I ask what I should do about them.

Before Fleck can reply, the thing drops onto the ground and then opened like a flower blooming. Inside it is a small slimy creature, with a body like a baby cheetah, but entirely made of plants. Its mostly leaves, but it had small flower petals where the spots would be, and where the cool black stuff on the face would be. Its paws were like smooth tree bark, and a Venus fly trap was at the end of its tail.

The creature looked up and chirped at you, and it sounded similar to a cheetah chirp, but at the same time it sounded a bit like trees in the wind.

Fleck smiled and chirped back, and soon the 2 animals were wrestling each other playfully and playing a weird game of Tag.

(If I find a pic later, Ill attach it here. Same with Fleck, but I might have one.)

Okay.
How many pods were there on the plant-thing?
I gently separate them and put one on each shoulder, then start off for camp.

Also, I check on the Rex Egg

About a half dozen, but they are already split or seem rotten.

The plant-cheetah-thing nuzzled you, purring. It was smooth, like elephant leaves.

Also I check on the Rex Egg

Its fine. Nothing new.

The cheetah thing nosed it, curious.

I head back to camp.

The man greeted you. *wlcome back? What did you find?*

*I found another stray, one whom I haven't named yet.*

Is the cheetah-thing a girl or a boy?
