The Wild Robot Escapes

As she flees the farm, Roz is still afraid she will be caught, so she camouflages herself to blend in with the landscape as Brightbill leads her home.

As Brightbill and Roz make their way across the countryside, a triangle-shaped airship passes overhead. Roz can see RECO robots inside the ship, though some were destroyed in the battle on the island. Thinking quickly, Roz sends Brightbill ahead, and she ducks into a wheat field. Brightbill flies to a tree branch as the airship passes by again. Once it is gone, Roz emerges from the field, where she had disguised herself as a sheaf of wheat. It was a close call, and they must keep moving.

Roz walks on land, disguising herself with mud and debris while Brightbill flies above, monitoring for any danger ahead. Having mastered the flight patterns of many types of birds on the island, Brightbill uses his skills to help Roz move safely through the countryside.
