That question was already answered in the last page. It's actually Boxbot inside the armor... and he's terrible.

But if it was trying to do hold the robots off while bonsaiwolf #2 delivered the shadowpeople to the Court, as tyler suggested, then it has done its job and needs to get home. Indeed, that was what I was trying to say. If you send in a team, they may have the same overall mission, but the individual members may not have the same purpose. We haven't seen Shadow people on Dog 1, which doesn't meant they aren't there, but we can't say for certain that there are either. All we know for certain is that there are two dogs, and one of them had shadow people on it. When dog two is destroyed, not only does dog one not go back to fetch the lost shadow men, it doesn't even look back. Which isn't exactly indicative of any single answer, either, seeing as it could have been instructed to focus on its own charges (if it has any) or it could be a situation where the package has been delivered and now it's done. I'm curious to see if we follow the dog all the way back to the wood or if we'll be watching the kids have their "So... powers, huh?" conversation. Edit: The Question of why Thorn doesn't do anything is interesting, too. The panel of his helmeted head doesn't show eyes, and is a 3/4 view, so it could be interpreted as an "He's watching the shadow people go," shot or as an "He's utterly oblivious to the shadow people," shot since we can't see his eyes at all. And whether they were dropped-off spies or prisoners is irrelevant, then. If he saw them, then he'd be obliged to do something one way or another, wouldn't he? We don't know enough about Thorn, though, or the nature of the shadow people's visit to know why he isn't doing anything yet.

Oh, that's clever. But then why would Thorn ignore the escaping shadowpeople... Maybe he didn't see them? Or maybe this was all an elaborate plan to allow them to co-operate with the court somehome?

Drones. Whether they are controlled by Ysengrin is yet to be seen.

Need to read more carefully. The Question of why Thorn doesn't do anything is interesting, too. The panel of his helmeted head doesn't show eyes, and is a 3/4 view, so it could be interpreted as an "He's watching the shadow people go," shot or as an "He's utterly oblivious to the shadow people," shot since we can't see his eyes at all.

We don't know enough about Thorn, though, or the nature of the shadow people's visit to know why he isn't doing anything yet. I don't think Thorn saw them, since he would likely do something if he did. What I don't get is why he never chased after Dog #1. Perhaps this is evidence that he doesn't think there are any shadowpeople on board, or that he decided to allow it to retreat.

Anja said that the dog-tree creatures were puppets, and indicated that she'd picked it up from her second sight or whatever she had. So I doubt they're sentient.
The shadow-folk could be controlling them for Ysengrin, much the same way that one of them was controlling Robot. Maybe, since the dog-creatures were much larger than robot, they needed several shadow-people to control them in order to work properly.

It's a pretty good idea, especially seeing as how robot didn't get taken over until after he got his sweet arm.

Two other things to consider: Anja said at the same time that they were "being called back," and the drawing makes it look like she was sensing an etheric line (#554). (Not that these invalidate the idea. I just think that, whatever the explanation is, it'll account for them as well.)
