Cillimorphs Field Guide Section 20

  Rivaut & Jennyhan

  Designation: the DEAD LEAF FISH & JENNY HANIVER cillimorphs

  Group: FISHY

  Native Biomes: PLANET WOODZY

  Size: SMALL

  Interesting Facts: Rivaut closes and turns its big goofy eye so it can pretend to be a dead leaf floating in the water. A matured Jennyhan grows legs and waddles around, but never stops the dead leaf hustle, this time hunkering down and pretending to be a whole pile of them. The disguises really only work in fall, because neither of them has mastered green or white.

  Aurzo & Goldeluxe

  Designation: the FLOWER GIRL & GOLDILOCKS ZONE cillimorphs

  Group: COLONIAL

  Native Biomes: OUTER SPACE

  Size: SMALL

  Interesting Facts: Aurzo frolics through low orbit collecting stray organic matter to then throw as biologically confused confetti; they celebrate every ship’s arrival and departure this way. Goldeluxe can celebrate itself, having nurtured its foraged goods and trimmings until they grew into a tiny forest city. Don’t look in the little windows, as it’ll just confuse you more.

  Flipthorn & Doggelear

  Designation: the FLIPBOOK & THORNY DEVIL cillimorphs

  Group: REPTOPHIBIAN

  Native Biomes: PLANET SCORCHER & PLANET BOLDERO

  Size: SMALL & MEDIUM

  Interesting Facts: These lizardish morphs take different forms better adapted to which of their native planets they’re currently on, achieved by whipping away a shed skin all at once, so quickly that it looks like a flipbook animation. These gross peeled skins can be rolled up to make bonking clubs.

  Lacecup & Doilydid

  Designation: the LACEWING TEA PARTY cillimorphs

  Group: SEGMENTED

  Native Biomes: PLANET WOODZY & PLANET URBANIAK

  Size: SMALL

  Interesting Facts: Lacecup’s frilly wings are perfect for gathering dew, which it then pours into the silken cup and saucer always on its hands as gloves, so it can be a fancy little tea sipper whenever it wants. Doilydid will always try to fill up your drink, no matter what it is, or whether it’s full already.

  Needlenerd & Maelstromeo

  Designation: the RECORD PLAYER & DJ FRIGATEBIRD cillimorphs

  Group: BIRDISH

  Native Biomes: PLANET SPLISHY

  Size: SMALL

  Interesting Facts: Needlenerd’s wing grooves contain a song, which it can play by falling through the air in a specific shape and running its specialized beak tip across the grooves. If it can’t finish the song in time it’ll plunge into the ocean, but be no worse for wear. Maelstromeo is much more skilled, carving sea shells into song discs they carry around and play on the fly, spinning them in their oddly-shaped feet.
