Young vriki are curious and mobile, using their furry tentacles to slither and crawl up mushtrees and squeeze into tight spaces. They can live for hundreds of years, and eventually take root and become stationary nursery trees to raise the next generation. They're (usually) harmless, and can be very cuddly and affectionate. They're named for the trilling "vrrrrrikkkk" sound they make when excited. This vriki may or may not be named "Squidley Feeterson".
