The Logbook Pt. 2

Physical Strength

On the Octopod, the amount of physical strength everyone has varies greatly. Some have a lot, some don't.

The Captain and his "polar bear strength" is the greatest example of this. The Captain is extremely strong cause of a species benefit, and he always uses it to care for his babies. He'll use one paw to carry a bunch of camera equipment for Dashi while she very nicely tells him she can carry it herself while carrying Peso with the other, and Kwazii's just having a piggyback ride cos the Captain didn't want his babies getting tired.

Every single time after anyone sees him carrying a bunch of heavy things, they'll make him stop and help him with some of it, but end up carrying like one things cos they're so small, and afterwards they give him a back or arm massage to make sure he's comfortable and that his muscles can relax a bit.

Tweak is relatively strong from carrying around heavy tools and supplies. She can carry Peso and the kids with little to no problem, and can singlehandedly defeat Kwazii in an arm wrestling match. Kwazii always asks for a rematch, but she still wins.

Kwazii has attempted Polar Bear Strength training, but he's not too good at it yet. Kwazii can pick up the kids and spin them around, but the last time Tweak tried to give him a box full of her spare parts, it was so heavy that he toppled right over.

Shellington is not the strongest nor the most graceful, but somehow, he can carry all the Vegimals at once. Granted, some of the cuties sit on his head, but for Shellington, it's still a great feat.

The Vegimals have very little arm strength and cannot carry something if their lives depended on it. They'd try to lift it up with their tiny flippers, but
they can't, so either Shellington or someone else carries it for them, and the Vegimals will "help" you by hugging and kissing you all over, and it's the sweetest thing ever.

The kids have attempted to physically push Kwazii, but none of their tiny bodies can produce an adequate amount of strength to actually move him. The kids have been trying for months to try to get Kwazii to move, but they still can't push him.

Tweak thinks it's both hilarious and sad at the same time. She can (and has) called him "fat" for this incident, but she hates wrong the kids so sad when they can't move him, so she always steps in and helps them push him.
