“Koala once tasted a leaf like the lost Madagascar forests. She goes back to that branch, hoping.”

Koala
“In the Undertow she is the Last Ones' gentle grazer: slow, sweet, and always reaching for the next leaf.”
A Root echo of The Last Ones
The living story
The story so far
Megaladapis edwardsi: the giant koala lemur, 180 pounds — the size of an orangutan — browsing the forests of Madagascar with a koala's face and a giant's appetite. Koala has kept the whole program: in the Undertow she browses Cactus's memory-gardens, reaching the high leaves with long grasping arms, serene as only a leaf-eater can be. The Last Ones' gentlest grazer. She remembers the forests — the real ones, the green ones — and she tells the young ones about them while she browses. 'The leaves,' she says, 'are always there. You just have to reach.'
The Koala within
“Koala reaches for the next leaf, and remembers the forests.”
Gentle, serene, and sweet to 180 pounds — the giant koala lemur, all huge koala-face and long grasping arms, browsing the Undertow's memory-gardens and teaching the young ones to reach.

Whispers about Koala
“Slothking once spent a whole day right-side-up, for a young one afraid of heights. He never told how much it cost.”
The Last Ones
The recently vanished — thylacine, giant lemurs, elephant birds, moa. The realm's mourners and memory-keepers; they keep the Book of Lasts.
