Crambon

Crambon is a cat, and during the Typhoon Devil's attack the animal injures one of its paws, the very wound that first draws Asa Mitaka toward it. Beyond this the series offers little detail of its coloring or markings.

As a pet, Crambon shows the everyday manner of a house cat rather than any defined character, but the animal matters enormously to Asa, becoming the one piece of family she has left after the disaster.

When the Typhoon Devil strikes, Crambon hurts its paw, and Asa rushes to help the creature only to stumble and fall. Her mother halts to lift her back up, and that pause costs the woman her life, a loss that devastates Asa. Orphaned, Asa takes the cat in, names it Crambon, and the two are placed together in a home for children whose families were killed by devils.

There a caretaker, who claimed to have lost her own mother to the same Typhoon Devil, persuades Asa to surrender Crambon to a supposedly happier household. The story proves a lie: another child later reveals that Crambon was found drowned in a river. The caretaker had drowned the animal herself, resentful that Asa still possessed someone she could call family.
