Mules are funny animals, right? And Kruppe and Iskaral Pust are funny characters. So I'm not surprised that they both ride mules....

I'm pretty sure Pust's mule is no ordinary mule.

i don't think any of the three of the mules are just mules.

There was definately something going on with Pust's mule in his encounter with Kruppe. Not sure about Kruppe's.

I don't remember anything odd about Kruppes mule, either.

And I don't remember Bugg having a mule. If he had had a mule, at some point he would have cooked it, I am sure. :)

Well duh- Iskaral's mule is the physical manifestation of Shadowthrone, and Kruppe's mule is Quick Ben's soletaken form.

Nope. They pretend they're so poor they can't afford a mule. Although that's probably changed. ;)

You forgot to mention Trevlor's mule in Flower of Doom, which probably is where Erikson got all his other ideas from, too.

Wasn't Iskaral Pust's original mule
Spoiler
Aspalar's father?

Pust arrived riding the mule, Mappo and Icarium watched as the mule went into the dark passage in the cliff side below the Old Temple, and then Pust's servant (Aspalar's dad) came out and the mule was no longer in evidence.
