Doedrop is a miniscule and cowardly creature that is entirely averse to conflict. Its small stature, dull teeth and lack of offensive maneuvers make it especially vulnerable in toe-to-toe battles. Doedrop is most at home in the water, spending most of its life partially submerged. Resisting evolution of any kind, it is theorised that centuries ago a mutation in Doedrop is where all aquatic life began. When on land, glands on Doedrop’s back emit dew drops as a comforting mechanism. These glands can also defensively shed huge amounts of water in an attempt to escape adversarial creatures.
