Creekbed paid his child support before life's struggles paid him.
As the unimpressive baby dad of the Foreigners, the man takes his job very seriously and cares for every single puppy of his the best he can.
A very independent and loner-type wolf, Creekbed was sure he could handle the job until Hydrochloroquine almost got murked by a tree. He couldn't argue with Cheeto McRonald Der Linde's order/request to get an assistant. Unfortunately, he doesn't get along too well with said assistant: an arrogant Algonquin wolf named Spiramycin.
Long ago, before becoming the designated baby dad, Creekbed was a scout, and tells many stories about his misadventures to his bastard kids. This is where his name's origins lie - he was found sniffing around in some murky crick by Cheet, who originally thought his undercoat was mud, not fur. This misunderstanding resulted in hours of cleaning from the pack herbalist.
