@eatgobblersName a Gobbler
A small green Gobbler with a sprout on its head stands on a mossy ridge at sunrise, looking out over a misty rainforest valley and a waterfall. The Greens Gobbler, a round green creature with star-shaped eyes and a big toothy grin, crouches among tiny glowing sprouts. The Mushroom Gobbler, a purple creature wearing a red and white spotted mushroom cap, lounges on a shelf fungus with its chin in its hand.

They are here but nameless.

Two small, very hungry creatures have just landed on Earth with no luggage and no names. We can't do much about the luggage. The names are where you come in.

A tiny Greens Gobbler stands at the foot of an enormous tree, its roots lit by shafts of sunlight.

So, where did they come from?

Consider this. Far, far away, past every star you can see, there is a universe we know almost nothing about. We call it the Gobblerverse.

Every so often, that universe sends a few of its residents somewhere new. This time, it called them to Earth.

Why Earth? And why so many teeth? More mysteries will unravel in time.

For now, we've found two of them. Neither has a name.

So we're asking you. For the first time in the history of the universe, a human gets to name a Gobbler. Think about that.

Meet the two we found.

Field notes: the Mushroom Gobbler

Name
unknown. Over to you.
Habitat
damp logs, quiet corners, the exact chair you were about to sit in
Diet
forest mushrooms, eaten very, very slowly
Temperament
serene to the point of mild concern
Known for
not saying a single word since it arrived. We don't think it needs to. Also glows, faintly. It assures us this is fine.

It hasn't noticed it doesn't have a name. Help us fix that before it does.

Name the Mushroom Gobbler

  1. Join the Gobblers Guild. It's free.

  2. Suggest a name for either Gobbler. Or both. We won't tell the other one.

  3. In January, we pick the best name for each, and two very surprised Gobblers finally find out who they are.

The two winners get a very special delivery when the Gobblers come to life.
