'''Tara''' is a Tressym, a cat-like [[Monstrosity]], and Gale's fluffy companion and assistant.

== Overview ==
=== Background ===
Gale conjured Tara when he was ten years old, after his parents refused to give him a kitten. Tara and Gale's mom eventually became friends, with Tara visiting her after Gale left home. Tara affectionately refers to Gale as "the most expensive pet in Waterdeep", and later states that they both belong to each other.

== Related Quests ==
* [[The Wizard of Waterdeep]]
* [[Find the Missing Letters]]

== Involvement ==
===Act One===
Tara first appears upon the first [[Long Rest]] of the game if Gale is chosen as [[origin]]. She will note Gale's somewhat ill appearance, and express concern. She will also provide Gale with a magic item, the {{SmRarityItem|Ring of Evasion}}, that he can consume when he awakes, to prevent the Netherese Orb from detonating. She will remain within the [[Campsite]].

===Act Three===
Tara appears later - regardless of the player character - on the roof of the [[Open Hand Temple]] in [[Rivington]]. She is involved in the quest [[Find the Missing Letters]], and has unique dialogue when Gale is in the party. You can also get {{SmRarityItem|Ring of Blink}} here, whether you have Gale in your party or not.

==Notable items sold==
If spoken to with Gale in the party during the quest [[Find the Missing Letters]], Tara appears on various rooftops in [[Lower City]], selling one magical item each time. After buying this item and taking a Long Rest, you can find Tara on another rooftop, selling a new item. Tara only accepts {{SmRarityItem|Fish}} and/or magical items in exchange for her items. Tara can also be pickpocketed for the item at each location.

* {{MdRarityItem|Hat of the Sharp Caster}} – on the roof of the [[Devil's Fee]] {{coords|-29|6}}.
* {{MdRarityItem|Slinging Shoes}} – on the roof of [[Highberry's Home]] {{coords|1|-36}}.

==Notable loot==
* {{MdRarityItem|Tressym Collar}}

==Notes==
{{notebegin}}
* Tressyms usually are unable to speak. Tara, however, is capable of speech, likely through external magical means.
* Tara refuses to stop using Gale's surname, referring to him as "Mr. Dekarios".
* Tara nags Gale about being single.
* Gale asked "Halaster" - presumably {{FRWiki|Halaster Blackcloak|Halaster}} - to take care of Tara in his absence
