Tootega is the Inuit guide for David and Zanna's field trip to the Arctic in Fire Star. He speaks in broken English (something which Zanna makes fun of) and has a fleet of huskies. Tootega is capable of understanding dragontongue, which is actually an Inuit language, though he is surprised at Zanna's understanding and animalistic accent. He also knows a lot about Inuit beliefs and is highly superstitious, being suspicious and fearful about Zanna because of her mark and the way a raven (Gwilanna in a different form) follows her.
