The gremlin animal-trainer applicant who lost the garage 'interview' and was instantly vaporized.
Waldrip Chris is a level 30 gremlin animal trainer, an expert in biological mounts, who competes with Hedy to run Carl and Princess Donut's garage on the tenth floor. He argues for a flesh-based vehicle (a Charm Wombat, a Cloud Cheetah), all while bashing Hedy over the head with a bug-filled gourd in their brawling 'job interview.' When Donut chooses mechanical — and Hedy — Waldrip Chris explodes in a spray of red and green mist, the first casualty of the floor's 'don't come in last' rule applied even to applicants.
