Like everyone who enjoys their work, he has a certain step to his move, giving him the godforsaken nickname 'twinkle toes.'

Failures & Embarrassments
As everyone does, he's had a few rough patches in his life. The worst mistake he's made is accidentally making the Scar, but he's not allowed to fill it in, as animals and plants now live there. He also has nearly wiped out a species of Scuttle that only lived in a few caves by accidentally revealing their shells are as hard as metal, and make good shields for Animoterrans

Nicknames & Petnames
Coverticus barely talks to him, and doesn't address his name. Plateous on the other hand calls him twinkletoes and all the other names he can think of.
Relationship Reasoning
When you nearly crush your best friend's girlfriend, you likely aren't staying friends.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
They both enjoyed wrestling each other, but now, it usually turns into an actual fight.
History
While Caverticus is trying to get her attention, she's trying to do the same. But when he's away making caves, and she's in the water with nothing to do, she listens to him digging under the ground. Sometimes she tries to dig, too, but that doesn't work well, fins aren't designed to be shovels. They hang out with each other and relax every few nights, especially when they travel to towns for a bit of more homely food.
Nicknames & Petnames
While Caverticus is sometimes called 'twinkle-toes', Ichtytalus has the nickname of Sweet-gills. She doesn't know why exactly he chose that name, but she thinks its cute.

Mainly because they like the others company and their jobs are somewhat similar. Caverticus carves the caves and tunnels, but Ichtytalus can carve caves away too, using water instead.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Their shared body shape is a big commonality, but they also like each others company.
Shared Secrets
They often talk about how life was before meeting the other, and Ichtytalus especially was amazed at the changes that have taken place.
