Chop
Dog · he / him
Chop would like more lights, fewer mysterious tunnels and an explanation for that noise. A sturdy black-and-tan companion with a talent for badly timed farts, he can turn any stealth mission into a public ventilation inspection. He is brave enough to keep going, provided somebody brings the lantern.
“That noise was the machinery. Probably.”
