Drizzt is a character From the R. A. Salvatore Forgotten Realms book series The Legend of Drizzt. The black panther is his guardian and friend, a magical creature of another plane, that can be summoned with a figurine shaped in her exact likeness. Quote from the book-This would be perhaps his hundreth dawn, and he knew well the sting the searing light would bring to his lavender eyes- eyes that had know only the underdark for more than four decades. He accepted the light as his purgatory, a pain necessary if he was to follow his chosen path, to become a creature of the surface world. The sun climbed higher and tears rolled out of the drow's squinting lavender eyes. He could see nothing beyond the blinding glare. To survive he had to adapt. His head pounded; sweat rolled into his eyes, heightening the sting. The sun continued its ascent and the drow could not endure. He rose and turned toward a small cave he had taken as his home, and he again put a hand absently on the panther figurine.
