Hotshot
The young delphine wizard who stumbles across Nita at the beginning of DW and subsequently brings her and Kit to the aid of the wounded S'reee.
Hotshot (like many dolphins) is something of a showoff, and S'reee is at first somewhat concerned about what effect the business of singing the part of the Wanderer in the Song of the Twelve is going to have on his ego. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to inflate it too much. Hotshot is also a tease, occasionally referring to Kit as "Minnow" even when he's wearing a sperm-whale whalesark -- potentially a dangerous business.
Like numerous other dolphins of his species (Tursiops truncatus), Hotshot is a member of a pod of three. He has not been referred to in the canon since his initial appearance, but is assumed to be working the waters of the Great South Bay while tending to family matters. ( DW)
