* CreatorsPest: Somewhat: According with Shawntae Howard, Mother Sanna is quite a difficult character to drawn due to her age, as depicting old anthros was quite hard for him without the help of a modelsheet. This is also the reason why she stoppped appearing in the regular continuity and many side-stories not drawn by him starting with the "Runt" sub-arc, as other artists had even bigger problems on drawing her correctly.
