BLOCKOO - TIMELINE #81073302
🕑 Added 2025-08-12 13:51:03 +0000 UTC(Timeline Tuesday #211)
Blockoos are small, rectangular creatures approximately the size and shape of a standard toy building block. They come in a wide variety of colors, found in nearly every shade and hue that one could imagine, and feature six round humps upon their back, which are placed specifically in three rows of two. Blockoos are similar to the insects of our timeline, their body constructed from a hard carapace, but this similarity is most visible in the nature of their four pointy legs. This species features a flat face on the front of their body, with two large eyes, nose-holes and a wide, thin mouth.
Blockoos use their similarity to toy building blocks as a strategic advantage, making their homes in places where large amounts of these colorful plastic pieces might be stored. Blockoos consume plastic to survive, this material making up the entirety of their diet, so entire swarms will often move into piles of blocks, consume then and then replace them. In fact, if a blockoo has its legs tucked up into its bod and its eyes closed, it is almost indistinguishable.
Initially, blockoos were seen as pests on this timeline, but thanks to their unique eating habits the creatures have become an important part of various environmental programs. They are incredibly adept at disposing of waste products, and are happy to do so as long as they are given ample breaks. During this time, Blockoos will play with one another, group constructing and dismantling themselves into an assortment of complex objects.
