I'll try make Rock's character a little more developed and introduce him. Also, when I say he leaps, because he has no legs, he's really just jumping with his arms.

Rock crouched in the trees, sniffing the air intently, waiting for a foreign smell to enter his sensitive nostrils, alert his stomach that finally something would be coming. But it was his small ears that alerted him, somebody below was wandering along what was to the victim a vague path, but to Rock, a hunting trail. This was his favourite spot. The track was surrounded by beautiful plants and mostly harmless animals, a relatively safe track, making it fairly inviting to anyone was who wandering along. Of course, they didn't know Rock, a tree bound Big Bro Slig, free from glukkon control, would be lurking around the corner feeling very hungry. The whistling creature became visible as it came onto Rock's section of the path, Rock, not caring what kind of creature it was, leapt out of the tree before he could spoil his cover, which he often did, which was why he was so hungry.
He stuck out his arm on the way down, ready to snap the creatures neck with the muscled limb. Unfortunately, the creature ducked and Rock hit the ground clumsily as the creature started to run away. It was a small mudokon, fairly young, squeaking in fright at its ordeal. It didn't dare turn around to confront its attacker, just kept on running. Rock pulled himself up, disappointed with his effort, trying to think of a new killing method. A trap perhaps. A trap... that was a good idea. He climbed up to his tree and looked through his pile of random stuff, looking for an item he had found two days earlier.. a mine. He pulled it out, and threw it to the ground, anticipating its explosion, ready to discard the plan and think of another, but it did nothing, just dully hit the ground and sat there. Rock sniffed the air again to make sure nothing was coming, then leapt down to the ground, with a half somersault through the air.
He had started to grow two tiny growths, that you could call fingers, on the end of his tail. They were articulated like a tentacle and he could wiggle them. He carefully started digging into the ground, occasionally using an arm to scrape dirt, not wanting to lose balance, and after a good half hour made a hole deep enough to contain the mine. He slipped it in, and with his two 'fingers' pressed down the big red button in the middle of the mine. It started beeping softly and blinking red three times, then green. He very gently covered it with dirt, doing only a little at a time so as not to trigger the explosive. He put a small red leaf at either side of the path so he would remember where he put it, climbed back up to his nest, and drifted off to sleep.

Hm, i really hope this would be alright. My characters needed some kind of intro anyway. Just tell me if you don't want me to do anything and i will delete this.

Salkin came walking up the road, with Hawk slightly behind. Hawk was looking around, almost worried. She hummed to herself and kicked away a small rock.
"I am tired at walking."
Salkin stopped.
"Huh?" he said.
"I'm tired at walking. Maybe we should take another direction. I mean, I have not seen any kind of town in several weeks. Yet we have been walking. And i am tired of it!" she said and stomped in the ground.
"Well, what do you want me to do? Grow wings and take us away? All we can possibly do is walk."
Rock, sleeping in the trees, slowly woke up by their voices.
Hawk hummed and picked up some rocks from the ground. She threw one far away.
"I mean, even you must agree to it. Get up early on the mornings, walk and walk, maybe be chased by a animal or a farmer, fall down on the ground on the evenings, exhausted, and fall asleep. It's all a big chain of that, and i'm tired of it."
She threw another one away. Salkin sat down.
"Okay, lady. Let's go at another direction and we'll see who was right!"
Hawk hummed and threw another stone away. It hitted one of the leafs. They started walking and after a few steps, Hawk threw the last and biggest one over her shoulder. It hit the mine. BOOM! Salkin and Hawk threw themselfes on the ground by surprise. A few leafs falled down from the tree as Salkin looked up.
"I knew that you were angry, but this..."
Hawk turned around, trying to catch her breath. They heard something move in the tree and looked at it.

Remember i have not done this so often, I'm unexperienced.(was the mine so sensitive?)
