Oingos are round oinking creatures found throughout Hanaq, known for their ability to grow various edible plants on their backs. These beloved monsters serve as both food and a sustainable harvesting source in many communities.
Characteristics
Oingos are small to medium-sized creatures with round, plump bodies. Their most distinctive feature is the vegetation that grows from their backs, which can range from fruits and vegetables to herbs and tubers.
They have small, cute faces with expressive eyes and are often depicted as having a contented, sleepy expression. They are usually quiet, aside from the occasional grunt or oink.
Breeds
The primary characteristic that sets Oingos apart is their ability to grow edible plants on their backs. These "fruiting bodies" can include:
- Fruits (e.g., berries, citrus)
- Vegetables (e.g., tomatoes, squash)
- Herbs and spices (e.g., basil, paprika)
- Tubers (e.g., potatoes)
The type of produce an Oingo grows is largely determined by the flavor profile of its parents fruiting bodies, leading to a wide variety of Oingo breeds across Hanaq.
