Crawler who died on the previous floor after making Carl promise to look after her tummy acher Garret.
Ren died at the end of the previous floor, hoisting her regenerating tummy acher Garret onto Carl in a deathbed confession — knowing, Donut complained, that Carl never says no to anybody. She told him the pet would need to be fed a few times before it would bond. Carl remembered how she looked at her friend at the end and felt the memory as a physical knot in his chest, insisting she was done, that getting out wouldn't have mattered, and that she left on her own terms and went out like a badass.
Louis felt guilty that she died barely an hour before Carl found a way to save everyone. Bautista argued the new pet should be named after her; Donut objected that they couldn't name him Cheater, and Katia insisted it should at least be something Ren would have liked. Louis's winning suggestion, Sir Rendlegore, honors her — he noted nobody could ever pronounce her name, and though she pretended it annoyed her, he thought she secretly liked it.
Deceased crawler whose dying wish gives Carl his new pet and its name.
