All of these new characters  RossMallo has been adopting are all part of a big, uncharted planet. A practically abandoned, uncultured planet at that. (since it was meant for a game I was making that will never see the light of day again)

Paku here's been on research detail, armed with little magic stones to make some of the wild critters he finds intelligent and capable of speech, so he can ask them what life is like, and how much they'd object to being eaten.

As you can see from his middle, it seems to be going well. Or he's blatantly ignoring the 'being eaten' comments from the local fauna.
