Carrot considers himself a dwarf despite the fact that he is 6 ft 6 '' in his socks and built like a Greek god.

He thinks like a dwarf: in straight lines, simple but not stupid. He is honest, and loyal, and brave, and very literal minded.

So...that gave me an idea: Carrot Pilausson

Pilau's posthumously adopted son :P
Wow. As soon as I saw Carrot, I was thinking 'Corporal Carrot'. Who is dating a female werewolf, making up a very odd K-9 unit.
