The Pink Knight Rises


The Pink Knight's keen, chemosensory tube-feet are ablaze with the foul odour of a distant alarm response.

"A fellow being in distress!" he murmurs, body trembling in moral indignation. Due to the superheroically gelatinous consistency of his crime-fighting flesh, his body continues to tremble for a long time.


The Pink Knight rears up into the dark sea above, powered by his mighty tentacles and aesthetically pleasing fins.

He shall arrive at the scene of the crime within about 45 minutes to an hour.

He can only hope he's not too late.

It's a boa that looks like it's made of rubber! Sort of acts like it, too.

Pom-pom Crab

It's the Pom-pom Crab! Also known as the Boxer Crab.

But... who on earth boxes with pom-poms? Do you expect to get a knock out by tickling the other guy's nose?

Peanut Worm

It's a worm that looks kinda like a peanut sometimes. They pretty much always look like internal organs, though. Which is odd because they don't actually have all that many internal organs of their own.
