Need Pets to Match Names

So, I had the wild idea to name my new goblin hunter's pets all after characters from the Myth Adventures by Robert Asprin.

I'm looking for primarily non-mammalian (though I can get a few mammals for particular buffs).

Here are names and descriptions of the characters. Please suggest matches for them?

Skeeve, a youngish journeyman magician from the backwater dimension of Klah.

Aahz, a green, scaly "demon" (short for "dimension traveler") from the dimension of Perv, a world known for its foul-tempered reptilian humanoid inhabitants . Image

Gleep, Skeeve's excitable pet, a baby dragon with a one-word eponymous vocabulary ("Gleep!") that belies his incredible intellect. http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/serpentskinpurple.html ?

Massha, a woman of truly monumental girth with bright orange hair and a gaudy fashion sense; she begins the series as "only" an expert user of magical weapons and tools, but eventually apprentices herself to Skeeve. http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/tarantulaskinmagma.html maybe?

Guido and Nunzio, a pair of hulking and highly capable bodyguards attached to Skeeve as a favor from the interdimensional Mafia's light-in-the-loafers Fairy Godfather, Don Bruce. Guido is already taken by a friend for his Ravager, so I'm going to get a Ravager to match for him. http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/crawlervar4.html ?

Chumley, an enormous but quite gentle and erudite Troll whose professional persona is a monosyllabic muscle-for-hire called Big Crunch.
Tananda, a.k.a. Tanda, a professional assassin and Chumley's nymphish Trollop sister.

Bunny, Don Bruce's beautiful niece and Skeeve's assigned moll; she is an accomplished and intelligent accountant and is in love with Skeeve (though he does not know it). http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/lynxskinred.html

Based on your descriptions, two came to mind for me:

Image Image Aahz - Scaly dimensional traveller? Can only be a Warpstalker. :D

Y'know, I think that you're right that Aahz should be a warpie.

Both to bump this and to say that I've gotten one of the pets so far.

Bunny - Red Lynx. It only seemed fitting that the Fairy Godfather (in all senses of that word) should have a real lynx as a daughter.

Argh! I can't decide which ravager I want more when he gets up to the level!

I really like the last one (the green), but I also love the other two.

Which one will suit Nunzio better?

http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/silithi ... n_red.html maybe for Massha. As for Gleep i would recommend a chimera, i forget if they ever mention what color he is in the book...been to long since i've read them.

Gleep is purple, thus why I looked at the purple serpent.

I've been leveling Coingrip as Marks, but I might dual-spec him BM later to get certain pets.
