The Critter Pick event also has a cool feature whereHonkai: Star Railcharacters react to the critters that resemble them via text message. Additionally, Reddit user Euphoric-Shake3094 discovered special dialogue when certain characters interact with creatures they take after. In their post, they shared how the creatures reacted to Blade and Clara, mentioning details like Blade’s wounds and Clara’s “tall robot,” aka Svarog.
