The Knife of Never Letting Go[]
A cassor looking for food wakes Todd, Viola, and Manchee up from a nap. Manchee begins barking at it, perciving it as a threat while Todd reassures Viola that cassors are harmless.
Trivia[]
- Cassors may be the Chaos Walking version of the real-world cassowary, a flightless bird native to Australia. However, the cassowary only eats fruits found on the forest floor; whereas cassors eat animals in the order Rodentia.
- The cassor's tame disposition made them the perfect game animal for the human settlers of New World.
