Mdogo the honey badger is the first animal most people meet when they get to Tame Camp and the only one with a full command of human speech. It's easy to think of him as a mascot but he's more of the camp guide, and while he sometimes sleeps in a padded bed in the office he's no pet.

He was leading lovers (and meals) to his massive mistress long before Tame Camp existed. He learned to speak to humans expressively so he could get a few of them into his predatory mate's hungry maw or sex.

These days he tends to set up less dangerous liaisons. Mostly.

So if you just want to "visit" with an animal, he's the one to talk to. He knows everybody...including the animals who will happily eat you if that's what you want.
