List of Ninth World Creatures

There are three primary kinds of life in the world of *Quest Friends! Flashback Future.*

* **Organic Life:** Creatures made of flesh and bones.
* **Mechanical Life:** Creatures made of metal and electricity.
* **Stratic Life:** Creatures of pure data, who live in the Datashere.

## Organic Life

### Blister Boots

*First Appearance: Twitter Post*

A pair of semi-sentient tin shoes which, when worn, turn red hot. The wearer’s resulting dance is the only thing that brings the footwear joy.

### Blood Barm

*First Appearance: Ep. 1: Turingtown, Part 1*

Turkey-sized creatures used as cattle in Navarene. They're covered in bloody sacks that, when popped, hatch smaller blood barms. Very hard to wrangle.

### Broken Hound

*First Appearance: Ep. 1: Turingtown, Part 1*

Horrific dog-like creatures that have bony bird heads. Impossible to tame, unless you're a resident of the rough-and-tumble city of Rhubarb.

### Date Book

*First Appearance: Twitter Post*

A parasite that disguises itself as an entertainment device. It responds to stimuli with positive reinforcement, while slowly draining host intellect. When threatened, it will shout out its attacker's insecurities.

### Hair Die

*First Appearance: Twitter Post*

A symbiont that transforms each strand of its host's hair into one of a few dozen colors. Each color is associated with a different esotery that, when cast, causes its corresponding strand to dissipate into ash.

### Phasemites

*First Appearance: Twitter Post*

Microscopic organisms that reside within multiple dimensions. As a result, they often require a multi-dimensional effort to catch. Can be used to modify equipment to protect from or deal intellect damage.

### Qwhale

*First Appearance: Ep. 48: Crime and Courtship, Part 13*

A pocket-sized whale bird with a dangling feather in front of its face. Qwhales are unable to fly (despite what our original tweet claimed[1]), although they eventually learn how to swim through the air.

### Ragtine

*First Appearance: Twitter Post*

Flat, monochrome exaggerations of unresolved desires. Ragtines simply repeat a handful of motions, unable to create any resolution on their own.

### Scrat

*First Appearance: Ep. 5: The Clockwork City, Part 1*

A fusion of a squirrel and a rat, as well as an unintentional reference to the movie *Ice Age*.

### Spamformer

*First Appearance: Twitter Post*

This being lurks in your periphery, but you know it's there, no matter how many times you destroy it. It whispers flattering things about your form, while offering improvements. Ignore the parasite, lest it infect you.

### Slothball

*First Appearance: Twitter Post*

Slumbering travelers of the Ba-Adenu Forest, lulled to rest by sleep-inducing pollen. Elders of nearby clans often ingest slothball pollen when ill, trading death for indefinite sleep in the woods.

### Treetine

*First Appearance: Twitter Post*

A small marsupial that subsides on the threading found in most fabrics. Treetines use the fabric they don't eat to set up nests in dense, high places, such as canopies and ventilation systems.

## Mechanical Life

### J.A.R.V.I.S.

*First Appearance: Ep. 1: Turingtown, Part 1*

A line of nine robots, each designed to analyze or explain a specific aspect of the Ninth World. Upon Dr. Signus Collodi's untimely death, JET.CO acquired the prototypes and mass-produced inferior copies.

Notable Characters: M.I.S.H.A. J.A.R.V.I.S., CK, MARSHAL, Q-BO

### Venom Vulture

*First Appearance: Ep. 4: Turingtown, Part 4*

A metal bird that injects a green numbing agent in its victim. Any PC struck by one is unable to use effort in a pool of their choice for the next hour. This effect does not stack.[2]

## Stratic Life

Unlike organic and mechanical creatures, there aren't any "species" of stratic life; instead, each stratic creature in Season 1: Flashback Future is a wholly unique being.

Notable Characters: The Nano Spirits, The Lady with Cinnabar Lips, Jeff & DinDavid
