Monsters? Right. There wasn't much Diego ran screaming from in the way of other animals. But, just like the human pointed out, there were probably a lot of animals who thought of sabers as monsters. Another thread of pride rose up, then died down almost instantly along with the smile.

And he was a human now.

What if he met other sabers at night, or animals like sabers? The chances of them believing he wasn't supposed to be human were close to zero. If Diego had pinned a little ground sloth and it tried to tell him it used to be a saber, he'd only laugh. And the human had just said it was close to night already.

Oh no.
