Walking Stick Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a walking stick! Check out its walking schtick!

Look, these are the jokes, okay?

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The walking stick looks just like a twig, does it not? Hoo! It even has knots like a real twig would!

 These bashful bugs mimic plants in this way to hide from predators. A noble goal, you might say.

 But though the deceptive wretches fool some, they do not fool me! I see these bugs for what they are...

 Monsters, plain and simple! I say, did you know that walking sticks can grow to two feet long?!

 Imagine running into one! Surely I would faint.
