DISCOVERED BY: Oliver

FROM: St Margarets, UK

DATE: 19 June, 2010

TILES USED: 19

CREATURE: Palatailsnail

COMMENT: The palatailsnail is like the garden-variety palasnail except for its long mucousy tail. This makes it a favourite of predators, who can simply pick them up by their tail, swing them around a few times, them tenderise them on the nearest rock. Delicious!



DISCOVERED BY: Cameron

FROM: London, UK

DATE: 19 June, 2010

TILES USED: 17+19

CREATURE: Palamarckians

COMMENT: Palamarckians are fish that decided to grow legs so they could wander out of the water and check out what was happening on the Archipalago. They initially missed being legless, until they discovered fermented coconut juice.



DISCOVERED BY: Zoe

FROM: Nelson, NZ

DATE: 11 May, 2010

TILES USED: 47

CREATURE: Palarachnid

COMMENT: The Palarachnid is one of the few creatures that will attack a Palabug due to it finding the Palabug's antenna delicious. Unfortunately, Palabugs find the Palarachnid equally delicious.



DISCOVERED BY: Jim Risner

FROM: Nelson, NZ

DATE: 22 April, 2010

TILES USED: 48

CREATURE: Palastic Domestic

COMMENT: In future Palagonia, housework is a thing of the past. All chores are done by your Palastic Domestic. Instead of hands it has whirling rags so whatever it touches becomes sparkling clean. And instead of feet it has a hover-hoover attachment which allows it glide about silently and vacuum the floor at the same time. (This model comes with 50's housemaid hair-do so as to be completely non-threatening).

DISCOVERED BY: Damásdi Gábor

FROM: Kiskunfélegyháza, Hungary

DATE: 27 February, 2010

TILES USED: 48

CREATURE: Giant palasnails

COMMENT: This is a giant palasnail pair. Palasnails are different from normal snails. The aren't hermaphrodites. The upper one is male and the other is female. Their favorite food is palacorn. Palagonians don't like them becaus they eat lots of palacorn.



DISCOVERED BY: Cameron Browne

FROM: London, UK

DATE: 21 January, 2010

TILES USED: 48

CREATURE: Palagoyle

COMMENT: Palagoyles are fierce looking creatures that perch on palace rooftops to ward off evil spirits by spitting rainwater at them. This role is largely ceremonial, however, as most evil spirits don't mind getting wet and those that do can just come back when it's not raining. The difference between palagoyles and gargoyles is that palagoyles don't gargle the rainwater.



DISCOVERED BY: Caed

FROM: Christchurch, NZ

DATE: 13 January, 2010

TILES USED: 48

CREATURE: Palateddy

COMMENT: Palateddies are thought to be related to the Panda bear, but on another Planet. They like to swing from pylons and nibble on no.8 wire.



DISCOVERED BY: Helen Gilbert

FROM: London, UK

DATE: 11 January, 2010

TILES USED: 48

CREATURE: Palamenco dancer

COMMENT: This Palamenco dancer emerged while I was playing with the tiles at a dinner party last night. I think she's enjoying herself, but it's hard to say for sure as it looks like she's swallowed a snail and was drawn by Picasso on an especially abstract day. Note the two balls she's juggling as she dances - that's not easy! She uses all 48 tiles.

FROM: Upper Moutere, NZ
