miniature giant space hamster. Minsc can summon him with

Overview
Description
Boo is a small, fuzzy miniature giant space hamster (allegedly), and stalwart companion to Minsc. He has a strong sense of justice, unafraid of confronting evil and taking matters into his own tiny hands. Boo is observant, patient and wise, often using his knowledge to serve as a moral guide to Minsc.
Boo is somewhat wary of cats, and has a soft spot for Shadowheart.
Recruitment
Boo can only be recruited along with Minsc, and only if Jaheira joined the party at the end of Act Two. After Minsc is rescued in the Lower City Sewers, he will rush off to find Boo. The two can thereafter join the party.
History
See also: Minsc's backstory
Boo is the long time familiar and greater half of Minsc, ever since they met when Minsc was just a typical Rashemen berserker. Minsc was ambushed and injured, and was only just recovering when Boo appeared. Boo declared that Minsc had felt the "poking finger of justice", marking Minsc as its champion and Boo as his guide.
After the events of Shadows of Amn, both Boo and Minsc were ambushed by an unknown assailant and petrified in the middle of the marketplace in the Upper City in Baldur's Gate. They were released 80 years later, when Delina, a wild mage, accidentally struck the statue with a wild magic surge.
Minsc and Boo continued to travel together, but were separated for a time while Minsc was tricked into carrying out orders for the false 'Jaheira'. Boo was trapped in a wall in the Lower City Sewers by Absolute cultists, who feared his righteous gaze.
