• Groy – a small intelligent aquatic Flanimal that farms Sleeb.
• Sleeb – a slow moving bovine-like Flanimal farmed by the Groy.
• Molf – an aggressive shark-like aquatic Flanimal that only swims and kills.
• Sproy – a many 'noizelled' Flanimal that uses them to attempt to scare off predators. They only question what it’s doing though.
• Plumph – a Flanimal that can pull its eyes into its body for protection but damages its own eyes on its own poison.
• Hungloid – a large fish-like Flanimal that asks if it’s ugly, even if it knows.

• Splug – a jellyfish-like Flanimal that hates itself. They seem to be able to propel themselves.
