Scratch was the dog of [[Gomwick]], a courier who worked for Sword Coast Couriers. The pair were making a delivery to Baldur's Gate when a group of gnolls attacked them. Gomwick forced Scratch to flee, but he himself died in the attack. Scratch later returned to find his master and, thinking him merely injured, waited patiently by his side for him to wake. | Scratch was the dog of [[Gomwick]], a courier who worked for Sword Coast Couriers.

After he has been at camp for a while, Scratch will bring the player character an item called {{SmRarityItem|Scratch's Ball}}. Succeeding in a [[Strength]], [[Sleight of Hand]], or [[Animal Handling]] check, or by using {{SAI|Speak with Animals}}, will allow the player character to take the ball. While Scratch's Ball is in someone's inventory, they may summon Scratch as a [[Find_Familiar#Scratch|Familiar]]. Scratch can find a variety of hidden items, and is also the only familiar capable of the {{SAI|Help}} action except those from {{SAI|Ranger's Companion}}. Scratch can remove {{Cond|Burning}}, {{Cond|Downed}}, {{Cond|Ensnared}}, {{Cond|Entangled}}, {{Cond|Enwebbed}}, {{Cond|Gaping Wounds}}, {{Cond|Sleeping}}, {{Cond|Off Balance}}, or {{Cond|Prone}} from an ally. If his ball is lost in some way other than throwing it into a chasm, Scratch will have a spare one at camp. | After he has been at camp for a while, Scratch will bring the player character an item called {{SmRarityItem|Scratch's Ball}}.

If the {{CharLink|Owlbear Cub}} is recruited, one night, during a long rest, sounds of distress will be heard coming from the cub and Scratch. Hurrying towards the sound, the player character will find Scratch and the owlbear lying together. Without animal speech, the player character can pass an Animal Handling check to discover that the two have become friends. Otherwise, Scratch will explain that he is comforting the cub, after he had a nightmare of his time in the goblin camp. Scratch will share that he used to sleep under Gomwick's coat as a pup, and that he thinks Gomwick would be happy that he is travelling with his new master – a little surprised at himself for calling the player character as such. | If the {{CharLink|Owlbear Cub}} is recruited, one night, during a long rest, sounds of distress will be heard coming from the cub and Scratch.

In [[Rivington]], the party can visit [[Sword Coast Couriers]], the messenger service that employed Gomwick and Scratch. The dog kennels adjoined to the building are overseen by the abusive {{CharLink|Angry Mar'hyah}} and her put-upon assistant {{CharLink|Dringo|Oyster Boy Dringo}}. Talking to Mar'hyah presents the option of summoning Scratch, after which Mar'hyah will attempt to take the dog back. | In [[Rivington]], the party can visit [[Sword Coast Couriers]], the messenger service that employed Gomwick and Scratch.
