They have a soft texture like the seams of stuffed animals, and are not frightening at all—rather, they are quite adorable. Characteristics: Weak and completely non-aggressive They simply overflow from the world of books and run around in confusion They are capture targets, but harmless ——— ・Librarians Staff members who work at the Great Library of Folia.
