The Walk-On List
The season's list of Natives — survivors who were neither Collected nor became Crawlers — whom the producers want kidnapped into the dungeon for drama, a practice the rules forbid and no court has ever punished. Bounty crews sneak onto the planet to fill it; on Earth, in the last weeks of winter, two of them hunt a cat named Gravy Boat.

The Walk-On List in book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods
Collected, Crawlers, Natives; a list of natives the producers want, kidnapped by bounty crews the Syndicate never punishes; a cat, a woman in a flattened tropical zone, a girl's father, a goat, a dead crawler's twin; a snapshot two days stale because Borant started early (epilogue).
