BOPPET - TIMELINE #701273884

Boppets are large, insectoid creatures with a grey, dome-shelled body that range between two to three feet in length. They are slow-moving scavengers, with dozens of tiny legs that they use to carry themselves about. Their heads are oval shaped, with two small mandibles and four yellow eyes. Ten randomly placed columns protrude from the bobbet’s body, each of them ending with a flat, turquoise disk.
The most notable thing about boppets is their unique defense mechanism. While these creatures are typically calm and gentle, they will not hesitate to react when threatened. If a bobbet is disturbed or senses danger it will immediately tuck its head and legs into its body, creating a nearly impenetrable shield. At this point, the creature’s turquoise disks with begin to flash in patterns of red. In approximately one minute, a chemical reaction within the boppet will cause it to erupt in a powerful, flaming explosion, killing the creature and destroying up to a half-mile radius with its incredible blast.
With a little focus, however, it’s possible to diffuse a boppet. The disks flashing from turquoise to red do so in a very specific pattern, and if that pattern is repeated by touching each of the disks, the chemical reaction will stop. Typically, this pattern is ten segments long.
Because of their incredible destructive power, boppets are rarely disturbed.
