It's FIGIT FRIDAY!! :-)
Meet FIGIT, a rather temperamental sort of being, who as you might have guessed, is a bit hyper. They can be full of glee and mirth in one moment, then fretful and inconsolable in the next. An expressive being capable of great emotions, yet tiresome if your energy level is not matched with them.

Teacups. Tiny monsters.
Enjoying a peaceful moment to themselves. Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. This sleepy creature drank a bit too much sweet jasmine tea and found it hard to stay awake. Shhhhhh...
