A type of
creature that star in the
Commodore 64 games
Creatures and
Creatures 2. Formally known as
Blotians (named after the
planet they lived on known as
Blot), Fuzzy Wuzzies renamed themselves in
search of real
hipness.
You received a
free Fuzzy when you bought
Creatures (it was one of those cheap
fluff balls with a sticky bit on the bottom). Along with it, you got a '
Care For Your Fuzzy Wuzzy
Guide'.
Adoption
By
purchasing and
opening Creatures, you automatically
adopted a Fuzzy. It thinks of you as
Mummy, because, as far as it knows, you gave
birth to it when you opened the
packaging. You are free to name it what you like - but be warned,
historical records have proven that Fuzzy Wuzzies named
Mildred get quite annoyed.
Sexing
Unfortunately, there is no way to clearly
sex a Fuzzy Wuzzy. The best guideline is as follows: if it gives birth to a
litter it's
female, if it doesn't, it's
male.
Feeding
No
food on
earth has proven suitable for the Fuzzy Wuzzies'
digestive tract. Go on, try something, anything. Place it next to a
dish or something. It'll just sit there and
stare at it until the dish is removed.
Exercise
Fuzzy Wuzzies
love being taken on very
long walks in the
countryside. However, they only enjoy this
activity when being
carried.
Grooming
As Fuzzy Wuzzies will remain
stationary for most of their
natural lives, the
grooming necessary is the occasional flick with a
feather duster. This
activity is also highly
stimulating for Fuzzy Wuzzies.
Training
Your Fuzzy Wuzzy can be taught many appealing
tricks as it
grows. Leaping through hoops is a
speciality, this it may require some
encouragement from behind.
Sausages
Beware placing
sausages (
cooked,
fresh or
frozen) in front of your Fuzzy Wuzzy as it thinks sausages are natural
enemies and will attempt to
outstare it.
There's one rule you must follow above all others: Never, never ever, allow a Fuzzy Wuzzy to get wet. It can't swim.
And now you know...
