After Pretzels, these little men are probably my favorite creatures to feature in this book! I've seen hermit crabs once in my life and was instantly sold. S-tier animals. Just cutest things. These guys don't have an official name as of yet, they went by 'lawnmowers' in my files because they cut grassfields evenly with their scissors as if it were done by an actual lawnmower.

And our woman of the hour... (banana for scale) A DRAGON AT LAST!

Though I ended up making her a wee bit older in the final, she's still a sub-adult Thunderous, which is why Banana is larger than her despite being the smaller species. Ironically this is worse for Kyle and Pretzel, an adult might not even bother wasting energy on hunting a mouthful of calories like those two. But to a fledgling everything's interesting enough to try catch. Sort of like a kitten pouncing on everything that moves and having to investigate every new addition to its surroundings.

Except the kitten is the size of a small bus and is made out of knives and has the temperament of an angry corvid.
