Tyachi (Neobiontomania)

Tyachi - Muctelion belonging to Greg.

History
It was the first time Greg had met him in the swamps, where he had been caught in a snare set by members of the Blood Pulp Corporation. He released him, fed him, scanned and even tamed him, gave him a name and befriended him. He also treated his wounded left shoulder with a bandage that acted as an identifier. Tyachi was initially quite an unruly pet, but with time he became more polite, more faithful to Greg and more helpful.

Appearance
Tyachi does not stand out too much from the other Muctelions - it looks like an enlarged version of a weasel with green fur with a turquoise underbelly, the inside of the ears and eyes. He is quite young, and thus - not particularly large even for his species. The most striking feature is his armband on his left shoulder, which was put on him by Greg as an identifier - this is where Tyachi was wounded by a trap.

Character
He is nice, but at the same time lively, almost like real silver and even a bit unpredictable. Still, he is Greg's faithful companion.

Capabilities
He can swim very efficiently and even breathe underwater. It works well when you need to get somewhere undetected. It is incredibly fast and agile, whether in water or on land. Its small, sharp teeth and claws are better not to be taken lightly, as is the sticky, poisonous mucus. He has keen senses, and his fur is waterproof and protects him well against the cold.

Weaknesses
Its small size can be a problem when fighting larger opponents. He is quite sensitive to fire.

Etymology
From Japanese "イタチ" (itachi, "weasel") and "谷地" (yachi, "swamp").
