Flicflam & Wheeleo

  Designation: the FLICFLAC SPIDER & GOLDEN WHEEL SPIDER cillimorphs

  Group: SEGMENTED

  Native Biomes: PLANET SCORCHER

  Size: SMALL

  Interesting Facts: Flicflam flips itself across hot sand dunes like a coin, except it always lands on heads. This helps keep its feet cool. The darker side tends to be upright at night. Wheeleo rolls around in a wheel of fire, disguising its spiderish body as a ferocious lion face, hoping we’re all such dumdums we won’t know there isn’t a lion body anywhere in the vicinity.

  Guzzjar & Swauldron

  Designation: the NIGHTJAR cillimorphs

  Group: BIRDISH

  Native Biomes: PLANET WOODZY

  Size: SMALL

  Interesting Facts: Guzzjar is constantly gargling all the guzz it generates. What is guzz? I don’t have enough of an iron stomach to describe it in detail. You wouldn’t want it on a sandwich, I’ll tell you that. Swauldron has way more guzz, and it sloshes and spills as it flies.

  Pummelbell & Champain

  Designation: the BOX JELLYFISH & DEEPSTARIA ENIGMATICA cillimorphs

  Group: SPINELESS

  Native Biomes: PLANET SPLISHY

  Size: SMALL

  Interesting Facts: Pummelbells have metallic weights in their bells, which often clang when they swarm and run into each other. For some reason they don’t think it’s as annoying as everybody else does. Champain has three heads, and can control them independently, but three heads does not mean three brains, and two of them are definitely just for punching.

  Tadpod & Toaderation

  Designation: the TADPOLE FIGHTER & SOLAR SAIL SURINAM TOAD cillimorphs

  Group: REPTOPHIBIAN

  Native Biomes: OUTER SPACE

  Size: MEDIUM & LARGE

  Interesting Facts: Space cillimorphs can swim in it even though it’s just a vacuum, thanks to their silliness. Tadpod uses its bubble blasters to clear out any threats to its parent Toaderation before settling into a cell on its back to sleep. Toaderation is the largest of all cillimorphs, so big its children can use its back as a hotel. Solar sail flippers turn starlight into a free continental breakfast.

  Whiskero & Lizbeard

  Designation: the EMEI MUSTACHE TOAD & BEARDED DRAGON cillimorphs

  Group: REPTOPHIBIAN

  Native Biomes: PLANET WOODZY & PLANET SCORCHER

  Size: SMALL & MEDIUM

  Interesting Facts: These silly guys are covered in spines. Whiskero is well aware of this fact, but always tries to jump into your lap anyway, the little scamp. Lizbeard can take spines off its own beard and insert them into suction cups on its toes and tail to make them sharper. Also they leave them wherever they think somebody is about to sit down, the moderately large scamps.
