Raul

Raul action figure

The crab-bodied crawler survives as a talking Veriluxx toy still shouting his catchphrase on a dusty shelf.

Story so far

Raul appears in the epilogue only as merchandise: a crab action figure in the Veriluxx Real Pet Companion line, sitting on a shelf at Squirties among the models Zander is clearing out.

When the Uzi Jesus figure gestures too broadly and knocks it over, the Raul toy announces itself cheerfully - Hello, fine warrior! I am Raul - and, as Zander despairs about being indentured, calls out the line the galaxy evidently associates with him: Do not kowtow. Never kowtow.

Appearance

Reproduced as a crab-bodied action figure with a cheerful recorded greeting.

Role

A crawler remembered by the wider galaxy as a catchphrase in plastic.

Relationships

Uzi Jesus — A neighboring toy that knocks him off the shelf
Veriluxx — Manufactures his action figure
Tran — Shares the crab-body form the figure is modeled on
