Mongo
Donut's velociraptor pet, banished into his carrier before the interview and mocked in the new snick.
Story so far
Mongo rushed Loita the moment she appeared in the production trailer, sniffing at the new admin, who did not flinch. Loita opened the team's inventory for twenty seconds and ordered him stored; he screeched in dismay but was sucked into the ether when Princess Donut activated the Magical Pet Carrier.
He had been part of the Death Challenge! rescue and features in the resulting snick, which Odette joked was obviously faked because Mongo is surely not that well-endowed. Odette's professional advice to Donut after the show was to keep Mongo out of the studio next time, which Donut immediately claimed she had been saying all along.
Appearance
A small but growing velociraptor with brightly colored plumage, prone to screeching when denied.
Role
Donut's combat pet, sidelined into storage for the interview segment.
