Shy timid, skittish, and paranoid. He has a slight stuttering problem. However under all that weariness Kidogo has a brave streak which comes out only when a loved one is in danger.

History

Kidogo was just your typical run of the mill dik dik, he found a territory found a mate (they mate for life) settled down and had baby wanting to waste no time. Kidogo appreciates the preciousness of life having had many brushes with death on a nearly daily basis. There is one near death experience however that proved life changing. His mate and calf were grazing peacefully on a shrub when pack of wild dogs happened to wonder by. Three of them saw the potential for an easy meal and began to give chase. Kidogo did what any good father would do. He got in their way and pretended to have a limp. They switched targets, and he lead them away from his family, it was the wild dogs who were pulling the fast one on him however running him right into the rest of their lounging pack. All hope seemed lost for kidogo that is until a lion leaped out of the grass and sent the pack...well packing. Kido was sure he wanted him for snack, and with wide open stretches on both sides of him, and grass to long for him to see over in front of him, he might as well have been served to the king of beasts on a silver platter. What happened next nearly killed Kidogo, but only because could have had a heart attack from the shock! The lion had spared him. If Nguvu has any alterior motive to be nice to him Kido can't tell, all the same he prefers to avoid someone who can kill him with the swipe of his paw, but when he does encounter the lion on occasion...What good would being rude do?
