Character · Book 8, A Parade of Horribles

Nico and Dario (One Fine Pig)

Two Tigrans in an unhealthy throuple with a pig — Nico, a level-91 Greaser buffer than Bautista with a Jersey voice, and Dario, thinner and gold-chained at the wheel of their Tigr APV — who win heat one, run down Team Helix in the street and reverse over them, and are dissolved by two silent traps Carl lays under cover of Donut's relationship advice. 'We get Penny to the safe place. She’s the important one.'
