I'm sure throwing crabs at opponents would give you a great advantage when it comes to the element of surprise. [And surprise is half the battle.]
And I usually liked to invent... machines, I suppose you would call them. Ones that could fly, or dig a trench, or move very quickly over land. Sometimes I'd design weapons, too, so a kind of bow that could be reloaded many times and fired rapidly. I don't plan on building most of them, but I like thinking about the possibilities. I'm fond of the bicycles I've seen here -- we don't have them where I am from, but they're fascinating! And very handy, too.

And I suppose that makes a great deal of sense. Where I am from, animals are more akin to pets, though some can be taught tricks. And I suppose you could make them fight, if you wanted, so that people could gamble on the outcome, but I've never been too fond of the practice. [He used to buy songbirds from the market to free them.] It's... very different here.
