Kaag The Smoozy

Age: Between a week to a month.

Gender: Other

Species: Non-Pony

Appearance: Kaag is basically a large featureless mass of goop. A vaguely pony-shaped pile a shade of color somewhere between lime & light purple. The sort of color you would get if you chewed both a piece of grape & watermelon gum together, spat out the faded lump and molded into into a quadruped shape. <br /><br /> Kaag has no eyes or other distinguishing marks, but keeps the vague shape & size of a young colt. The upper ridge of its "head" appears to form a line like a forward-facing mane of wavy hair, but it could just as well be a bumpy border.<br /><br /> Kaag does have a tail as well, but it partly melds into the back legs whenever its edges touch them. <br /><br /> It has a constant current of its coat of slime that flows from its head down to its hooves or dripping off other hanging parts of its anatomy. These small droplets will then either be trodden on, or somehow be pulled towards the back hooves to rejoin the mass and recycle back up towards the head. <br /> <br /> Because of its goopy composition, Kaag is quite resilient. You could lift its head right off its "shoulders" then shove it into its torso, only to have it reform and pop right back into place. Frequently, Kaag will prefer to walk right into obstacles in its way & just reform back together once it has passed. Why, it'd be unstoppable if it had enough intelligence to care about going anywhere. You could do just about anything with Kaag, rip out a chunk to spread over newspaper to copy an image, push it, pull it, blow bubbles & make funny noises with it. <br /><br /> Kaag doesn't really have any need to eat. While it does prefer shiny objects like its progenitor before it, it gains most of what it needs by accumulating dirt & debris from just walking around. Getting caught in a sudden downpour or other spray of water will dissolve it for a bit, but after a day or so it will slowly reassemble itself.

Cutie Mark: If it does have one, it'd also be a pile of goo the same color of the pile of goo it already is, so it would be rather hard to tell.<br /><br />

Personality: Kaag has the mind of a small filly, inanely trusting, greedy at times, a tendency to squeal when it wants something and to follow its "Mother" around blindly. Kaag is also friendly.<br />Very friendly.<br />Very, very, very, very friendly.<br />Like if you have any inclination of not wanting to get coated in a tingly, oddly fruity layer of slime then you may want to keep backing away slowly & surely.<br /><br /> Much in the same way Kaag treats any new object its interested in, it will openly "hug" new friends in a manner not unlike you just walked into a waist-deep wad of warm jello. Celestia help you if you haven't had the experience before of controlling your gag reflex. Kaag only does this out of wanting to know & familiarizing itself with new friends & family. It has absolutely no concept of how it may greatly alarm other ponies with its unique & very panicking appearance.

Backstory: After the fateful & very remember-able night that Discord brought his "special guest" The Smooze to the the royal gala; Rarity was rightfully exhausted.<br /><br /> The moment she got home, she took off her designer dress, half-heartedly shook it off a couple of times, tossed it in the antique laundry basket, took an hour-long bubblebath & only spent a half hour of her usual hour-long pre-bedtime beauty regimen before collapsing into her canopy bed sighing & praying that she could forget such a horrid, disgusting evening. But her evening still wasn't done with her.<br /><br /> One small, remaining droplet wormed its way out of the wicker of her hamper & slowly wobbled its way around her boutique floor whilst she slept. After a few moments of uncoordinated fumbling, the little bead soon found itself gravitating towards Rarity's gem closet.<br /><br /> When Rarity awoke that morning, she rolled over to meet muzzle to mucousal muzzle with an ooze the size & shape of a young colt calling her Mommy in its little, burbly voice. The resultant screech woke up half of Ponyville & the neighboring Everfree. Nopony paid it much attention however, as most of Ponyville already had most of their alarm clocks set to Rarity's morning theatrics already. <br /><br /> Either from its contact with pony DNA or its imprinting on Rarity, Kaag prefers to stay in pony shape and follows its surrogate mother around like a duckling, very much so to the particularly persnickety pony's persistent pain.<br /><br /> While I haven't much planned for the story beyond this point, I see Rarity frantically searching out another certain practitioner of erratic magic who's opinion she doesn't hold high enough to risk mentioning it to someone who she fears might snicker at the indelicate situation as would Discord or the local alicorn.
