Dinjer was the son of Queen Amballa, the ruler of the pygmy shrew colony that lived on the cliffs north of Fort Marshank. He was extremely spoiled and constantly harassed Martin the Warrior, Grumm, and Laterose of Noonvale while they were the shrews' captives. When Dinjer was captured by a gannet, Martin saved him and was freed by the Queen in gratitude.
After the trio was liberated, Dinjer was punished for the first time because he was mad and thought Martin had tried to injure him during the rescue. His cries were described as a "beautiful sound" by Grumm due to the misery Dinjer had caused for the three travelers.
Not to be confused with Dinger.
