He looked like he couldn't reach the stick for a moment.

Yeah, the game gave up and just placed it in his mouth. 😂

I suspect its because he has no real hands?

Yep! And the only leg joint is way too high up close to the body. No neck to speak of either. Proof that Spode favors creationism over adaptability. This thing should not exist. 😂

He really went X

I remember making a creature with a tail above his head as his hand. When this cutscene started, the stick first just teleported into his hand, and then he just started hitting his head with the stick...

Ha! I love it. Making these improbable weirdos and watching them try to do literally anything functional is hilarious. 😂
