    Since the dawn of times stories have been told about terrible creatures, and about incredible heroes who rised to defeat them. They could be strong, powerful, clever, loyal, courageous, dedicated, intrepid, gallant, humble or all of this things and more. But there's one thing they all in common. They all had a companion. Be it a raven, eagle, bat, lion, snake, they all had one. Some even go as far as to say that it has been the same creature who has always followed those heroes, with different forms.

    Mist surrounds the truth about this creatures. Some believe they've incredible powers, and that they played a bigger role in the Heroes sucess then what people know. All the stories say that the Hero and his companion share a great connection, and that many companions even gave their life to save their Heroes. So one thing is certain. Those weren't common creatures. Something, some power, made them different from their kind.

    The last of this creatures to have been seen is Binkles the Frog. He was once the companion of Aidan, the eldest son of Leoric. He had followed him in many of his adventures, and the prince kept him always around.

    However, when Aidan ventured into the labyrith in the hope of slaying Diablo, he asked him to wait for him to return. And so he waited. For many years he waited, he heard stories of a dark wanderer who death followed wherever he'd go. Even though he didn't want to admit, deep down he knew that it was his beloved Hero, corrupted by the evil that was hiding in Tristram.
    But still, he waits, in the hope that one day he'll return... And there he'll be until the end of times.

    Hey i'm just reposting this to avoid the problems with because there was a reference to a movie. Also, i think i might have added too much lore, but it's just because i wanted to make it a believable character, something that could actually exist in the world of diablo.

    The Tale of Binkles The Frog.

    This is the story as it has been told by Deckard Cain.
    Stay a while and listen, if you want to hear more about the tragic story of Binkles the Frog, as he's known now. But that hasn't always been his name.
    Long ago, legends say that the forces of Heaven and Hell we're locked in an endless battle for the possesion of a mystical item. The fighting lasted for so long that some Angels and some Demons started wondering why they were fighting in the first place, and that lead to the rebellion of some of those Angels and Demons and to the creation of Sanctuary.
    That world was but a raw essence of what it's today. It was nothing but endless deserts, not a single living being except for the renegade Angels and Demons. But then something changed. From the matting of those beings, new life was born. They were the Nephalem, creatures of incredible power, which some legends believe to be the origin of humans. But then something happened which no one expected. The world started changing. What was once nothing but dead started filling wih life. The endless deserts turned into forests, with creatures of all shapes and forms. And so the Nephalem, and his creators lived in peace.
    But as so many good things, that wasn't meant to last. Inarius, the leader of the renegade Angels, saw the Nephalem as a thread, and wanted to exterminate them. Lilith, the leader of the renegade Demons saw them as a way of defeating the forces of Hell and Heaven, and putting an end to that bitter war. They both started fighting, and finally Inarius locked Lilith in The Void, a mysterious realm as far away from Sanctuary as possible.
    When Sanctuary was found by the Angels and the Demons, they both tried to convice the Nephalem to join their side. That lead to many fights between Hell and Heaven, aswell as the followers of both sides. Using greed and desire as weapons to control human's will, Hell quickly grew a large ammount of followers. Eventually, a group of them called The Black Chain grew so powerfull, that Heaven started to fear it would become a danger to their own safety.
    An angel named Jhiy, who was the Guardian of Truth, was then ordered by the Archangel Imperius to slaughter them all before they became a thread. However, Jhiy had watched those creatures, and he could not pretend he did not see the Good that filled their heart. When he refused to kill the creatures, Imperius decided to do it himself. Feeling pity for the creatures, Jhiy tryed to stop him, and he tryed to battle the Archangel. But his power was just no match. Imperius locked Jhiy in Sanctuary forever, and turned him into a creature that was despised by man kind. A frog.
    And so, he was forced to live among those he'd tried to protect, unable to help them, as he saw the world that was once green be corrupted by the endless forces of hell.
    And there he remains. And that's the tale of Binkles the Frog.
