[He sniffs.] You'd think he was the one who caught the hunters from the way he carries on.

[equally bitter smirk god it's like never ending internal facepalming up in here] But of course, anything that suggests that they may have to take some action beyond passively abstaining and letting Critter kill them one by one must be some sort of trap. Critter must have been a good guy all along, it's simply misunderstood!
