Elise's Puppy

Puppy

Elise’s brown puppy has survived the escape outside and now shares the campers’ encounters with unfamiliar wildlife.

Story so far

The brown puppy first appeared among the dogs in Mechanical, frightening Jimmy before licking Courtnee’s chin. After disappearing during a confrontation, it was found alive at a dog-meat stall; Shaw retrieved it during Elise’s escape. Solo confirmed that it had come from a box in Mechanical.

The puppy later wriggled free and ran upstairs. Shaw reported finding it behind a broken door and securing it so it could not escape again. It was present during the preparations to leave, and Elise carried it inside her suit. Released into the tall grass outside, it briefly vanished from view; it now runs through the grass with Elise chasing after it. By the campfire, Puppy presses its cold nose against Juliette’s cheek and imitates the howl of an unseen animal in the woods.
