I don't know if Beeble is a great choice for "Unknowable Blue/White creature". It certainly wins points in the "I haven't the faintest clue what they're doing" category, and also gets bonus point because it doesn't seem likely that they will ever help the Mirrans in any real way. But they have been used for comic relief in the past, so I don't know if anyone would take this creature type seriously (or should, really) and that may break the setting. I really don't want to do Spirits for Blue-White, because that does break theme. How do you have a bunch of blue/white spirits in a world which doesn't have blue/white creatures?
Anybody have an opinion on these buggers? Do you think Beebles would make the set become "OMG, he has beebles. I haven't the faintest clue what the rest of his plot has to do with these Beebles, though, because all I'm going to focus on is Beebles. Beebles, beebles, beebles."
Beebles were there too.
@jmg: Some players definitely would have that reaction, but... surely that's a good thing? :P
@Alex: Hopefully. I think I'm a bit torn because I don't think I can give Beebles a logical culture and/or background. But, I also don't have to, because they're supposed to be alien to the Mirrans. But that doesn't mean that I don't want to know what's going on. And thus, I spend nights in bed, tossing back and forth, worrying over Beebles.
