Yeah, I decided to give my Silpher's Pack cast a few interviews. I had the interview idea quite a while ago, but I wasn't sure how to approach it. This works out quite well. I'll try and throw in a few more cameos later on

it seems that making an interview with one of your characters and putting it here is a good way to advertise your story, like a taster.

Issue: 11

VICE PRESIDENT ASLIK BETRAYS HARD WORKING SLIGS!

Vice president Aslik has condemned the surviving slig train driver to death due to HIS OWN mistakes!

The following information was obtained from a reliable source at FeeCo Depot;

The surviving slig train driver, who we now know is named Tholl, was pulled from his train cabin in the early hours of this morning by Aslik's cronie sligs and replaced by a younger slig driver.

He had just finished unloading cargo from his train at FeeCo Depot and was about to continue to Slig Barracks, when he was pulled from his cabin as he was opening the door by a group of around 4 sligs. They ushered a younger slig train driver into the cabin and brutally knocked out Tholl with a truncheon.

He was dragged to FeeCo Depot detention centre and is currently counting the seconds left of his life before he is sent to Skillya. And this is all because Tholl crashed a train after working 7 days a week with less than 6 hours sleep a night.

Vice president Aslik doesnt deserve the title 'president', he should have seen this coming. If we at SLIG'S WEIRD! were able to predict this happening then I'm sure that a glukkon who actually runs a transportation hub for the Magog Cartel himself should have seen the error of his ways and corrected them.

We were not able to interview Tholl as we were not allowed on FeeCo Depot premises.

MAG: Must have known we wouldnt like it, along with many other sligs working for FeeCo Depot I'm sure.

Hard working sligs of Mudos, join together in union now and protest in any way possible to stop this injustice! A slig's life is at stake! Send us your views and opinions to show these glukkons of major corporations that WE WILL NOT BE PUSHED AROUND!

We are going to pursue this story to the end.

M.O.MNews you cannot refuse – By the Scrabtrapman

ISSUE4: SLIG BARRACKS FALL!

Yesterday a group of mudokons around 200, fresh from the mudokon uprising barracks, Slig’s took heavy resistance and each platform was fought for inch by bloody inch, the mudarchers kept coming in great swathes while tomahawkers battered the poppers in front, Aslik took a ball car outta there just as the muds found the boiler room, lucky they didn’t no how to operate the boilers, ha stupid little muds, however now they have taken the entire barracks and are raising the labour eggs, apparently the next stop is Maggie the glukkon queen!

MAG: That is some big news. Damn M.O.M. for finding it first.

Our side story today is about a meech that was found in the very back pen of Rupture farms, it was found with a litter of dead meech’s which leads M.O.M to believe that somewhere there is a male meech ready for breeding woop woop!

MAD BUT TRUE ANIMALS!

1.) Today I was patrolling the border of Soulstorm Mining Co, the part opposite to Necrum where there's just endless desert. Anyway I looked up at the train track and I saw this green thing. It started moving and I realised it was a paramite! It was making a bloody web! Well I was watching it when I heard a train coming, and saw the train's wheels run over the track exactly where the paramite was. Once all the train had passed, it crawled down one of the track poles onto the floor, and ran out into the desert! How did it survive and what was it doing in the desert?!

MAG: Weird!

Words With Kroloff

YES! Its time to hear our sergeant Kroloff’s words of wisdom, expert in weapons, combat and hunting, with over 16 years experience, and currently stationed at a small slig outpost in Scrabania. But he still has time to answer your questions!

Rawley: Hi, I need to get rid of my Slog, but I don't want to hurt it or anything. What's the best way of giving it to another Slig without fuss?

Kroloff: Well I'm no expert in being suttle, but I would advise you to make an advert for the slog clearly stating 'to a good home only', and also add that you will inspect the purchaser's premises personally to ensure good intentions. That should deter any cruel or otherwise unnecessary people.

If you dont want that kind of fuss, like you stated, then I would personally give the slog to a friend who you know will look after it, or ask them if they know anyone who may be interested.

Issue: 12

THE ASLIK, PHLEG AND DRIPIK TIFF TRIANGLE

Aslik, an accomplished glukkon running his own transportation hub for the Magog Cartel. Also a self-centred, aristocratic, egotistical smug git. Dripik, a brave and capable glukkon managing his own Slig Barracks. Also a forgetful, not-too-bright bufoon. Phleg, a straight-talking, level-headed glukkon directing his own Bonewerkz mill. Also a hatred fuelled stressed ticking time bomb of angst that just about keeps himself from chewing the heads off everyone who opposes him long enough to hold a board meeting.

Our source (who cannot be named for their own safety) tells us that these three glukkons have been nagging at each other since this succession of events at all three organisations about keeping on top of things.

Vice president Aslik made this public statement yesterday;

"We at FeeCo Depot would like to apolagise to all the industries affected by these sudden turn of events, for any inconvenience caused. The rail line that was damaged in the crash will likely be fixed in the next day or so. We are continuing our duty as normal, and this shouldnt effect any other industries apart from those on the receiving end of the damaged line. Thats all I have to say, thank you."

Director Phleg has been bugging vice president Aslik over the phone due to his lack of bone delivery to his mill thanks to Aslik's fumbling staff rules, and Aslik has gone to desperate measures to divert all calls from Bonewerkz to one of his advisor glukkons.

Director Phleg, despite all the trouble he and his business is having, has actually donated some of his hard earned (and much needed) moolah to FeeCo Depot in an effort to speed up the process of fixing the major line connecting Bonewerkz to FeeCo Depot.

General Dripik has had a bit of a fiasco with Slig Barracks recently where he enjoyed an uprisong from the mudokons. Apparently the uprising was true, but rumours spiralled out of control when a number of people reported to M.O.M. News that mudokons had apparently taken over Slig Barracks.

Rumor Kontrol recently dismissed this as myth and says that everything at Slig Barracks is under very strict control and that there is no need to worry. They also warned anyone looking to stir up trouble that they will be severely reprimanded for 'aiding mudokon terrorism'.

MAG: You dont mess with Rumor Kontrol.

General Dripik did not wish to be interviewed at this time, but a slig captain informed us that they have upped security at Slig Barracks incase the mudokons 'get any ideas'.

What a moron huh.

Aaer: Hello, I need to get a Mudokon to scratch my back. How can I make sure he doesn't whack me on the back of my head while my back is turned? I got this really, really bad itch that needs a-scratchin!

Kroloff: Well, when ever I get some bad itch on the part of your back that you cant reach, I just rub my back against the wall, or if your outside, a tree or post.

But if you gotta get a mud to do it, even though I would advise against it, I'd say clobber him before hand so he knows your serious, or get one of your mates to watch your back as he does the job.

VICE PRESIDENT ASLIK EATS HIS OWN WORDS!

Vice president Aslik adressed slig protestors outside FeeCo Depot today and stated that Tholl, the unfortunate train driver, would not be sent to Skillya, but would instead be transferred to another company.

One of our reporters managed to get a few words from him amongst the crowds before he retreated back to his office;

"There was a slight mix up, and he was accused of crimes he didnt commit. Therefore he has been pardoned. Goodbye."

MAG: Yeah right.

We could not find Tholl, as he was in the process of being transferred. No high-ranking FeeCo Depot staff will give away his destination.

I: So, you are the pack Alpha?

U: That's right. It ain't an easy job, but we all stick with each other through thick and thin.

I: You had a couple of scrapes and cuts lately from a Scrab attack?

U: Yeah, this is one (points to eyebrow), but it's not as bad as this one (points to his arm). It'll be fine in a few weeks.

I: Inna is your female companion?

U: You could call her that, but not to her face. She can be pretty rough when she wants to be. I'll tell you a story about her...

Well, after reading the interview... It doesn't look like the Inna story will be suitable for broadcast. We'll try and censor out the material, but it could take a few months.

YES! Its time to hear our sergeant Kroloff’s words of wisdom, expert in weapons, combat and hunting, with over 16 years experience, and currently stationed at a small slig outpost in Scrabania. But he still has time to answer your questions!

Anonymous: I was wondering, do you have any info or references for The Golden Gun product? I'm not sure whether to get one or not.

Kroloff: I actually do have one, got it cheap off a contact of mine, if you know what I mean. So far i find the weapon above average; its spot on sights and precise shooting is deadly, and very effective. I found I can shoot stuff I can barely see! On the other hand the automatic setting is a bit crap, because its just too precise.

A good machinegun should spray its ammunition, not too wide of course, but it must not be very precise. All in all, excellent sniper ability, rubbish machinegun/automatic setting.

perhaps MA you should try splats idea to give it a bit of variation?

:
It might be very interesting one day in the future to show that it's happened. It would be great to here the conspiracy theories and questions that 'Slig's WEIRD' would publish in response.
great again as always

Issue: 14

THE D.F.W. LEAGUE FIND THEIR FIRST CASE

The D.F.W. League have sent out a message to anyone who will listen about their little piece of information which stains Bonewerkz hard working reputation.

The information, that they received from a mudokon (and actually believed), is as follows;

MUDOKON SURVIVES SICK SIDESHOW

Sloggies at Bonewerkz are being trained to attack and kill mudokons in a secretly made theatre. Bonewerkz are throwing mudokons who they think are not working hard enough into the grounds where they are ripped apart by ultra vicious slogs and sloggies, for the entertainment of sligs and glukkons watching!

Raxe, the only mudokon known to survive such an ordeal, came to us, the D.F.W. League, and told his story.

"It was horrible! There were a few other mudokons and we were in lines in a sort of crapt shed. The doors were shut and locked from the outside and there was a slit in the side of the shed from which I could see the crowd of sligs and glukkons cheering.

"The ringmaster was shouting something to the crowd but I was too scared to listen. As soon as the sligs opened the doors a slog, one of many, pounced onto the mudokon in front of me, and ripped the skin from his face! Three sloggies jumped onto me and I could hear the crowd jeering and laughing!

"The sloggies were chewing on my arm and the pain was incredible, i tried to get them off but a slog ran at me full pelt and knocked me on my back. That was it then. I dont know how many slogs and sloggies were on me but all i could feel was teeth ripping away my flesh and crushing my bones!

"I could hear screams from the other mudokons but at that point I didnt care about them, all I wanted to do was get these bloodthirsty animals off me and get out of there! Well, I managed to throw one slog off my head and kecked another slog in te muzzle.

"I got up and nearly fell over again when my leg almost gave way. I knew I must have broken something in it but i couldnt see much, blood was getting into my eyes from the wound on my forehead. I wiped it off and saw the other mudokons fighting for their lives.

"I almost threw up in blind panic when i saw a mudokon dead on the ground, slogs chewing through his stomach and dragging out his intestines. I limped out of there as fast as I could, through the open tent entrance and out into Bonewerkz storage section, I think I didnt get shot because the slig guards were too busy watching the spetacle.

"I snuck onboard the next train which was destined for Soulstorm Mining Co and I jumped out just outside of it. I almost broke my ribs doing it! I wandered around the desert and amazingly found Necrum. The the D.F.W. League found me and nursed me back to health."

Believe what you will, personally i dont believe a word of it. Just how could he have escaped without being shot? Slig guards are more wary than this mudokon made out.

MAG: They're gonna milk this for all its worth.

M.O.MNews you cannot refuse – By the Scrabtrapman

ISSUE7: UPRISINGS ARE RESTED

The uprisings on the outer rim have been mopped up today, over 800 mudokons have been captured though many fled there are around 1200 accounted deaths, this is the largest mudokon uprising in the history of industrialism, Dripik said, “I obviously new that those duh, mudokons would get there duh juice, we are going to shoot every single one of the captured mudokons and hang them up for display in Molluck’s free fire zone”! M.O.M says, juice, that tard has finally lost it.

In a sub story the drop pods that were seen have been found deep in the forest, a small camp had been set up, a few huts made from wax and a range, the owners were nowhere to be seen, the technology of the camp is almost primitive besides one strange long spire that protrudes the tree canopy, it had four red lights on top and appears to be beaming waves out to space that are increasing in intensity by the hour, outpost slig leader Dycort gave us this tapper message, “I think its best if we watch this closely I haven’t been given any outstanding orders to destroy the place so I won’t, yet”!

MAD BUT TRUE ANIMALS!

1.) This isnt really an amazing animal feat, but its still to do with animals. I had just purchased a paramite pie and decided to tuck into it at dinner break, when i bit into something tough. i looked at it and there was a bloody paramite finger sticking out of the inside! claw and everything!

MAG: Disgusting.

INTERVIEW TIME!

This issue we interview the warden of a notorious mixed prison.

Interviewer: Hello, and thanks for giving the go ahead for this interview. What's the name of the prison you run again?

Warden: The Magog prison, and please, the pleasure is all mine.

I: Now, first thing, what are the pressures of running a mixed prison?

Warden: Well I must say there is a lot of fights due to racial differences, but I assure you we are on top of the situation.

I: Is there much paperwork?

Warden: My assistant takes care of most the documents sent here, but I do my fair share and yes we sometimes get mountains of paperwork.

I: I'm sure our readers would be interested in the amount of pay you receive, if you would like tell us?

Warden: i rather not.

I: Is there much of a risk factor running a prison like yours?

Warden: Definitely, we get a lot of outlaws and Bro sligs here so you can imagine.

I: Has your life ever been in peril doing this job?

Warden: Once, lets just say i was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I: Are your prison guards competent?

Warden: I would like to think so, but I've been in situations where I had to do they're job.

I: Do you interact personally with the inmates you receive at all?

Warden: Ever heard of a prison snitch? Other than that no.

I: Do you, or have you ever, organised any games in the prison, like sports?

Warden: Trust me, more "accidents" would happen if i did that.

I: Do you enjoy your work?

Warden: I do, but sometimes your faced with difficult decisions that your not proud of.

I: And finally, do you have any advice to wannabe prison wardens?

Warden: Keep a gun with you at all times.

I: Thank you very much, you've been most cooperative.

Warden: It's been an honor.

(Shake hands).

MAG: A very interesting character. I wouldnt be able to do his job.

Words With Kroloff

YES! Its time to hear our sergeant Kroloff’s words of wisdom, expert in weapons, combat and hunting, with over 16 years experience, and currently stationed at a small slig outpost in Scrabania. But he still has time to answer your questions!

Anonymous: Do scrabs make good pets? I was wondering because someone said they could get one cheap for me.

Kroloff: Whoa there! No way are scrabs good pets! They eat prey bigger then you everyday in the wild, and they'll just see you as a walking snack. And i assume that the 'pet' would have been industrialised, seeing as you said someone could buy one cheap and not capture one, which only makes them more vicious.

all in all, no. Unless you have a death wish. Stick to shooting them with a Scrab Shooter.

Scrab Shooters are FAULTY!

All Scrab Shooters are being recalled to Vykkers Labs due to a major fault in the mass produced weapon. The rifling inside the barrel of the rifle is not established enough, and more importantly, the gun mechanism does not allow enough force to be applied to the ammunition once loaded.

As a side note, the ammunition itself, which counts for a percentage of the trajectory power, is too feeble to cause enough damage to the scrab, merely causing a flesh wound.

We at SLIG'S WEIRD! were approached by a severely disabled slig (in a wheelchair) and his assistant mudokon, who was hired by the injured slig after his incident to help him with the simplest of tasks.

His name is Gollo, and he wasnt about to be bullied by the corporate giant Vykkers Labs into remaining anonymous. He told us this;

REPORTER: "When you feel ready, tell us your story."

(sighs). "Well, I used to work at this little logging camp, and I'd just finished my day shift. I clocked out, grabbed my new Scrab Shooter from the bunker and went out into the woods with a few friends for a bit of scrab hunting. We used to stick to paramites before, because we didnt trust our standard rifles enough to put down a fully grown bull scrab.

"Anyway, I was the only one with this Scrab Shooter seeing as I had bought it with my own moolah, which, may I add, I had saved up for for the last three months once I had heard of the new weapon.

"We went deep into the wood, and I mean deep. Deeper than usual, well you have to if your looking for paramites or scrabs. We spotted our first intended victim; a lone scrab. I loaded up my Scrab Shooter - I never load it before I see game, its a luck thing ever since I killed my first paramite using the same method - and shot at the beast.

"There was a tremondous shreak, and I mean so loud it made your chest vibrate, and then the scrab roared. I was terrified, and most importantly, I was wondering why the hell this creature was still standing after a short range shot into the back with a Scrab Shooter.

"I fired another shot, but this time it spotted us. My friends fired - well, it must have been over a dozen - shots into this thing, but it just made it go into a frenzy! We ran for it, and I know what all those poachers and expert scrab hunters are gonna be thinking right now; you never turn your back on a scrab, seeing as they can run a hell of a lot faster than you. But I'd like to see them stand up to a charging scrab with nothing but standard rifles and a bloody broken Scrab Shooter.

"It ran straight into me, and I immediately lost all feeling from my neck down. One sight that disturbed me as I lay on the floor while my friends fleed was seeing my own metal legs in front of my face. The beast had hit me so hard my back had snapped and caused my legs to hang over my face as I landed on the ground.

"The bastard thing killed two of my pals, but the third was lucky enough to find time to hide while the scrab had its way with my dead friends. I couldnt move, literally, and thank everything that is Odd that the scrab didnt come to me for dessert.

"Eventually it wandered off and my surviving buddy came out from a hedge and carried me on his shoulder all the way back to the logging camp. I was given a heavy sedative once there, i dont know why because I told them I couldnt feel any pain, and I woke up on a bed in some Vykker-run clinic. They said I was lucky to be alive and that due to my spinal injury, i would never be suited to wearing pants again, without falling over, hence the wheelchair.

REPORTER: " Do you wish to give a message to Vykkers Labs?"

"Yeah. Next time take the time to PERFECT your merchandise instead of just throwing them out there and hoping for the best, only modifying them once an incident comes to your attention. Bastards. Thanks to them I'm stuck in this blasted chair for the rest of my life. I have sworn never to use bodge-job Vykker products ever again. They are responsible for what I am now.

REPORTER: "Have you considered taking legal action against them?"

"Legal action? Are you kidding me?! This is Vykkers Labs! They'll just sweep me under the carpet and I would probably end up having to pay them if I gave their bent chronicler law suits a chance in court. They'll brew up some legal mumbo-jumbo and I would end up worse off.

REPORTER: "Ok, thank you for your time."

I strongly advise anyone who has a Scrab Shooter to send it back to Vykker Labs for correction, otherwise it is dangerous (to you) and obsolete. Vykkers Labs claim this will be free of charge.

MAG: Too bloody right!

M.O.MNews you cannot refuse – By the Scrabtrapman

ISSUE8: OUTPOST GOES OFFLINE

The outpost near the drop pod has lost connection with Dripik’s slig barracks, a possible confrontation arose when the sligs went in to scout the wreckage, the large pole that was erected in the forest was interfering with local telecommunications and appears to be beaming an unidentifiable message out to one of Oddworlds undiscovered distant moons, the threat level has been risen from 10 to 7, possible threat in a localized area, is M.O.M worried, no, no not really, oh and Dripik sent us a tapper just to make sure, “I do promise that er, the big pointy thing in the trees is going to be destroyed and the er things will be er taken away, the Vykker’s asked me for a specimen so I’ll give them one so long as they give me a few er vouchers? No, I mean money, er moolah.

Our sub story today is about the uprisings, today a mass execution was to be held but, after a small number of kills, an ambush was thrown, sligs returned rapid fire at the mudokon freedom fighters but the elusive terrorists hit and run tactics were superior, Dripik says “I swear, I was outnumbered”! Aslik says “Bumbling idiot”! M.O.M says, go Aslik.

MAD BUT TRUE ANIMALS!

1.) Hello SLIG'S WEIRD! I am a slurg farmer and had this bizarre incident happen to me. One of my slurgs had crawled out of the pen, and into the blender. I didnt notice and added some fruit, and then turned the blender on. I drank it and it was delicious! I only noticed afterwards when i saw the trail leading to the blender. So if anyone is wondering, raw slurg with fruit is top notch!

Magog prison break out: reward offered

They are wanted DEAD OR ALIVE. Also note that these criminals are extremely dangerous and will most likely use deadly force. These prisoners were last seen running from the prison, but guards were unable to respond. Remember if you have any information on this break out or the whereabouts of these fugitives, please contact the proper authorities.

Anonymous: Should I ever give up smoking?

Kroloff: What are you? A wuss or something? Personally, I wont ever give up smoking those Lungbusters, they help me relax and is one of the few things that help a slig relax that is actually allowed by sligs on duty (Chill Pill, alcohol, and illicit drugs are not allowed on duty, as all you Magog law abiding sligs will know).

I would go as far as to say they are more like a sligs best friend than a faithful slog, seeing as they fit in your pocket, you dont have to clean up after them and they dont bark at your boss.

Dont do it! Be part of the minority! Dedicate your life to eventually becoming a statistic!

RALL IS SENTENCED TO DEATH!

Do you remember the bright young slig named Rall who saved the life of his glukkon boss in one of our previous issues? Then a dark conspiracy arose about his possible megalomaniac tendencies when a suspicious murder was investigated by Vykkers at the guard tower, under orders of Moziknoff, the tower's manager.

Well we received an anonymous tip off that Rall, the accused, would be transferred to Magog Cartel HQ for a trial, after the Vykkers had proved Rall to be the murderer through forensics.

Our reporter arrived too late to catch Rall entering the courthouse, but he got these words from Rall as he left the courthouse an hour or so later and tried to get to the train station through the crowd of reporters;

REPORTER: "Rall, why did you kill that slig? Was it just for personal gain?"

"No comment."

REPORTER: "What do you have to say to Moziknoff?"

"Nothing."

REPORTER: "Rall, what sentence did you receive?"

"I gotta go back to Skillya, like you give a sh*t."

REPORTER: "Do you blame the Vykkers?"

"I dont care, get outta my way."

(Rall shoves our reporter into the crowd).

REPORTER: "But Rall! Do you think you deserve death?"

"I dont give a sh*t! Get out of my f*cking way, now!"

(Someone shouts 'dead slig walking').

"What?! Come here you b*stard!"

(Rall is restrained by courthouse guards as he attempts to punch our reporter).

Rall is currently at a safehouse in an unknown location awaiting his journey back to the horrific Skillya.

MAG: He deserves everything he gets.

The Brewmaster gave a secret report to M.O.M so, we published it, sorry but news is news Glukkon, “I am appalled at how we have lost our profits, my sligs are supposed to be extra brutal because it makes the mudokon tears salty from crying hard but, this is just stupid, suckmableuh”! Well, now we know that mudokons are ill-treated in there factories confides, this will surely bite the industrialists in there butts!

Great Big Glukkon Blunders

Hey, it’s Yolk again for another story of glukkons who really messed things up!
This story isn’t one I witnessed myself, but something that happened a few years ago; some people might have heard it – it’s a bit of a classic but that just means it doesn’t get old!

A glukkon had bought a stretch of land in some mountains and was about to finalise the deal, but since he was on the other side of the continent at the time, he sent some of his most trusted sligs to check out the area in his absence before signing the contract. A few days later he received a fone-call from the sligs, who told him that they had found a rich seem of copper in the mountain.

Copper might not seem the most valuable metal, but it’s very useful; it’s the second-best conductor of electricity (second to silver, which of course is more expensive) and it doesn’t wear out as quickly as steel and iron. At that time in particular, copper prices were through the roof.

The glukkon sent a message to the sligs to tell them to guard the mine until he got back. Unfortunately for him, it seems to fone operator listened in and told another glukkon about the rich land. When the first glukkon got home, he found some other guy had moved in on his land, and since he hadn’t signed any papers, he couldn’t legally have him removed!

Well, like any glukkon, he did the most obvious thing in the situation; he gathered an army of about 50 sligs and sent them in to chase off the thief. Unfortunately, he failed to hear from them for a week, so he sent another 100 sligs to find out what had happened to the first 50. These also failed to return so the glukkon sent some of his highest-ranking sligs in to find out what was going on. These also failed to return! In the end he found out that the rival who had stolen his land was also buying off his sligs, offering them rich pickings from the mines in the mountain in return for employment!

Enraged, the glukkon sent 200 sligs to chase off his rival and fight the unfaithful sligs.

Guess what; all 200 of the sligs took jobs with the rival glukkon in the mountain.

MAG: I couldnt stop laughing when Stevix showed us this!

Words With Kroloff

YES! Its time to hear our sergeant Kroloff’s words of wisdom, expert in weapons, combat and hunting, with over 16 years experience, and currently stationed at a small slig outpost in Scrabania. But he still has time to answer your questions!

Anonymous: When is the best time to run away from something?

Kroloff: Well, sometimes its actually best to not run away in some situations, like that brave slig in the last issue said about the rampaging scrab. With paramites, say, you should bloody leg it if there is a group of them, you should be able to outrun them and find higher ground. Even if they have webbing to climb they usually calm down once your out of reach.

With scrabs its the complete opposite. If there is a herd of them, remain still and hopefully they wont pick up your scent. If there is a couple of bull scrabs, enjoy the show! They rip each other apart and then one will dance victoriously on the other ones dead body, shreaking. Its quite a sight. They are usually that wound up by then that they wouldnt notice you even if you ran around their nest squawking. But dont try that.

With any other animal its best to just use common sense. Oh, I nearly forgot. See a fleech, run. Just run. Dont even try to kill it, just peg it. I've heard they taste horrible anyway, all the more reason to stay out of their way.
