Food in the Zyxx Quadrant

Food in the Zyxx Quadrant is typically Tellurian-centric, however with the vast diversity of species and sentients, other diets are commonplace. Unless otherwise specified, the foods listed in this article are widely consumed in the Zyxx Quadrant by both Tellurians and other organics. Food/fuel consumed by non-organic sentients is also described below.

## Diet: Pleck Decksetter

*include Secret snacks. Pleck also enjoys Floccarian cuisine.*

## Diet: Dar

*Dar's favorite food is a crispy garfon. (Mailbag #2) Dar drinks sand.*

## Diet: Nermut Bundaloy

Nermut eats a modified Tellurian diet due to the size, cold-bloodedness, and high metabolism of the Lird species. Lirds relish eating small fish-like creatures alive and whole, often to the point of distraction and a loss of self-control. These animals resemble Milnids, a Lird delicacy eaten monthly on their home planet of Nemel. Nermut has been able to eat food up to 65% of his body size, however this results in some gastric distress.

## Diet: C-53

C-53 consumes power as his primary source of food, and he especially enjoys power supplied by smaller local suppliers over larger conglomerates. C-53 is also able to ingest batteries (digesting the battery acid and then compacting and expelling the other parts later), but is apparently unable to eat typical Tellurian food, unless it contains a large quantity of battery acid. In place of standard power, C-53 is also able to consume hyper proton fuel which results in a droid euphoria and greatly accelerates his functionality. Once the effect of the hyper proton fuel wears off, C-53 experiences negative side effects that approximate a Tellurian hangover. As hyper proton fuel has dependency issues associated with it, C-53's use and interest in it is somewhat concerning. While not technically a food, C-53 is also to consume dust due to its technological component.

## Diet: The Bargarean Jade

Bargie mostly subsists on gas. High octane gas will juck her up "hard." She can also consume Hyper-Proton Fuel.

## Diet: AJ-2884

Although AJ presumably subsists on a typically Tellurian diet, his eating routine often involves him sliding food under his helmet while wearing it. This process results in the food being turned into a paste that glues the helmet to his head and thus requiring him to eat and lick most of the helmet paste to free his helmet. (With time the paste does convert to dust and sloughs off.) AJ often has a rash on his neck from the paste. Another unusual aspect of AJ's diet, is that like all C.L.I.N.T.s, AJ has been genetically bred to be able to eat his own pinky finger as a high protein snack. The pinky, which is simply snapped off and eaten, will eventually regenerate.

## Diet: Beano

Beano, as a cosmic artifact of unknown origin, has a wide ranging diet that has been difficult to define with the possible exception of eggs (scrambled, boiled, and poached) which play a key role in "Beano duty." Beano at first seen eating only Tellurian food, insisting specifically on organic or "eating clean", Beano later was shown to eat other non-Tellurian food. This includes large creatures (including pets) many times his size and hyper proton fuel, a substance known to be toxic to organic creatures. Beano also enjoys licking pus.
