Bleam & Lazoon

  Designation: the BLUE BIRD & LASER POINTER cillimorphs

  Group: BIRDISH

  Native Biomes: PLANET URBANIAK & CYBERSPACE

  Size: SMALL

  Interesting Facts: Bleam and Lazoon generate a light beam with their beaks that lets them highlight interesting objects in cyberspace, but its destructive potential is unlocked in the real world, where things can catch fire, which they seem blissfully unaware of. They’re much tamer company in dead zones, where they lack the wirelessly received energy needed for their little arsonist mouths.

  Peb & Yorpeb

  Designation: the PET ROCK & CANVAS cillimorphs

  Group: COLONIAL

  Native Biomes: PLANET WOODZY & PLANET URBANIAK

  Size: SMALL

  Interesting Facts: These goobers don’t generally move unless asked to; Peb’s favorite hobby is falling over. Its giant mouth serves to convince you it’s always about to say something, but it never opens. Yorpeb is highly customizable and loves to be painted. Its keeper can draw any sort of face or mouth they want on the portion below the eyes.

  Dydown & Dydolff

  Designation: the DOLPHIN FISH DIE OFF cillimorphs

  Group: FISHY

  Native Biomes: CYBERSPACE & PLANET SCORCHER

  Size: SMALL & MEDIUM

  Interesting Facts: These fishies prefer to swim the internet rather than water, feeding on garbage data in the currents, helping to clear spam and bot activity. If they accidentally swim into a dead zone they will suddenly manifest in the deserts of Scorcher, where they take on a drier sadder form that can barely move, showing any unprocessed data still in their systems. Eventually they will crawl back into the surf of coverage and get back to it.

  Glerm & Glamnip

  Designation: the BEACH GLASS HERMIT CRAB cillimorphs

  Group: SEGMENTED

  Native Biomes: PLANET URBANIAK & PLANET SPLISHY

  Size: SMALL

  Interesting Facts: These cute lil’ scuttlers collect pieces of beach glass and slowly mold them together with their saliva to form ideal decorative shapes. Glerm is shy, but Glamnip is much more boastful, unable to deny how cool its bottle-shaped rain-collecting shell is. It always tries to pour you a drink, which you can have if you want, since its silliness field negates all bacteria in it. It might taste a little crabby though.

  Malamark & Mufflemush

  Designation: the SLED DOG cillimorphs

  Group: MAMMALISH

  Native Biomes: PLANET BRRR & PLANET WOODZY

  Size: SMALL

  Interesting Facts: Malamark’s two-layered coat is well insulated against planet Brrr’s frosty temperatures, but when it needs that extra little bit of warmth it flicks its hood up over its ears. Mufflemush integrates the hood by default and instead spends its time toying with the organic aglets on its collar, even when it’s supposed to be pulling its keeper’s sled or standing guard.
