Goom was an adolescent banderbear and a crew member on the Edgedancer. Twig rescued him from Flabsweat's pet shop and took him aboard, where he served as Twig's second-in-command. After the Edgedancer exploded and the crew members were rocketed all over the Edge, Twig and Cowlquape saved him from the Wig-Wig Arena. When Twig, Cowlquape, Woodfish, and Goom found Riverrise during their journey, Twig and Cowlquape sky-fired themselves back to Sanctaphrax to unchain it and left Goom at Riverrise with Maugin and Woodfish. The water kept them healthy and young for decades.
