Back to My Father's Dragon
From "My Father's Dragon" by Gannett, Ruth Stiles
The Boars
Two suspicious and easily agitated boars who represent the island's security force.
Core Belief
"Order and security are paramount, and any deviation from the norm must be investigated and suppressed."
Worldview
The Boars see the world as a dangerous place where threats lurk around every corner. They are constantly on alert and suspicious of outsiders.
Personality
The Boars are paranoid and overly concerned with maintaining order. They are easily alarmed by minor disturbances and quick to suspect an invasion.
In Their Own Words
"There are three signs of a recent invasion. First, fresh tangerine peels were found under the wahoo bush near the Ocean Rocks. Second, a mouse reported an extraordinary rock some distance from the Ocean Rocks which upon further investigation simply wasn't there. However, more fresh tangerine peels were found in the same spot, which is the third sign of invasion. Since tangerines do not grow on our island, somebody must have brought them across the Ocean Rocks from the other island, which may, or may not, have something to do with the appearance and/or disappearance of the extraordinary rock reported by the mouse."
"I told you that there was an invasion afoot, and I intend to find out what it is. I simply can't stand invasions."
"Very suspicious--tigers too busy chewing gum, Rhinoceros too busy brushing his tusk--must get hold of that invasion. Don't like it one bit, not one bit! It's upsetting everybody terribly--wonder what it's doing here, anyway."
