Mirakrill & Crystacean

Mirakrill & Crystacean

Designation: the KRILL, WATER WALKING, & SHRIMP SAVIOR cillimorphs

Group: SEGMENTED

Native Biomes: PLANET BRRR & CYBERSPACE

Size: SMALL & MEDIUM

Interesting Facts: Mirakrill and Crystacean can run and walk on the water’s surface, an ability they lose if their connection to the worlds wide web drops, as they need credulous belief in photos of their locomotion to sustain it further. They don’t require it, as they’re perfectly capable swimmers.

Highfoalutin & Altisteed

Highfoalutin & Altisteed

Designation: the ROCKING HORSE, HIGH HORSE, & HIGH-SEAT PILLAR cillimorphs

Group: MAMMALISH

Native Biomes: PLANET WOODZY & OUTER SPACE

Size: MEDIUM & LARGE

Interesting Facts: The haughty Highfoalutin is pretty tall for a juvenile morph, and it never lets you forget it. It takes a lot of energy to walk around on those stilts all day though, so it often folds up into a rocking sledge configuration. Altisteed is as tall as an atmosphere, so you can only see one section of it at a time. Woe to plane passengers, who always get the butt section.

Cyprotten & Bodbarrow

Cyprotten & Bodbarrow

Designation: the CYPRESS KNEE & SHALLOW GRAVE cillimorphs

Group: GROWER

Native Biomes: PLANET SPLISHY & PLANET BRRR

Size: SMALL & MEDIUM

Interesting Facts: Cyprotten rises out of muck and snow to surveil the landscape, usually disapprovingly. As it matures more of its body surfaces, then its everyone else’s turn to disapprove since its unsightly and frequently stinks of swamp gas.

Grayj & Blisstella

Grayj & Blisstella

Designation: the GRAY JAY & STELLER’S STELLAR JAY cillimorphs

Group: BIRDISH

Native Biomes: PLANET WOODZY & OUTER SPACE

Size: SMALL

Interesting Facts: Grayj is notable as a cillimorph with very low ridiculactivity, almost like a plain old bird of yore, but when it matures it converts that stored energy into perpetual stellar radiance, migrating out of its small pond of planet Woodzy and into the unfathomable black ocean of space.

Yormule & Volcrysis

Yormule & Volcrysis

Designation: the CHRISTMAS TREE WORM & CRYOVOLCANO cillimorphs

Group: SPINELESS

Native Biomes: PLANET BRRR & PLANET BOLDERO

Size: MEDIUM & LARGE

Interesting Facts: Yormule gathers shiny sediment to make ornaments, which you’re allowed to take, but don’t be greedy. Don’t take such liberties with the adult, as Volcrysis is a wrathful beast that constantly bursts out of the ground, spewing ice chunks everywhere, especially wherever it senses a dearth of holiday spirit and cheer.

Piernk & Poplouse

Piernk & Poplouse

Designation: the LOUSE, CRAB LOUSE, & POP-UP THERMOMETER cillimorphs

Group: SEGMENTED

Native Biomes: PLANET URBANIAK & OUTER SPACE

Size: SMALL

Interesting Facts: These creepy little scuttlers get everywhere you find people, and they’re always full of blood despite nobody ever reporting a bite. Where are they getting all that blood? It’s really messed up. You can’t even use it in transfusions, because their silliness fields make it ridiculactive. Poplouse’s eye stalk indicates environmental pressure, retracting if it’s high, or if they’re embarrassed.

Buplox & Froyobahn

Buplox & Froyobahn

Designation: the ICE CUBE & BLOCK PUSHING cillimorphs

Group: COLONIAL

Native Biomes: PLANET BRRR & CYBERSPACE

Size: SMALL

Interesting Facts: Preoccupied with organization and pathways, Buplox and Froyobahn collect litter and game bugs, freezing them inside cubes and arranging them efficiently, often blocking access to areas both physical and digital with their collections.

Ssmolfry & Sssmokon

Ssmolfry & Sssmokon

Designation: the SMOKED SALMON, SMOKE SIGNAL, & SKYWRITING cillimorphs

Group: FISHY

Native Biomes: PLANET SCORCHER & PLANET URBANIAK

Size: SMALL & MEDIUM

Interesting Facts: These billowing morphs fly on endless smoke trails. Swimming is just as easy, but nobody else likes how they darken the waters with ash. To compensate, they make themselves useful by signaling and writing in the sky, accompanied by the sumptuous scent of smoked wood and fish.

Mysterious Americana Catalog: ‘Barmuda Triangle’

M-A-C (26):’Barmuda Triangle’

Category: whatsit

Collection Date: April 13th, 1985

Collection Location: (REDACTED), Georgia

Collection Report: The MAC is not to be confused with the establishment where it was found, also called ‘Barmuda Triangle’: a tropically themed purveyor of alcohol with a stable of billiards tables. For each there is a triangular ball rack with a decal lining the exterior that depicts palm tree silhouettes against an exaggerated orange-to-violet sunset.

Only one is MAC-26, indistinguishable from the rest initially. The catalog’s attention was drawn when several patrons of the bar, all with the same profession of pilot, went missing. There was never any clue in the disappearances, not so much as an empty car where it shouldn’t have been or an article of clothing. Shortly after their visit, six men were simply gone.

Beyond their jobs they all had one thing in common, having played a game on the furthest table from the entrance, next to the jukebox wearing the hula skirt and the coconut bra. Presumably they all handled MAC-26, which was singled out as the culprit from one witness report by (REDACTED): a fellow pilot shooting the breeze and pool with his coworker but who did not go missing, having touched everything at the table but the rack.

The catalog was able to purchase the item from the owner with no fuss as a ‘souvenir’. It is not to be touched by anyone who has ever flown an airplane or helicopter.

Current Collector: Joanna V. Satellito, provisional senior rank

Notes from Collector: “I’m banking on one of those boys reappearing. Need myself a fourth husband.”
