, and for the love of all that's dear, a shave. Then you can fill me in on what I've missed.	„
	— Tara, speaking to Gale

Tara is a Tressym, a cat-like Monstrosity NPC in Baldur's Gate 3. She is Gale's fluffy companion and assistant.

Act One

Tara first appears upon the first Long Rest of the game if Gale is chosen as a Player Character. She will note Gale's somewhat ill appearance, and express concern. She will also provide Gale with a magic item he can consume when he awakes, to prevent the Netherese Orb from detonating. She will remain within the Campsite.

Act Three

Tara appears later - regardless of the player character - on the roof of the Open Hand Temple in Rivington. She is involved in the quest Find the Missing Letters, and has unique dialogue when Gale is in the party.

Notable Items Sold

If spoken to with Gale in the party during the quest Find the Missing Letters, Tara appears on various rooftops in Lower City, selling one magical item each time. After buying this item and taking a Long Rest, you can find Tara on another rooftop, selling a new item. Tara only accepts Fish and/or magical items in exchange for her items.

• On the roof of the Devil's Fee X: -29 Y: 6: Hat of the Sharp Caster
• On the roof of Highberry's Home X: 1 Y: -36: Slinging Shoes

Trivia

• Tressyms have the ability to detect poisons, as well as see Invisibility. Presumably, Tara has these traits as well.
• Tressyms usually are unable to speak. Tara, however, is capable of speech, likely through external magical means.
• Tara affectionately refers to Gale as "the most expensive pet in Waterdeep", and later states that they both belong to each other, suggesting that she sees Gale as her pet human.
• She is friends with Gale's mother and visits her while Gale is absent.
• Gale conjured Tara when he was ten years old, after his parents refused to get him a kitten.
• Tara refuses to stop using Gale's surname, referring to his as "Mr. Dekarios".
• Tara apparently nags Gale about being single.
• Gale asked 'Halaster' - presumably Halaster Blackcloak - to take care of Tara in his absence.
