>>124742262Coyote, the trickster god and de facto ruler of the forest, represented that there was a plot and conflict. For that matter, that's also what Reynard represented.
When those two dogs just stopped being a part of the story, the story lost any semblance of plot and became this ever-growing pile of nothing. I agree with you that Coyote basically is the best incentive for engagement because he represents the all the bits necessary for a fucking story to be a story.
