Curse me for a dense fool, but why does the Handlinger at the start of IC always have some kind of animal with him? Is there another Handlinger with him or is his parasite briefly mixing with animals to find the trail of those he's after?
I don't seem to remember the Handlingers from PSS needing this kind of familiar....

I was under the impression that the Handlinger came as a piar. One Right and one Left.
One chose the human host, and the other an animal...

More to the point, the Dextrier/warrior was using a human host very happily, but the Sinistwhatchamacallit elite was using various animals as the climate/setting made available. It was quite content to burn them out and then move to another - for example Drogon's horse which ran in spite of serious wounds just before the ambush.
It's an interesting contrast to PSS, where the Handlingers seemed to cherish their host bodies more and not jump from one to another.
- Abyss, thought the marlin was rather novel.

[spoilers for PSS]
Blending into society was more the point of them in PSS. Quite likely it was also a condition they had agreed to with Mayor Rudgutter.
