### Wubbas

Wubbas are strange, strange creatures. They have no discernible eating habits, though it's surmised that they eat lichen and the occasional squashed corpse by ingesting it through their porous skin. There have been reports of them eating larger creatures, but usually this requires them to be in a mushy form beforehand. This is no problem for the wubbas - the outer portion of their body is soft and fluffy, rather like a marshmallow, but they have a harder core where presumably the internal organs are. That is, if the skin does not itself take care of some of the functions we normally associate with, say, the stomach or the spleen. If they spot a meal, the wubbas will rush to it, unless they can't actually get to it by going straight for it, in which case they normally just give up until they try again a few seconds later. They follow it around until they can get it in such a position where they can smush it. Or so it's thought by those who support the Porous Theory. It's possible they are just really, really bored and follow new things around like puppies in fits of excitement, evidenced by the excited little noises they make when a smitemaster tries to pierce the thick, bouncy skin. We may never know for sure.

Wubbas get their name from a common childhood toy that looks just like them - a big white blob. These are everywhere because they can be specially molded, put together with love, and sold for hundreds to a family with more money than sense. Or a poor parent can just grab a pillowcase, stuff it with something cuddly, sew it up into a vaguely oval shape and present to thankful child.
