ZENIBEASTS PROFILES
Discover the strange origin stories of the Zenibeasts in this one-shot comic series.
Featuring art by Lin Setzekorn.
MASHIBUNI
The unfortunate result of pollution in Myopia’s Bro Beach district. Due to the contamination of the ocean by steroids, the local sea urchins have mutated into these awesome beasts known as Mashibuni. Now, the mutated sea urchins are taking revenge on the beach locals for years of being turned into seaside Hors d'oeuvre and tacky souvenirs.
HAGURA
Hagura are aliens and are obsessed with cuteness. How could they resist the Kawaii Town District of Myopia: with its tiny humans, pastel colours, happy music and bright lights? Unfortunately, Hagura play rough: hugging buildings, playing with cars and blowing flaming kisses. Awww...
GOSHIBLOB
Goshiblobs start life as a common but harmless brain parasite, nestled in their host’s hippocampus and feeding off the host’s brain activity.
The parasites’ favourite thoughts are false information the host BELIEVES to be true. The parasite excretes a residue when feeding off these untruths (and gives the host a hit of endorphins as a reward.). The host hucks up this residue, which has emassed into the gigantic horrors that threaten Myopia today.

OJIRA
Ojira were accidentally created along side the internet. They lived undetected in the information super highway as Bytebugs, feeding on and shaped by our input. But as we all know, the internet is not a pleasant environment to be raised in. Ojira were shaped into infinitely powerful and immature beings. After growing too powerful, the Ojira broke out of the internet and into our world. Now they are on a rampage, hell-bent on ruining everyone else’s lives for their own amusement.
