Boo would be a type of familiar to Minsc. Basically, it is a small animal, pseudo-dragon, imp, etc... (depending on your allignment) that acts as a companion. Each familiar has a special ability but most importantly the mage or sorcerer gains half of the familiar's hit points.

If you get a familiar it would be wise to keep it stored in your backpack. Otherwise they tend to get killed easily (resulting in the loss of the extra hit points and 1 point of con).
Hope this helps.
