The stoats of Last Bast
Every stoat of Last Bast wears a band of yellow-ochre fabric as a sash around the waist. BE E4·00:45:10 There are thousands of them, and Bennett says they take in new stoats all the time. BE E4·00:56:33 BE E4·01:26:19 Sybil stands upright and walks on two feet. BE E4·01:08:03
Talia leads the family through the jobs of Last Bast, and the stoats there use the Blue openly. BE E5·00:17:02 BE E5·00:45:09 Sybil says the dead lose their names so that loss is easier. BE E5·01:22:36 Thorn guesses there are 2,000 stoats, and Bennett says to add a zero. BE E8·00:51:09 BE E8·00:51:15
In the finale, after the humans arrive, the stoats disperse into groups and Aabria says there is simply chaos. BE E10·00:01:31 Twenty thousand stoats are put into formation, and Ava's Intimidation of 25 gets them in formation. BE E10·00:29:59 BE E10·00:31:46
