A small creature generated just for this browser. Feed it, pet it, give it a name. It does not die. It just wonders where you went.

care instructions
"Feed it sometimes. Pet it often. It asks for nothing and waits politely. Honestly, we could all learn from it."
(no notifications. no guilt. it is a very low maintenance friend)
