Messremb was a Soletaken, who took the form of a great brown bear. He was described as being as huge as a noble-born's carriage. In his human form he was no more than five feet tall, nearly hairless, and thin to the point of emaciation. He was narrow-faced and shovel-toothed, and his small garnet eyes gleamed within a nest of laugh lines. Mappo Runt knew him long ago when both lived in the pine forests of the Trell north of Nemil.
