	~~His relationship~~ to ~~[[Big Serow]] is unknown~~.		In battle, Serow wields the Serow Carbine (セロウカービン ''Serō Kābin''), a rifle that manipulates the gravity of its target, causing it (or them!) to float in air. A good shot can even effectively nullify its gravity, making it incredibly easy to send them flying.

			* Despite the similar names, no relation between Little Serow and [[Big Serow]] has ever been established or even hinted at.
			* Little Serow's "land warrior" role comes from various 1987 ''Transformers: Beastformers'' character/toy checklists, despite him not actually being sold in the '87 line.
			* Speaking of, the 1987 character poster art (seen at the top of this page) incorrectly colors his rifle silver. His recolored '88 bio card corrects this error.
			* Said bio card gives him the imaginative nickname "'''Serow'''" (セロウ ''Serō'').
