Nanuq is skippable and powerplayable!

Nanuq rooted around for an opening in the pile of puppy bodies, which had doubled overnight somehow, but when he didn't find a good spot in the first five minutes of searching, he gave up and melted into a puddle of sad, hungry puppy on the floor.

This was routine ever since the arrival of the new pups, who were both smaller and less coordinated than Nanuq. It wouldn't take a lot of effort to shove them out of the way, but even that was more energy than he wanted to waste. It didn't matter that he was hungry, or, from his dramatic viewpoint, wasting away to nothing. Nanuq had no interest in fighting for resources when they were freely given before. As a result, he simply did not feed when they were awake and in the way.

He flattened himself pathetically on the den floor and turned his blurry eyes up to his dad and their unknown visitor with a soft, bamboozled whine.
