background
An unknown species of the order Stick Insecta - endemic to the island of Isurindi. For the past 350 years, it has been hiding in plain sight, disguised as reeds. Shaping and cloning yourself, your original shape will emerge at night, playing with trash cans and buoys.
The first settlers did not discover it, nor did the metropolitan land surveyors discover it. It was not discovered by the soldiers of the Revolution and the officials of the occupying powers. Even the first group of Saimei Islanders who came here but did not stay here did not discover it.
It has kept itself hidden, through four forms of government and two technological revolutions. Three games—if you count stoneware. Until it was accidentally discovered by a police detective armed with the Revacho citizens, in the Revascio neighborhood of Martinez, in March 1951.
Q: Are you toxic?
Yes. I can't scare humans off with my appearance, so I use a neurodegenerative egotisin to help disguise. Don't worry, it only becomes destructive after a long period of time.
