Gopher

Gopher (ガファー, Gafaa) is an Exceed and the very first companion of Knave Dhahaka, and therefore is a major character in Fairy Tail: Dream. Originally born in Edolas (specifically Extalia) along with the rest of his race, Gopher was sent to Earth Land as an egg, where he arrived in the country of Minstrel, and was eventually found by a young Knave, who hatched him from his egg, and gave him his name (since him emerging from his egg was similar to a gopher burrowing out of a hole in the ground). The two became fast friends, and received similar influences as the young Dragon Slayer, leading to them both choosing similarly styled outfits and the like. The two became as close as brothers, with Knave teaching Gopher all that he knew about the world, as well as attempting to teach him the various fighting tricks that he had learned from Ragias, though the Exceed had a tougher time grasping it than Knave did. Still, the two formed a strong bond, and when Knave left the mountains to travel the world, Gopher went with him.

Gopher has since become an important member of Knave's group, acting as a semi-logical voice alongside Stormy, though he tends to go along with Knave's various antics whenever his best friend asks it of him. In addition, he has managed to discover his own magic, Aera, allowing him to also act as powerful support for Knave, capable of lifting up the Dragon Slayer from the back and allowing him to battle while in the air.

He continues to travel with his friends to this day, joining them in their various adventures and helping his team whenever he can.
