Fun bee fact, hives will feed developing queens an excess of a substance called royal jelly, which helps the queen actually grow into a queen. Maybe that's what they were doing to Zeus...

Honey: The first sweetness
Before sugar, there was honey. Every culture that ever tasted sweetness began with honey. It sweetened offerings to gods, sealed wounds, fermented into mead, and symbolized both love and immortality.

A picture of a glamorous green woman with snake hair and sunglasses walking down a runway. People in the darkness are taking pictures.
Tarappa says "You've definitely seen her around in like, ads and stuff! She's HUGE!"The player and four other ponpai are standing in a cartoonishly grimy and bloody room. Cheerbi says "Alright, so a crazed serial killer has kidnapped the four of you and trapped you in his basement! Oh no!"A bright red worm with big eyes. Halfway down their body is a green lock, tied to a blue chain. The description reads: "They live inside the flesh of larger creatures. Despite that creepy fact, they can move in and out of flesh without harming the host, and they take so few nutrients that many hosts never know they're infested."Jasmine looking at a row of paintings. She reads the description under one of them: "A painting of the guy who painted this very painting, in the process of painting said painting."

It's Pansqueez! "Pansqueez will fill themselves up with condiments, then shoot it at enemies or predators. Many people try to befriend them just for the free food, leading to a lot of distrust amongst the Pansqueez." #indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector
A pink round thing with green leafy bits on the bottom. They have dot eyes and a wonky circle for a mouth. Their top is volcano-esque, currently spitting drops of mustard.

I have every political term under the sun muted, and every other day I find a new term to mute. Also the odd media series where any discussion around it makes my brain melt

A stout dinosaur-head-looking thing with frosting on the top. The frosting has rainbow sprinkles and a pink candle. This creature's arms and legs are coming out of the head.

They might even reject your item!
Trying to give a Pistol to a Captain Crash, a cartoony superhero. Captain Crash says "Guns are NOT toys! They can cause serious harm to humans and ponpai alike!" Captain Crash is not holding the pistol.

One of my favourite bits in the game I'm making is that your ponpai will sometimes comment on the items you make them hold 💜 #indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector
Giving a Lavender Bath Bomb to an IGO, a ufo-looking creature. IGO says "It looks like a planet! Wouldn't it be cool to go there?"Giving Tomato Juice to Nyoko-Chan, a trans-coloured sparkly catgirl. Nyoko-Chan says "Trans Rights!!! <3"Giving a Soft Serve ice cream to Crashhaz, a leopardy creature with a seatbelt for a tail. Crashhaz says "All my swerves are HARD!"Giving a Lump Of Coal to Holideer, a Christmas tree creature with deer antlers and a red nose. Holideer says "What do you mean? I've been nice! *sniff* *sob*"

It's Lampress! "The organs on their backs emit an 'anti-light', letting them lurk in the shadows wherever they go. They use this to confuse predators, prey, and enemies alike." #indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector
A dark green humanoid fish monster. Their face is a simple toothy maw, and they have a fin on their head. They have an anglerfish light on their back (coloured black), and pale orange fins on their elbows and butt.
