Around Collyvale
The Cliff-Clambering Knuckle-Walker
Gentle protector · Collyvale’s high paths
The Cliff-Clambering Knuckle-Walker is a strong, gorilla-like Collyvale creature with padded knuckles, shaggy fur and an exceptionally patient nature.
It lives around the higher rocky paths, where it moves slowly and steadily. If someone feels unsure about a climb, it never pulls or rushes them — it simply stays nearby.

Quiet encouragement

A helping moment
When Ollie once stopped on a steep path, one sat beside him until he was ready to take the next step.
