This is the story of Hec the Hectorectoropitmus and his Fantosaur friends. Hec himself is
about the size of a Arabian horse, in fact looks a lot like an Arabian horse except for his
floopy mule-sized ears.  Hec has a mottled coat in shades of green and brown that would
be very fashionable today as camouflage and six-sided, leathery scales on its
hindquarters which is from where the HectoRecto part of the name is derived. Hec fits in
very well in his Pecant Grove where he spends most of his time because Pecants are
ninety percent of his diet.

Pecants are a juicy tomato like fruit that grow all over Ameritor wherever there is
abundant fresh water. Most Hectorectoroptimi are very happy spending their whole lives
in Pecant groves and grazing on Pecants. However Hec tasted caramels at a party
given by some friends and now Hec has a problem. After tasting caramels at that party
he now craves caramels.

A Rateuknow is a Cocker Spaniel sized beast with the all the distinguishing features of a
rodent - small beady eyes, long pointed, whiskery snout and those big gapped front teeth
that allow rodents types to chew through about anything. Our Rateuknow, named Ratso,
was particularly good at annoying just about every creature that lived in Ameritor except
Homer and we will meet him later.

Ratso wanted his fellow Fantosaurs to think he knew lots of things that he didn't actually
know. You know the kind. However Ratso did actually know how to make caramels and
that's why Hec and probably every other creature in Ameritor put up with Ratso even
though they didn't like him. Our first adventure is about Hec's unhealthy desire for
caramels and the fact that only Ratso the Rateuknow knew how to make them. From
there the Chronicles of Courage begin . . .
