Key traits
- Annil, 92 cm tall, with a rust-red head-hood, long drooping ear-flaps, amber-yellow eyes, and a prominent oversized tooth.

Bigtooth keeps a long, solitary watch over a sealed post deep in the Udhafa ISEMH node, certain that his order will return for him when the work is done. He narrates each task aloud as he works, and marks the passing days with the same patient care he gives to everything else.
