SUBRIZO - TIMELINE #4333298

(Timeline Tuesday #16)

Subrizo’s a small humanoids that range in height between two and three feet. Their skin is rough and leathery, with a distinctly orange coloration. The eyes of the subrizo are brilliant yellow, and their long, sharp teeth protrude from a wide mouth. Despite their fang filled maw, subrizo’s are not carnivores, happily enjoying a diet similar to that of an average human.

These creatures have unusually long fingers and toes, as well as large pointed ears, but the most distinct feature of the subrizo is the pair of hollow protrusions perched atop their heads. These extensions are an important part of the creature’s biology, and are very specific to the subrizo.

Known as confetters, these organs are constantly at work creating colorful confetti that looks and resembles its paper counterpart. The subrizo’s protrusions fill with confetti over a period of one to seven days, depending on how much the creature eats during this time.

Subrizo culture is built entirely around shock and surprise. These creatures will find any reason to jump out and startle someone, and often communicate important emotions through this unusual method. In addition, subrizos verbally convey points with a high pitched, gurgling tone, but this communication is mostly used for technical matters, rather than emotional or artistic discussions.

Because of their reliance on interaction through surprise, it is not uncommon to see two or more subrizos leave and return multiple times over the course of a conversation. When these creatures want to emphasis a particular point, they will eject a portion of confetti from their head stalks.

While relatively harmless, subrizos are often seen as a nuisance due to their predisposition of showing up in private places, or making surprise attempts at inappropriate times.
