Leroy Starkweather happened to be the third Tangler who chanced upon the stray beast, and, candidly, his temperament took a turn for the worst. Aurum and Kaitou were those who arrived before him; Aurum being judiciously savage with the unwanted guest, and Kaitou attempting to be the voice of reason - ironically enough, though, the most reasonable Tangler present was the Proxy. Astiar was Pittian scum. The abhorrent creature kidnapped Roy for Jervis' perverted endeavours, and happily resided within the desert/jungle territory without seeing any wrong in doing so. In addition, its mental activity appeared to function at a minimal level, rendering it severely stupid - which could be dangerous, as stupidity in someone oft bred unpredictability (Leroy addresses Astiar as 'it', due to how the beast proved itself to not be of any intelligence whatsoever). Case and point in regards to unpredictability, the huge tree that it seemingly gifted to the tribe. The specimen of tree wasn't even one of Tanglewoodian origin (the region was swampy, not tropical), leading the leader to believe that the plant was ripped from Typhoon soil. The canine couldn't even ask the dragon on its thought process, for it was unpredictable. All he could do was hope to ward it away - permanently.
"You best listen to the kid," Leroy growls, approaching from the lion's flank, "'cause if you ever come back, you're gonna get killed. I can't tell ya HOW many warnings ya got to your name, but it's the most we've given to anyone." In addition to abducting Roy, Astiar also found itself present during Kydobi's venture to the border. Why it returned even after it had gotten attacked, the general could not understand. What he could understand, however, was that he'd been too lax on Shittians wandering too close to their territory. Anywhere else on the island they could visit, yet they always chose the forest, which was inhabited by those who didn't want them there. An abundance of his comrades were stolen, brutally harmed, tortured, and murdered at Pittian hands. Until an official apology was given, none from that group would leave the territory alive, should the enter it.
"If ya knew what was good for ya," the mongrel continues, his tone offering begrudging remission, "ya would leave that place you call home, and go somewheres that hasn't killed countless innocent folks who were just tryna live their lives. So many of my friends - my FAMILY, even - would be alive if it weren't for your people. So leave them, and live a better life."
"Otherwise, leave us. Or die."
