Um Excuse Me Sir These Are My Emotional Support Worms

concept: furbies but actual animals

City furbies are usually seen in large ruffles (groups), up to 20, in densely populated areas. They have adapted to living with humans and are a domestic breed. Most babies grow into dull colors, while some keep their vibrancy. The vibrant hues of some furbies are eye catching, making furbies popular pets.

Rural furbies live away from the cities, near the forests and farmlands due to sensitive hearing. They are quite shy and tend to stay away from people, but can rely on them for food and shelter. Ruffles of furbies can be commonly found near or in farm buildings. Their diet consists of any bugs or plants they can come across.

Tropical furbies live in humid areas, near beaches and on islands. There are multiple types of tropical furbies, wild, domestic, miniature, and bug.

Wild tropical furbies have small ruffles, usually up to 5 members. They aren’t very social and keep away from humans, constantly hissing and growling at passerby. Not much is known about them, for they are a rare sight.

Domestic tropical furbies live in small towns and villages, having ruffles up to 18 members. They are closely related to wild ones that are ocassionaly seen in the forests. Tropics tend to be very social towards humans and each other. Just as city furbies are, they’re popular pets.

Miniature furbies were specifically bred for their small size and are commonly mistaken for babies. They are extremely social and need a partner of another species to be happy and healthy.

Bug furbies are named so after the antennae on their heads. Ruffles can be up to 30 members. Not as popular as other tropics, they still make good pets nonetheless.
