so i've had this game for a while (got it in a bundle) and i've always wanted to play it. it seems like such a great and whimsical game. recently i've actually gotten a chance to play the game so i've been reading the booklet again to make sure i know everything (because i'll actually be the sm) and in doing so i actually have a question about the games lore. in the beastkind section of the book it describes that "Hordes of rodents forge scalemail armor for bears who cannot wield the hammer themselves" but later the section on behemoths say that such large animals generally don't consider the lives of small animals. i really can't wrap my head around this contradiction so i'd really like to know; how do behemoths think of and interact with smaller animals? any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
I like to think of Behemoths like dragons in typical fantasy tropes. They're so massive that they live life on a different scale. Some might work with Beasts, but most don't consider them worth thinking about. What's a eating a few squirrels to a wolf?
For an example of a Behemoth working in tandem with Beasts, there are a couple in Apawthecaria, a sister game to Scurry. Boldheart the Sea Eagle helps taxi smaller Beasts to-and-fro from Summit, though for a fairly hefty price in food.
