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.
 * In the Master System port of Ultima IV (where most character names were omitted and dialogue was significantly modified), Short Round was replaced by Henry Jones, who is the father of Henry Junior "Indiana" Jones in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
 * When the Japanese developers remade Ultima IV for 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 remake of Ultima IV, Short Round-Ramus is given a different function. A Druid (NPC) 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.
