Poll was Menolly's third bronze fire lizard and her tenth overall.
According to Menolly, Poll's egg was originally intended to be given to a child of Lord Holder Groghe of Fort Hold, but it began hatching as Menolly was passing it to them, which caused her to inadvertently Impress it instead. She stated that Groghe never held the incident against her.
Menolly referred to Poll's originally intended companion as «addle-headed» and a «brat» and said that a bronze would have been wasted on the child, who was subsequently given an egg that hatched into a green fire lizard.
