I have to agree with Jenka's opinion on small dogs. We call them "Fußhupen" where I am from. (Well people who dislike them do. And even then only as a joke.)
Füst is a Jägerbear? As in a bear that is a Jäger? That's Mechanicsburg for you.
Didn't expect this, but it isn't very surprising. If you have a potion that creates supersoldiers why shouldn't you test it on small woodland creatures? Especially if your name doesn't even appear in the same dictionary as words like
sanity.
