Big Blue Feud Adventure

Emma runs over to help Roxin get back up on his feet. Roxin also feels a little strange when he gets back on his feet. His back is warm and feels... heavy. Emma spins Roxin around to brush the dirt off his back when she sees his back is covered in fur... and in the middle of that fur is a big brown eye blinking back at her.

It is not an angry eye. It looks scared, or a little worried. It swivels in its socket, looking frantically for something. It looks like a sort of striped octopus with long wispy fur. One of its furry tentacles shoots up in to the air grasping for one of the branches overhead. But, they are too far away. So, it clings to Roxin's back, trying to hide from Emma.

After the third or fourth spin, the furry tentacles lose their grip on Roxin and the creature slides off his back and on to the ground. It lounds with a very soft thud, and a little whimper. The creature slowly covers it's one eye with a tentacle, trying to hide. It moves VERY slowly.

When the creature hears Luna's voice, it seems to relax a little bit. Then, it looks up into the trees above their heads. There, hanging and swinging from the branches of the surrounding trees, are a dozen more of the furry creatures. They are much larger than the one that Roxin fell on. These must be the adults. Swinging menacingly from the trees, their fur stands on end, bristling and rattling. There is a deep rumbling sound coming from their massive, sack-like heads.

As Emma asks her question aloud, she feels a faint vibration coming from inside her pack.

Emma pulls the tablet out to see that it had responded to her question.

Snufflepus

Woodland creature, similar to a marine octopus, that is covered in long soft feathers. It has no suction cups. It can not go in the water. It is very slow on land but moves with graceful speed through tree branches by swinging on it's long tentacled arms; able to slingshot itself across 30-50 foot gaps between trees. It is an herbivore. It sleeps during the day, and most nights. It is usually only ever seen during the Time between Times, Dawn and Dusk.

Snufflepi are very shy creatures. However, once befriended, they make life long companions. They are extremely intelligent. They do not have mouths, per se, but take in food through a sort of osmosis/absorption. They communicate using micro-vibrations, rapidly shaking their feathers and producing sonic waves ranging from deep rumbling tones to high-pitched percussive chirps.

Abilities:
Constrict (+2 Tough)
Sling Shot (+4 Fast)
Shy (-2 Smart)

Quirks:
No Agua: Snufflepi won't go near water, for any reason.
Singing Swing: If one is lucky enough to befriend a Snufflepus, they can expect to sit on the Snuffepus like a suspended swinging chair, and ride through the forest at breath-taking speed. All it costs is a handful of their favorite treat: Bough Seeds.

As Roxin starts to lift off the ground, the adult Snufflpi immediately scatter, rattling their feathery fur, or furry feathers, in extreme agitation. They do not like having a flying dinosaur in the air around them, especially when one of their young is stuck on the ground. The little Snufflpus buries its eye under a feathery tentacle and makes a high-pitch whistle sound.

One of the adults swings mightily from a nearby branch and lands, with a thud, on the ground next to the little cephalopod. This must be its mother.
