Biography
Volatilius is known simply as "Volly" through most of the books. Greylings are very fast fliers and are thus used as couriers and lookouts. Volly and James deliver mail to all the British Coverts, and even brought news to Laurence when he was on the Allegiance Transport. Volatilius was bred for great speed, while the result was achieved, homever in the breeding process, it seemed Volly lost much in terms of intelligence. Volly is therefore described as "simple." But he is very affectionate towards his captain.
James boasted that Volly can keep an hour aloft with beating his wings only once in good weather. Volly particularly likes cows.
