Etymologically I would say it might be a little wolf...
 
I doubt I have ever seen a wolverine...
 
 
An extraordinary easy riddle for now:
 
A relative of who is usually associated with the half of my favourite group.

wolverine and badger are both carnivores and not rodents; they are related to weasels. in fact one could say that wolverines are the largest weasels there are

Dean said in the previous page that the answer is not a rodent but a weasel.
 
Anyway the searching for the answer was useful, since I got acquanted with many rodents and weasels (in their English names, that's it...)
 
 
What about the new riddle, by the way?

He did, but it has nothing to do with the answer to the riddle, sorry...

okaaaaayyy... half of VdGG is GG... i.e Gentle Giant which has three brothers but I don't think that is the link, so... Gary Green's brother Jeff Green played with Elton Dean, so the answer is Soft Machine Tongue

Absolutely right way of thinking. You've done a half of work already... Clap  I meant Gentle Giant as a half of a group.
 
But you need first to find someone who is usually associated with GG...
 
(which means that Soft Machine is not the answer I'm waiting for...)

Yet another important step in guessing Thumbs%20Up
 
Pantagruel is indeed a someone who is usually associated with GG.
 
The only thing that is left is to find a relative of him...

the only names that come to my mind are Gargantua, Badabec and Panurge. but none of these are the names of bands, at least not that I know of. and no band named itself Rabelais either

Right track (route?).
 
Panurge and Rabelais aren't relatives of Pantagruel, though.

true, Panurge is just a friend, and Rabelais is just the author; I just wanted to cover all bases. I will have to reread it

Well done, Jean! ClapClapClap
 
Gargamel is the mother of Gargantua, the father of Pantagruel, consequently, she is the Pantagruel's grandmother.
 
 
I liked the way the last riddle was solved -- purely collective work Thumbs%20Up
 
It reminded me of the most intellectual of the TV games I ever seen, the so-called "What? Where? When?", which was quite popular in the Soviet Union and is still popular for the post-Soviet Russian-speaking audience. Unless other trivias and so on, in this game the group of six people (the longterm team) was given a question (a terribly difficult one, in most cases) and had to answer it in one minute. (Questions were sent by the TV-watchers; the game played till the score of 6 -- 6 right answers -- the team wins, 6 wrong answers -- the team loses). Some questions were on pure knowledge -- those were less interesting. But the majority of questions demanded constructing of logical chains -- being performed in a group work it was simply amazing!
 
End of nostalgic journey...
