Tock became a watchdog in "The Phantom Tollbooth" because of his innate nature and sense of duty to warn people of dangers and keep them safe. In the story, he is given to Milo as a gift because of his loyalty, strong sense of time, and dedication to his role as a watchdog.

Humbug accompanies Milo on his journey in "The Phantom Tollbooth" because he is a boastful character who tends to exaggerate his own importance. He is looking for opportunities to show off and take credit for any success. Despite his flaws, Humbug proves to be a helpful companion in certain situations during Milo's adventure.
Tock was named by his parents after his brother was named Tick. They thought (before Tick was born) that Tick would have a ticking sound. It turned out that he had a tocking sound. They rushed to the City Hall (or I think it is) to change the name. It was too late. They didn't want that to happen again, so when they had their second child, they named him Tock, thinking, he also had a tocking sound. He didn't. He had a ticking sound. A complete difference of Tick! They, again rushed to City Hall to change Tock's name. They, again, was too late. They were so upset, they decided to never have a child again. Therefore, that is the reason why Tock was named Tock.
The Senses Taker is a strange creature in "The Phantom Tollbooth" who steals people's sense of sight, taste, touch, sound, and smell. He lives in the Valley of Sound, and takes away the senses of people who enter his territory. He represents the idea of losing touch with the world and becoming disconnected from our surroundings.
