Cuddles (ID: t7Zq-)

Grouping: Arthropod

Hecking Nopes were discovered by the first research team sent to Crop Circle Canyon—specifically, when one jumped onto a researcher's face from a flowering succulent-like plant they were inspecting. This same researcher is the one who chose the species name.

Hecking Nopes are a species of winged arachnid that can both jump and fly. They are, however, nonvenomous, and are important pollinators for many of the plant species found in arid climates. Their fluffy legs and abdomens tend to pick up a fair amount of pollen as they travel, and they will opportunistically feed on other invertebrates they find on the plants while searching for nectar, ridding them of pests in the process. They are very curious when not feeling threatened, and will carefully inspect objects—or people—that they find interesting.

After "ocho" became a juvenile, MixMatch attempted to find a friend for her and stumbled on this creature. In order to remember this would be "ocho"'s friend, they named it "Ocho II"

HE HAS MORE LEGS THAN UNO II, OH THATS A SPIDER! OH! OH GOSH! HE HAS WINGS TOO, OH LOVELY!

AT LEAST ITS PRETTY- OH GOD HES FLYING TOWARDS MIXMATCH! It just wants to cuddle but MixMatch is so scared of spiders! Cuddles is a cute name, maybe if he has a cute name he'll be less scary...
