Stink Bug
Let me stink, so long as they can tell I'm there.
Stick
If you only knew the roots I have!
Trash Heap
Here, bring everything right here! Everything on me is part of me.
Puddle
I am elemental too.
Nettle
God, these potatoes are growing like weeds.
Carrion
What do I want? I want everything to smell.
Truncheon
It is I who am right!
Dung Beetle
Oh, me? I'm just an organized vulture.
Goat Leader
I am announcing the Lion paradigm.
Mud
I am the path, in case you didn't know.
Ant War
...yes, but our side is fighting in the name of all ants.
Worm
Long live war!

Puddle is my favorite, by far.
--That's a damn shame, because I think I translated it wrong. "Zivel" means something like [physical] element, not living being.
But I'll stew in my shame for a moment--the second comment I've gotten being something I erred on!--and fix it in the morning.
That's element as in the classical elements, not the chemical ones.
Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Puddle, apparently.
ha. But of course.
