Handful of Riffraff

Best way to prevent a fight is to scare the challenger senseless. Most megafauna think like animals, and most megafauna back off when Küp barks. Of course, as of recent, half the parasites on her rounds have been psychic. Psychic objects, psychic agents, psychic waste. Usually she gives up what it wants and beats it dead before it can escape. It’s rote but worth the work. Thousand fights can teach you a lot over time. She’s learned the riffraff aren’t here by accident. They’re minions made to carry out the many unnoticed tasks of the Ecosystem, degrading some plants to grow others, opening paths by the mountains to close them by the rivers, shaping the forest to be healthy. Just a certain kind of healthy, and not one that includes the Mythtuf. For Küp, the only way to live in an Ecosystem adapting you out of it is to fight first.
