3The crew consists of a tegu lizard named Arkady, a mouse named Milo, a raccoon named Leonardo, and a clan of cats lead by a cat named Nightstar. However, just because it's a story of talking animals doesn't mean it's all skips and dances underneath a rainbow. Things get dark.

6!!This roleplay provides examples of:
7
8* AbsoluteXenophobe: The Elder Parrot.
9* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Milo, despite being the youngest of the group, tries to help as much as he can.
10* AnArmAndALeg: Jericho implies he lost a leg to Nightstar, though being a Spider, it isn't nearly as severe as most examples of this trope.
11** Also, Soy, who lost his legs [[spoiler:to Leonardo. It causes Leo massive guilt.]]
12* AxCrazy: Berno is this and then some. To the point he happily sets a forest on fire.
13* HumansAreCthulhu: The most prominent theme of the story.
14* MasterRace: The Cult of Skin, a group of parrots which seeks to replace humanity as the dominant species. [[spoiler:It leads to them killing all humans in a town.]]
15* ThePromisedLand: What the characters are going after. Of course, it may just be a myth.
16* ReligionOfEvil: The Cult of Skin is revealed to be this. [[spoiler:They took over a town and brutally murdered its human inhabitants.]]
17* TheSociopath: Berno, oh so much. He gleefully kills several animals and munches on a human's corpse and tells Milo, a child, about it; after which he burns down Milo's hometown, forcing the main characters to escape.
18* TheSnarkKnight: Jericho.
