I flutter around with my elaborately designed wings. I eat bugs and other small living items. Many people like to see me around them.
Aye, I hung my cocoon here from its very branches! But I don't think I've seen you before. What kind of an animal are you? We are only known to exist within this magical oak, I do not believe we have a name for our kind. Maybe you can help name us? My family would love that! You live ... inside the oak itself? How marvelous! That must be why I haven't seen you before. Why don't you come on out and show me what you look like? Well, my family and I live under the bridge but we like to think of the oak as our home. It's wonderful inhabitants just bring us so much joy! Oh, I see! Well, those are very powerful claws you have, and they seem to be good at helping you climb up here. What if we call you a clawclimber? Maybe something a bit more frightening? Every morning, right after breakfast, we love to frighten the villagers as the pass over us on the bridge! Hm...okay. Why don't you tell me more then so I can help! Well, we scare the villagers and then we scoop up the scraps of food they drop. I think I've heard some humans talk about creatures that do that. They called them ... "trolls." Are you a troll? Oooh, t-roll, troooll, troll - I like it! Maybe Clawtroll? That sounds scary indeed! That ought to get us many scraps when the villagers know they're up against clawtrolls! A most fearsome name indeed!  You are a kind butterfly, our kind is forever indebted to you and yours! I shall share of your kindness to all other clawtrolls!
