(to explain) decided to redesign a number of the characters in the groovin' cast so the story would feel less dog-centric. this is a permanent change btw. here's the changes listed:

clementine - grizzly bear

pierre - barbary lion

cherry - holstein cow

maribel - bezoar ibex

sugarplum - common tapeti

francisco - south andean deer

denise - mongoose

and the chars who stayed the same:

peach - siamese cat

xavier - grey fox

pomelo - australian shepherd (now officially the only dog in the cast)

rand - virginia opossum
