Short Round

Short Round is a small child living in Yew during Ultima IV.

Description
Short Round would tell the Stranger that he worked for a man named "Jones" or "Indi." His employer, however, appeared to be away on a quest at that moment, leading the child to ask the hero as to their own adventures and if they were having fun with them. Should the adventurer answer affirmatively, Round would suggest writing to Lord British to tell him of their enjoyment. If the hero claimed not to be having fun, on the other hand, the child would offer his condolences and best wishes that their experience improve.

Trivia

 * Short Round (aka "Kennon Wong") is a popular character from the 1984 film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which had been released one year before Ultima IV.
 * When the Japanese developers ported Ultima IV to the Famicom/NES, Short Round's name was errouneously considered "given name" plus "family name", therefore the Japanese developers swapped them, as it is customary in that region. "Round Short" was the translitterated in a form similar to "Ra-nu-do-so-to". Later, when the game was localized into English, "Ra-nu-do-so-to" was shortened and rendered as "Ramus".
 * In the Nintendo port of Ultima IV, Short Round-Ramus is given a different function. A druid in town suggests to ask Ramus, instead of Talfourd, about the Rune of Justice. Then, Ramus relays the hero to Vorpal, as Talfourd originally did.
 * In the novelization of Ultima IV in Ultima: The Avatar Adventures, the mage lurking behind the group of poison fields is Swindrik (whose name is misspelled as Sendrick), rather than Virgil.
