[WordPress] Meet the Petz Breed: The Emmunes, Part 1!

Original Post Date: 2024-03-17

A series of six Emmunos, round creatures with large eyes and small mouths, and five Evmunis, oval creatures with large half-lidded eyes, small mouths, and third eyes, in the game Petz 4. Each variety is labelled with the internal colour code for its eye colour.

Default AC Name: Jinx (Emmuno), Eva (Evmuni)

Hexed From: Russian Blue

Reasoning: Wanted a way to care for my own fictional species.

Variations: Six Emmunos (yellow, green, magenta, red, light yellow, grey) and five Evmunis (violet, purple, red, blue, and black)

Ivy's Fave: Green Emmuno and purple Evmuni

Other Notes:

My love of the most random video game species continues, this time based off of the Emoglobins and their variants from Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, which was, as with many other people, my first Nintendo DS game.

Four block-like creatures, one yellow, one orange, one purple, and one blue. The yellow and orange ones have stylized foreheads, the purple one has stylized hair and a body, and the blue one has a stylized forehead and afro-like hair.

When I was a kid, I made a whole bunch of OC variants of those little guys, and eventually adapted them completely away from looking like Emoglobins into being more cell-like for the most part (being the science nerd I am).

These became called Emmunes, with the spherical ones being called Emmunos (based on regular Emoglobins) and the ovoid ones with limbs Evmunis (based on Evoglobins, my personal favourite of the four). You can definitely still see their inspirations in the colour schemes of the Save Emmuno and Soul Evmuni. (The other variants have names too, as seen in their LNZ sections.)

Two drawings of a Save Emmuno, a round yellow creature with large blue eyes and a small red mouth, and a Soul Evmuni, a violet oval creature with large, half-lidded white eyes, a small yellow mouth, and a red third eye.

Their lore was a lot more involved and actually kind of dark compared to the barebones info given about Emoglobins, what with the fact that Emmunes attach themselves to a host for life and the relationship is far from mutualistic.

There are other Emmunes as well based on the Nutsoglobin and healing Emoglobin, among others, which I do plan on creating breedz for, but they’re a lot more ambitious. I’ve settled for the simplest ones so far.
