#112: Pollien Found in only a select few planets, they grow inside caves, draping their vines and leaves all over, setting them as traps for those that enter their domain. Mysterious in nature, they communicate by moving around the giant red pollen inside their semi-transparent heads. #fakemon

#099: Thinkivore Thinkivores are keystone species of the dream ecosystem, as decomposers, devouring useless thoughts, ideas that fell out of use, burdensome memories, etc. If they can't fully digest a particularly bothersome thought, they'll at least make it more easily passable for you.
