He's never been outside Oriental Town except on one field trip, and that one afternoon in Sternbild turned his world on its head. So maybe creatures like this are normal in...wherever this is. Besides, dogs are easy. People are less so. So he stays where he is on the ground, crouched amidst the splintered bits of wood and watching Frisk warily.
