The Tale of How tells the story of the Piranha birds or Dodo’s as they would be known to you. The piranha’s are born from the blossoms of a tree growing on Otto the monsters head (Otto is a giant octopus with a broken heart.) Otto is insane and eats the piranha’s. They’re not happy and decide to escape. A very clever, wise and magical being then appears to them,‚Ķ. Eddy the Engineer!
