Lucas looked at the man crouched down in the small cultivated field.
Phil was so focused on his work that he didn't even realize someone was watching him.
Lucas glanced around and noticed a few creatures nearby. They were very close to Phil, and it seemed like they might pounce on him at any moment.
'What was its name again? Dune? No, Duke,' Lucas confirmed in his mind.
"Duke, come here!" Lucas called, finally grabbing the creature's attention. At that moment, another creature popped its head out from the thick, dense layer of fur on Duke's body.
It was a relatively small creature, and now that Lucas looked closely, it had spikes on its body.
*"Name say who?!"* the big creature roared. Lucas was astonished to hear such intelligent words coming from its mouth.
Duke looked like a massive bear with thick fur, its paws huge, and an intelligent gleam in its eyes.
The spiky creature on top of Duke also glanced at Lucas warily.
