Well. I have so many things I should be doing right now.
But I think I’ll take a nap instead.

So Alphy, @Thaidakar the Ghostblood…
Moash.

Ok so my thing with him. He’s not a villain. He’s not a hero. He’s not even an antihero, in my eyes. He’s a humans. I can’t hate him because if put in his situation, I would do the same thing. I would be cold and unforgiving, and if given the option to get revenge without feeling anything…yeah. I would take it. He’s not trying to do evil, he’s just looking out for himself and trying not to hurt.
And yet…Teft. Because Teft was very much a hero.

What redeems him, in my eyes, is the moment of regret.
When Moash realizes what he's done, that he's killed Teft.
That moment of pure regret, of pure pain.
You forget that Moash was hurt as much as us, if not more, when Teft died.
I don't like Moash, but I do at the same time. He deserves hate, but not the level he's been getting.

Caterpillar.
Cat. Er. Pillar.
Why?
Pillar is simple: they are pillar-shaped. They are long, colorful, squishy pillars.
Er is also simple: they started to call it a cat, and changed their minds. “It’s a cat-er…a pillar”
Cat is less simple. Perhaps they saw a fuzzy variety of caterpillar? But perhaps not. Perhaps they only needed an animal, something to show that the pillars live.
But if that were the case, any animal could stand in: a rhinoceroserpillar. A dogerpillar. A horserpillar. And that just isn’t right. So why a cat?
Caterpillar.
Cater. Pillar.
…no. Absolutely not.
Cat. Er. Pillar.
The most likely reason, I think, is a little known synonym for cat. In any scenario where you say cat, you could also say “small demon”.
in which case, we have a small demon pillar. That makes sense! They are small demons that take the form of a pillar. But “smalldemonerpillar” is a terrible name.
And so we have the caterpillar.
Cat. Er. Pillar.
Caterpillar.

Ok, so this is probably more then you wanted but I like etymology. From what I have found it originally comes from late Latin “catta pilosa”. Catta meaning cat and pilosa meaning hairy. It was then changed a lot over it being evolved into old French “chatepelose” and then into a Middle English form of “catyrpel” and finally into what we know and love “caterpillar”. So it literally is that they saw this thing that was hairy and thought to them selves “mmmm what should we name this. It’s hairy, it’s an animal, cats are animals. GUYS I HAVE AN IDEA!”
