Out in Termagent Forest, a wandering light can be seen moving amongst the Baffor trees, pausing at each one for a brief moment before carrying on around the perimiter of the Citadel. The light belongs to a small lantern, which belongs to a small creature, who is wearing a small, dirtied brown robe. It's skin is green, and its huge yellow eyes seem to be focused entirely on what's before the wee beast, though it looks constantly about at its surroundings.
This little creature doesn't have a name. The members of the Krath haven't bothered to give it one, or ask if it used to have one back before they chose the Citadel as their home. In fact, they didn't know it was there until Naj's tinkering attracted its attention.
Its rounds are completed, and it begins to shuffle back towards the Citadel, moving so quietly it is inaudible to the best listening sense. This little groundskeeper has mastered this ability out of necessity; it won't do to wake up the sleeping members of the Krath as it cleans their rooms, washes their clothes, or prepares their food. These tasks are to be completed before dawn; this will be more than enough time for it.

Another little creature with yellow eyes waddles rather cautiously towards the groundskeeper as it approaches the Citadel.
It blinks beneath its hat.

It wasnt long after Naj had set the creature loose that it had found its way to the Termagent Forest. Though this place was extremely different from Hoth, the beast had already begun to adapt. He'd learned how to walk through the forest without making a sound, and the day before, he had climbed halfway up a tree before falling off. The creature had been elated however, at the discovery of a stone cave deep in the forest.
The forest was his home now, and so far, he had avoided the two big spires that sat outside of the forest. Until now.
The light from the groundskeepers lantern had attracted Fluffy's attention the past two nights in a row. It smelled funny, and the wampa was unable to discern whether it was to be eaten or not. The night before, Fluffy had been content to watch the groundskeeper's activities from behind a larger tree. His snow white fir was now brown from rolling around in the dirt, so that it could camouflage itself more effiecently. Tonight, as the groundskeeper walked away, another creature made its presense known. Curiousity was now too much to bear. Cautiously, Fluffy followed them out of the forest, frightenly silent for a creature his size.
As the yellow eyed thing and the groundskeeper walked toward the big black tower, Fluffy closed in. As it got close enough, it leaned down and snuffed the yellow eyed creature, taking in the creatures scent as it inhaled, and blowing off its hat as he exhaled...

The little creature turns its head to look the other two over. It's not sure of the creature with the hat; but the big furry brown one probably lives in the forest. It's certain that these two won't bother the Krath, so it simply shrugs its little shoulders and waddles on toward the entrance.
If yous'uns are comin', yous'uns can help with the chores.

The Black Waltz snatches its hat out of the air before it can blow away, holding it down against its head – or at least where its head should be – tightly. Its glowing eyes squinted slightly, suggesting it was glaring at Fluffy before it followed after the Groundskeeper; various bells, keys and tools around its waist jangling as it moved.
Unbeknownst to most, the creature had been a creation not of Naj Arilov, but of Salem Ave, intended to act as an aide in maintenance of the Termagent Forest. It could not speak aloud, and communicated its feelings and wishes only through the Force to the trees which it tended to.
It had never met those with which its Master, who it assumed was still here, socialized and was curious about them, for some reason.

Fluffy leaned down a little closer and sniffed again as the waltz glared at him. As it turned around to walk off, Fluffy smacked it with his claw then growled. Though the wampa hadnt become familiar enough with the terrain to become territorial, he would still test the waters with other creatures, finding out just where he stood in the food chain, to see how far he needed to climb.

Doink.
A tiny knife has embedded itself into the Wampa's leg. It's the little creature's way of saying "Don't do that."

The Waltz jumped with a start as it was struck, its feet lifting a foot off of the ground … and not returning. Its wings began to beat furiously as it whirled around, hot eyes glaring from beneath its hat at Fluffy. Before any retort could be made it ducked away and bobbed ahead, still facing the two others to make sure no ambush would occur.

"RRRAAAWWRRRR!!!"
The small sharp object in Fluffy's leg wasnt enough to cause him intense pain, but it was enough to utterly infuriate him. One claw swiped across his leg, knocking the knife away. Before he was slouching down, to make walking easier. Now he was standing at his full three meter height, with his arms stretched slightly out to the side. This worked as a warning. He was about to become violent.

If you wakes the masters, I cook you poisnens!
The creature's knife hasn't killed anything to date; all it really does is make people angry, or make them use more caution. Or both, sometimes. The poisonings always work though. It shuffles on, mumbling to the Waltz.
Floors need moppin's an' windows need to be clean. You are doin' that'n.
