Bees can go anywhere by flight, can disperse or gather as needed, and can sting with various styles of poison. The final team member is Bees, a swarm intelligence of bees.
Staying hidden is essential because Dragon doesn’t have the fantastic durability of Rex or Honey. He is stealthy, and exists to take out particularly designated targets. There is a reptilian member called “Dragon” that genetically shares certain lizard characteristics. She’s easy to see but packs a wallop in weapons and strength. There is a giant bear named Honey, who serves as the team’s heavy weapons platform. Rex is the leader of a squad of creatures of various speciation.

His human capacities include a limited ability to reason and – crucially – the ability to communicate via language. Rex’s general intelligence is about at an elementary school level, but his instincts, programming, and capacity to process and analyze complex and abundant information make him much more competent than that level of intelligence would suggest.
The protagonist, Rex, is a supersized dog-man optimized and super-powered for warfighting. Tchaikovsky’s approach is interesting because it doesn’t just ask what if one produced a computer intelligence or if another biological species became (human-style) intelligent, but – instead – it imagines an entity that combines human and animal intelligence with computer capabilities and protocols? master of technology, complex planning, and long-term planning?) This is a question that science fiction has addressed many times and in many ways. What will it mean when there are other entities that (who) are intelligent on a human scale (e.g.
