## At a glance

- Its feathers turned jungle green and black, and a glowing frond crest grew where Earth toucans have none. The famous beak is still there, still mostly air.

- Runs away if Seven comes within about 8 metres. It never attacks, though a cornered one is still in the way.

- Home: Thallo IV.
