- Territorial, protective, and distrustful, but occasionally shows unexpected empathy.

- He keeps his distance from anything alive.  

- His true motivation remains hidden.

Tempest drew what will be the only Chibi versions of our characters. I didn’t think a skull could look so adorable. 😂 As for the second mutant, his face is intentionally unclear. There will be a much clearer image of this character in future chapters. We're just adding a bit of silly mystery.

See you on Friday with the prologue. Thanks for reading.
