Hildy the Heckling Hydra

Ever the heckler, Hildy has been able to get away with her commentary for years for the simple reason if she got carried away and lost her head, she'd just grow back two more. But now her cranial follicles have dried up and she can no longer produce additional noggins. At the rate she's going, she'll be a headless hydra before the year's out!

Your befriendship will go toward counseling to help Hildy learn how to interact with others without losing her head. She has but 3 left. Sadly, when she loses one, two do not grow back.

Igor - eaglet

IGOR - This sweet little eaglet was born blind, and thus, not able to fly. He was found with a broken wing on the rocks below his birth nest. Both his mother and father disowned him, and he is in need of a cozy home. He is quiet and gentle, and requires little care—the perfect companion for someone housebound.

AGE: 29 days
LIKES: Gummy worms
QUIRKS: His gate is akin to that of Charlie Chaplin's "tramp." Igor is fond of executing pivot turns when out for a walk, often tripping up his caregiver.

Keiko the baby baku

When you sponsor Keiko, we will make
a donation to Save the Elephants
As is part and parcel of being a baku, little Keiko has the head of an elephant, the ears of a rhinoceros, the legs of a tiger, the body of a bear, and the tail of a cow. This has left this sweet creature with what can only be described as an "identity crisis."

Your sponsorship will not only be applied to Keiko's feeding and grooming, but will help cover the costs of her psychological counseling, which at present is extensive and ongoing.

BREED: Baku
AGE: 209
HABITAT: The fantasy forest
DIET: Devours nightmares
LIKES: Children (to play with, not eat)
QUIRKS: Best friend is a platypus
DANGER POSED: Don't call on her too often, or you'll risk the loss of your hopes and dreams

"Legend has it that a person who wakes up from a bad dream can call out to baku. A child having a nightmare in Japan will wake up and repeat three times, "Baku-san, come eat my dream." Legends say that the baku will come into the child's room and devour the bad dream, allowing the child to go back to sleep peacefully. However, calling to the baku must be done sparingly, because if he remains hungry after eating one's nightmare, he may also devour their hopes and desires as well, leaving them to live an empty life. The baku can also be summoned for protection from bad dreams prior to falling asleep at night. In the 1910s, it was common for Japanese children to keep a baku talisman at their bedside."

Albert - former dragon

ALBERT - This handsome sea serpent is actually a dragon whose wings were cut off for use in illicit aphrodisiacs, as has once again become common in Dimension Xi, despite severe penalties. We rescued him from a county refuse site where workers reported hearing wailing emanating from a massive mound of trash.

AGE: 856 years
LIKES: Hot wings. (He's well aware of the irony.)
QUIRKS: While Albert has taken well to the water, he misses flying. Parasailing outings are highly encouraged to keep his spirits soaring.

When you befriend this creature, a donation will be made in your name to the Seal Beach Animal Care Center.
