The Gdans were mentioned in the previous chapter, the little rodents resting underground in their tunnels during the the day, but at night they come out of their burrows to hunt, and in large numbers they are dangerous and spread germs, and now Niner also runs into them. I especially liked how this part was written in the Hungarian translation, mostly because how chill the way Niner handled a little rodents nibbling on his boots. :D Niner be like like: OK.
I remember reading this part first time and I cackled so hard.

All but one of the gdans gave him up as inedible within a minute and disappeared into the waist-high crop. The remaining creature worried away at his left boot, a tribute to its tenacity, if not its intelligence. Those boots were specced to withstand every assault from hard vacuum to acid and molten metal. The little animal clearly believed in aiming high.
Darman would have found it fascinating, he was sure.
