That creature protected you. Why?
I don't know. I'm going home. Do you know how far Clawtooth Mountain is?
Forrest Woodbush
Good idea. We want him.
Why?
Forrest Woodbush
Because it's terrifying out here. He can protect me, like my friends. [describing his pets] This is Fury. He protects me from the creatures that crawl in the night. This is Destructor. She protects me from mosquitoes. This is Dreamcrusher. He protects me from having unrealistic goals. And this is Debbie. [silence; Debbie tweets at Forrest] Yes, we need him. What is his name?
A name? I don't know.
Forrest Woodbush
Hmm, then I will meditate on this... [hums for a moment] I name him, I keep him! [hums again] Killer! [Spot ignores him; hums again] Beast! [hums again] Murderer! [hums again]
Uh, Grubby!

Forrest Woodbush
He is named. You clearly are connected. Good for you. On your path to Clawtooth Mountain, that creature will keep you safe. Don't ever lose him.
