Just to underline that I'm qualified to comment on the story above:
My laptop is named Zach III, my antho story started with I am a creature and I'm a wolf. Carola isn't judgmental, she only adopted scales.
This was brilliant, put a smile on my face, and I don't think badly about my habit of giving the numerous variations of my documents names that only make sense to me anymore. Thank you.
After reading this story, I became curious about the hellbender and learned about some of its other vernacular names: lasagna lizard, snot otter, mud devil. Maybe they inspire you to a spin-off.
I knew I would love this story even though you ranted about waterfalls and having to read about pheromones and so on. I guess that was part of the story's evolution.
