Snig of the Day
Spoof Toad
The speckled Spoof Toad is a friendly forrest denizen, possessing qualities of both the leapy frog and the wartly toad. As such, these amphibious amalgamates are often sought out to mediate territorial disputes between the frog and toad communities.
Handling Spoof Toads will often result in spoof warts. No need to worry, however, as the warts —true to their "spoof" qualifier — are nothing more than puffy speckles. They easily peel off and make a tasty, spongy snack if you're so inclined.
Polylid Squid
The Polylid Squid
The Polylid Squid from the island of Bali Bumbles about with a poly-hue lolly. That sucker's still sittin' on top of that stick Cause squids got no lickers for lollypop licks!
Hive Hinded Heem
Ambling slowly about the grounds of the Screamy Bee Ranch, the Hive Hinded Heem has no reason to rush. His hively hind, housing a whole host of hot-tempered hornets, affords him a free pass on time sensitive ranch hand chores.
BamboolianThe Bamboolian is the cutest creature ever. Its putty-yellow body and leafy ears blend in perfectly with the natural surroundings. This trait makes it more difficult to spot, but playing hard to get adds tenfold to its cuteness quotient. Look for Bamboolians to be offered atop that sundae at your local creamery.
Zoom the cuteness.
Santapede
It happens every year and it never gets less annoying. In the last waning days before Christmas, Santapedes invade and infest homes all across Chauceville.
"Last year was bad but this year has gotten totally ridiculous," remarks homeowner, Crumbla Bugyule. I mean, come on, Santapedes a week before Thanksgiving? Outrageous! I'm gonna squish 'em this year with extreme prejudice — mark my words."
But that always proves harder than snigs think.
From insect psychologist and bug lover, Dr. Heebiss Jeeby: "Santapedes are incredibly crafty little crawlers. Right when they're about to get the boot, they perk their tiny heads up and shout a friendly 'Merry Christmas!'. Sure it's in centepedese, but the mispronunciation gives it an endearing quality that renders the holiday 'house guest' unsquishable. They really are remarkable creatures. And I just love those cute little hats and faux beards."
Mifton FrippsMifton Fripps is every smart alec little neevling that you've ever known rolled into one hyper-condensed 8 year old arrogant know-it-all. His extreme level of insolence is fueled by the ever present BigSwig Soda. He mixes flavors to get maximum caffeine potency. Then he slurps away, rubbing the straw along the plastic lid to produce a stingingly cringeful high pitched squeak. Mifton has two exceedingly annoying traits. The first is to listen in on all conversation with the radar like acuteness of a Shark bat. Later he'll quote you, using your own words against you. The second trait is his cache of useless canned responses to basic questions. For example: Q: "What are you reading, Mifton?" A:"A book." Q: "What are you watching, Mifton?" A:"TV." I cringe just thinking about him.
Web Footed Nulp
Web Footed Nulps are bog dwellers that squish whenever they walk — even on dry land. They are often found frequenting the brackish sludge of Murkwater Marsh.
Oddly graceful when submerged, these fattened fen dwellers paddle and roll about like swamp hogs. As such, they are derogatorily referred to as "liquid pigs".
