Tasslehoff Kalin Burrfoot (nicknamed Tas) is a fictional character from the Dragonlance universe.
Tas was born in Kendermore, the nephew of Uncle Trapspringer, a hero of kender folklore. While travelling during his Wanderlust, Tas ended up in Solace with one of Flint Fireforge's metalworking pieces in his pouches. Tanis Half-Elven caught the kender, and the three became friends for the remainder of their lives. Always fearless and able to look on the bright side of any situation, Tas was never at a loss for telling a good story to anyone who might listen.
Tas was killed in the battle with Chaos during the Second Cataclysm, and is honored at the Last Heroes' Tomb. However, he went forward in time to help win the War of Souls before coming back to die. Coincidentally, many kender now claim to have an "Uncle Tas".
His soul later came back in the War of the Souls but once again like most of the Heros of the Lance, he went into the river of souls and found peace with his friends.
