Algol - A sleepy demon who lives quietly on the demon-planet Klonix... that is until a spaceship crashes down and upends their community... and possibly the universe!

Scringles - An odd creature that Algol found trapped in a spaceship. What they lack in stature, they make up for in feistiness and attitude. Scringles is always on your side!

The Anuracanth - The omnipotent statue that overlooks Algol's planet, and is always hungry!




Wexia - A heavily forested planet with dangerous flora and fauna. It is the home-planet of the worm-like and quirky Wexoids.

Klonix - An ethereal planet with ghostly devices. It is home to Algol and The Anuracanth, along with some other friendly demons.

Purrafiny - This aquatic planet has a robust ecosystem of moist creatures. Beware the outpost of nefarious poachers and animal-collectors who came here.
