Howdy all! I’ve got a Fuzzbutts character coming up that’s an outspoken conspiracy theorist. What do y’all think her species should be? I’m imagining a more unusual, perhaps obscure sort of animal, maybe one with wide googley eyes. Of course, I’ll be considering all suggestions. :3 What kind of animal would you pick for a kooky conspiracy nut?

Honestly my first pick is a Potoo bird, they look like they’ve got conspiracy theories out the ass XD

Biscuit

Mouse lemur >:D like Mort.

AwareDragon

What about an Aye-Aye? It is a primate and it looks kinda similar to what you're looking for? Or maybe a Tarsier?

Ruki

but imagine a snail

Ren

Definitely an age-aye or perhaps a red eyed tree frog? Or a bat with HUGE glasses with giant lenses as a joke with the ironic phrase “blind as a bat”. I’m excited to see what you come up with. Maybe she can have pet butterflies or moths with “eye spots” because she believes she can see things others can’t

Calastor

Bush baby was the first thing that popped into my head!

GanashiAshaka

I know it's been suggested already but all I can think of is an aye aye.

TiredGremlin

When you say googly eyes, my first thought is another lemur, called a tarsier. There's also chameleons, or for something extra off putting, an aye-aye or a slow loris? Or maybe geckos (specifically a leaf-tailed one)?

KaeWolfe

Literally thought of an Aye-Aye when you mentioned wide googley eyes lmao

Nette Marie

*Slaps cork board with red yarn and papers on it* Hear me out. Some desert dwelling animal. Like ones native to the ecosystems around New Mexico and Nevada. Like the New Mexico Whiptail, they are an all female species. Or a very odd looking species of reptile.

Robo87

-I mean aye aye just look like nature's version of the people you avoid eye contact with at the gas station. They're my first thought for "crazy" animals lol -lowland streaked tenrec. They actually have very small eyes but their yellow coloring and mixed quills and fur give them a "I just spent 16 hours watching YouTube" vibes

Emma Breslauer

There's a lot of great suggestions in the comments already, so I'd just like to second the bat and potoo bird ideas!

SketchyBug

Either a meerkat or a weasel

Doglover502

Maybe a galago (or as they're better known as, a "bush baby")?

Jason Hutzel

meerkat of course always watching always twitchy standing tall and proud.

eggoatt

the margay and slow loris both have some huge peepers. or, something else that comes to mind is a mouse deer

yaboyrobin

my very first thought was a squirrel; they can see all with their small form and climbing abilities- and dig up the truth when scouring for nuts! I also like the idea of a platypus or an aardvark in a similar digging vain- ones you don't think often of when you think of digging something up, and kinda "strange" looking

Shrike

If we're talking obscure, maybe a gerenuk? They're hella weird looking and their eyes look buggy compared to their oddly think frame.

Doxiedreg

Idk why but echidna or platypus come to mind

StarryComet

Instantly thought an Aye-Aye.

Haley Kuntz

An aye-aye for sure. They look like the "Aliens" meme guy with big yellow googley eyes.

Emily Bourassa

potoo bird,or maybe an arabian sand boa.

shield

ostrich!!

Khavitsunolyn

Maybe a Potoo or a Tarsier could fit. They have such huge, intense eyes that reminds me of the Pepe Silvia meme.

Gale

potto and aye-ayes are both good suggestions. also tarsiers look incredibly unhinged. unless you wanted something other than a mammal character, in which case leaf-tailed geckos look unhinged as well :]

Royce and Royce

Potoo, aye-aye, tarsier(!!!!), or cuscus might be good options!

Dean

Okay eyes wise this is the opposite of what you suggested but you should check out the Tibetan Fox those guys are fun. But like others have said, potoos would be good, and i love the idea of a gerenuk. However! I am very biased. I'd love you to have a lil character that was a rat, they're my favorite animal :)

CourtJesterArt

An Aye-Aye would be fun, or something folk have conspiracies, like a pigeon

DoodlebugDoge

Maybe a Potoo? Those birds with the huge eyes that get fully black in the light. It might be fitting for a weirdo conspiracy theorist

tutt3rs

A barrel-eye !

Colbyr

Ooh, so many ideas! In terms of wide googly eyes, there's always the slow loris, the tarsier, lemur, owl, and tree frog! It might be funny for the eyes to have "creepy" other qualities too, along the lines of "seeing everything"; for example, Owl might be fun because big eyes + can turn head 180° = you can never escape their gaze. Chameleon might be good for the same reason (eyes in the back of their head style). Added points because with their camouflage, no one knows if these conspiracy theories are actually all "real" secrets the character has learned from blending in to surroundings and hearing conversations they maybe shouldn't. Tree frog.... Nice big eyes, and honestly very meme-able if you want to make them look moderately unhinged >:3

Larimar

I thought slow lorris!

TheTabbyBadger

I love the pootoo idea for your visual idea. But I also love the idea of using an animal that in and of itself is unusual/conspiracy-y? A few people mentioned platypus and I love that because at first people who didn’t see living ones thought it was a hoax (granted I doubt that kind of thing happens in the FB world). That or something rare/thought to be extinct maybe? I know you’ve got a thylacine character so many another one like that? I’m excited to see this character when they debut regardless of what they end up being! :D

Mastodon

A gecko could be good if you want some googly-eyed critters! Leopard and tokay geckos, or even a crested gecko might be fun.

Vicky Hadley

Turkey vulture or some kind of gecko?

RagingRiptide

Tarsier :) or a Tasmanian Devil!

Calypso

Chameleon!

Possum

Chameleon? :o

Lex

What about an aye-aye--it's a kind of lemur with beady eyes and one really long finger on each hand

Heather Voltz

I agree. Aye-ayes are freaking wild looking.

Gleeman and Artist

And aye aye or a tarsier would fit, I think. Although I gotta admit the first thing I thought of was a sheep cause a sheep yelling "wake up sheeple!" would be kinda funny.

TheHaywaiianHorse

Dammit my comment never posted XD Was going to suggest an aye aye or a tarsier. They funny looking

Violetattack

Gecko was my first thought, with those huge unblinking eyes and weird little body
