Recycling Boiz

Recycling Boiz, also known as Recycle Boiz, Recycley Boiz, and Recycling Bin Boiz, are a common, Farangian species of boi. They are notable as a Farangian artificially created species.
==Appearance==
Recycling Boiz are designed to resemble a recycling bin. They are primarily bright blue in color, with a white undercoat. They have a pattern of white arrows, loosely resembling the recycling symbol, adorning their fur (represented with a white leaf pattern in Animal Jam). Their attire consists of a white and pink Head Flower and a white Lei. Like most species of boi, they have black eyes.
==Habitat==
Recycling Boiz are most common in Noottopia and Sanctuary Shores, as those are easily the lands that require the Recycling Boiz services the most; Noottopia, being the capital city of Farangia, is more prone to littering by default, and Sanctuary Shores needs to have it's delicate ecology constantly kept in check. However, Recycling Boiz can be found everywhere from Gearturn Forest to Hexagonal Spires. They can even sometimes be found in the Solarflare Badlands, trying to clean up the trash that floods that place, although with Solarflare Badlands being Solarflare Badlands, they usually can't stick around for very long.
==Diet==
Unlike most boi species, Recycling Boiz do not eat beans. In fact, Recycling Boiz cannot eat organic solids at all. Instead, Recycling Boiz feed upon a much more unusual diet consisting entirely of plastic, paper, and glass. 
While they can theoretically take a good chomp out of somebody's window, Recycling Boiz prefer not to do that, instead primarily feeding upon the garbage left behind by other Farangians. As Recycling Boiz were designed to have a higher poison tolerance then most other boiz, and it's not like boring newspapers or glass bottles can spoil, the usual sanitary concerns of eating literal garbage is mostly irrelevant for them. Farangians will often leave out big boxes of useless and unwanted junk for local Recycling Boiz to snack upon, although sometimes a young Recycling Boi pup will think the box this junk comes in is part of the offering and eat it.
Notably, Recycling Boiz process food in a very unique fashion different then most other boiz that eat solid things. Ironically, despite being called "Recycling Boiz", the junk a Recycling Boi consumes isn't recycled at all; in fact, it's completely dissipated into the body, without even part of it becoming waste. This is surprisingly useful when getting rid of highly pollutant trash that otherwise takes millennia to break down, such as plastic.
Some scientists have been discussing creating a new variety of Recycling Boi that can eat more artificial things, such as metal. However, these plans haven't come to fruition out of accidentally creating another Toasty Boi situation with an artificially introduced species of boi that outcompetes the natural environment by virtue of being able to eat literally anything.
Despite their abnormal taste in food, Recycling Boiz get their liquid intake from normal things like water, fruit juice, soda, all that good stuff. The only vaguely notable thing is that they have a higher tolerance for poisonous berry juice then other boiz, although only somewhat, as while Recycling Boiz have a poison resistance, poisonous berries were not the kind of poison they were designed to handle.
==History==
If one could argue the entire Vast Land of Farangia has a single, collective arch nemesis, then it'd easily be ecological damage. Whether it be rampant pollution, invasive species, destruction of natural habitats, or even artificially causing a volcano to erupt and permanently destroying an entire ecosystem, Farangia has been through an awful lot.
This is why, after Solarflare Sands became Solarflare Badlands do to unchecked ecological destruction and the aforementioned artificially induced eruption, and not long after Noottopia, the current capital of Farangia, was founded, Farangia in general decided to start making an active effort to prevent further damage to the ecosystem. On top of many more mundane things, such as setting down strict laws about building and heavily working to prevent invasive species, certain scientists specializing in the creation of artificial species of trend began discussing the possibility of genetically engineering an artificial species of trend designed to help with ecological damage.
Naturally, this suggestion was initially controversial. After all, literally artificially engineering a new species and deliberately introducing it into the wild could host a whole slew of potential issues, in particular the risk of effectively handmaking an invasive species. However, the project was eventually greenlit, with the justification that this new species would be so carefully created it'd be almost impossible for them to become an invasive species.
This artificially created species was the Recycling Boiz. Created using primarily artificial engineering with a hint of magic thrown in as well, they were specially designed to deal with litter polluting natural ecosystems, being able to eat waste products left behind by Farangians. In particular, the magic in them allowed them to not only gain nutrition from inorganic materials, but also fully absorb them into their body, making them useful for dealing with things that normally take millennia to biodegrade, such as plastic, without them expelling it every time they used the bathroom. As an added bonus, the magic dosage was small enough it posed little risk of being absorbed by the environment.
While Recycling Boiz were met with scrutiny at first, with Sanctuary Shores in particular taking a while to allow the species do to it's very strict "no invasive species" policy, but eventually Farangia warmed up to them. Now Recycling Boiz are a ubiquitous sight in Farangia, often being used as a symbol of Farangia as a whole and its recovery from being pollution ravaged to being one of the most ecologically conscious places in the entire multiverse.
That being said, one question still boggles the mind of Farangian and Jamaasian scholars; why, exactly, do so many worlds associate recycling with the same blue color and white arrow symbol?
== Trivia ==
* A group of Recycling Boiz is known as a Bin.
* Recycling Boiz are sometimes kept as pets, as they aren't exactly aggressive and their ability to eat garbage makes them very easy to care for.
