Character · Book 7, This Inevitable Ruin

Gustavo 3

The second of Lucia Mar's two rottweilers, terror of the dungeon: lightning from the mouth, Porcupine Defense quills, and Mongo's neck in his jaws until Rend's Wrecking Ball ends him. When he dies, a mantis colony's star goes nova, and Lucia tells Carl he should have killed them both while there was still a connection.

Arc

Lucia's second rottweiler on an invisible leash, sliding on the Nest's ramp (ch. 71); lightning from the mouth, Porcupine Defense through Mongo's jaws, Raul blasted to smoke, and the dinosaur shaken by the throat until Rend arrives (ch. 72). A mantis colony's star goes nova the moment he dies (ch. 86, epilogue). One of his predecessors ate Mukta (ch. 28).
