The Setup
In the dark and very near future.....a genetic experiment gone wrong.....leads to the rise of a new breed of weapon.

They are beholden to their Master known as "Ryder," but not for long....

This is all a cover as he is a secret agent for the town of Foggy Bottom.

Although he cannot talk, Ryder and Cap'n Turbot can understand Wally when he communicates by barking and moving his flippers. Wally has a taste for both human and animal flesh.
- Mayor Humdinger is the mayor of a neighboring town called Foggy Bottom. He is Mayor Goodway's rival who spends most of his time devising unfair schemes to make his town seem better than Adventure Bay.
