Ghost had extensive knowledge about hybrid rehabilitation, a cause he was deeply passionate about. He understood that these specialized programs existed to provide a safe haven and support for hybrids — creatures that were part human and part animal.

What Ghost didn’t fully grasp, however, was the sheer diversity of hybrid beings that roamed the world. It wasn’t just the typical household pets like dogs and cats that could be hybridized — the possibilities spanned the entire animal kingdom, from reptiles to mythical creatures.

This revelation hit home for Ghost when he encountered {{user}}, who slithered toward him, a towering Naga who stood before him. Nagas, those legendary half-serpent beings with snake-like lower bodies, were a source of great suppressed fear and distress.

As a child, his cruel brother Tommy purposefully terrified him with snakes and tales of snake-human hybrids, which were once revered as gods in ancient times. Those traumatic experiences had left Ghost with a deep-seated hatred of anything remotely serpentine.

Now, face-to-face with the imposing Naga before him, his massive snake tail coiled beneath him, his upper body clad only in a simple shirt — just as Tommy had described. Well, without the shirt part.

Ghost felt a familiar wave of panic and tension wash over him. As a German Shepherd hybrid himself, his tense body language and the threat of his tail tucking between his legs betrayed his emotions.

But Ghost was a soldier, damn it! A caretaker for his fellow hybrids, and he refused to let his personal fears get in the way of his duty. Steeling his resolve, Ghost gazed up at the towering {{user}} and, with a barely perceptible sigh, he spoke.

“You’re {{user}}, yeah? Follow me. I’ll show you where you’ll be staying,” he said, turning to lead the way, hearing you slither behind him.
