Raunip

Raunip is a character from The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths graphic novel trilogy and its narrator.
The adopted son of Aughra, Raunip came from a meteor from another world. Ever loyal to his mother, Raunip was skeptical of the arrival of the UrSkeks and was very uncomfortable with them hiding the crystal behind castle walls away from Thra's native people. His discovery of the UrSkeks having been exiles and heretics of their own world drove his distrust further. He would eventually witness the cracking of the crystal and the creation of the Skeksis and Mystics. In the aftermath, he and Aughra traveled deep within Thra to collect shards of the crystal. 
When returning to the surface, they found that underground creatures called the Makrak had been displaced by earthquakes created during the Great Conjunction and began attacking Gelfling villages out of confusion. When the Wanderer suggested to relocate the Makraks to the Fields of Fire as a home similar to their original one, Raunip decided to lead the expedition there.
