Sort of a 'out of thin air' thing I did for  RossMallo because he loves critter designs.

Original Flavortext:

"Imagine this: A soft and round critter who has the capacity to absorb and retain the flavors, and to an extent the look, of the last meal he consumed. Had a nice slice of watermelon, suddenly he's a heavy waterlogged green striped fruity fellow. Craving cheesecake? Shove some in his piehole, you now have 50 times as much cheesecake flavor all compacted into a delicious cream-colored beast. Disappointed in the serving size of your KFC? Toss a chicken leg in his mouth and now you got a giant featherless bird, no need to reheat. The handy dandy portable flavorful food changeroo~ Anything he can eat, he can adapt to the flavor of it. Ice cream, pizza, fish filet, pork, ribs. Even things you'd probably try to not eat, if you're just curious to see what one would look like after consuming gold bars. XP

Perhaps his kind was nearly hunted to extinction due to their delicacy nature of being a handy tool to expand on scarce or rare foods, causing them to become a rarity themselves.

...having said that I can only imagine you feeding yourself to him just to see how much of your own looks he retains when he absorbs your 'flavor'. |v"
