"Do you have any ANTS?" - a long-dog

A species of interstellar merchants and tradesmen(tradesdogs?) with a great deal of technical proficiency but absolutely no understanding of abstract nouns. When interacting with humans this often leads to a great deal of confusion, as the long dog will usually try to buy or sell things it thinks are important to humans but that can't realistically be procured.

Some people will try to take advantage of these poor travelers, but most will just let them be or give them something completely meaningless in trade. The poor guys just want to be included, after all.

Society and Culture
Long-dog culture is largely based around friendship and mutual benefit. This most notably appears in the "Good Boi Handbook," which codifies what interactions are fair or not. The text is so ancient that it commonly references beings from folklore, including a curse know as a "Bamboozle" that humans would commonly refer to as larceny and the prison system being named "Hrorny Jail," named for mythical creature not unlike a goblin. The Good Bois Handbook is often so vague and up to interpretation that Long-dogs have the largest system of Hrorny Jails in the Heap. The introduction of abstract concepts like, "fun" and "sex appeal" have only worsened this systemic issue.

The punishments for breaking the Good Boi Handbook are often severe; sometimes up to forty minutes of Ravioli. Ravioli is the ancient penance for unfairness and "Stimky Bois" and the most common punishment Hrorny Jail. A Stimky Boi would be wrapped in plastic air bubbles and sat in a corner to think about how stimkey they are.
