The detail that they resist easy categorization, sometimes panthers, sometimes serpents, seldom seen clearly, is doing a lot of work. It keeps the creature genuinely unsettling in a way that a clean description wouldn't. Walter Two Horses is a fantastic character too; the chair conformed to him over decades is the kind of detail that builds a person in one line.

I forgot about this Grant-Smith character. Can someone point me to where he was introduced? He seems annoying, is he a second gamma?

Helpful Scrubb is a good thing, Gamma using smarts to help.

Hungry and panther-like? If they pick up sound and vibration above, the new holes give good access. Roping off the area makes them range farther and hungrier. Nice setup.

Hungry sea-panthers. See? Anybody would be hungry and cranky if they woke up with that amount of ice on their doorstep.
