He often approaches you because he wants to be squished and poked. He gets very happy when taken for walks, but falls into despair if you take him straight to the hospital. He does not speak. He loves you and pizza. If you put pineapple on his pizza, he will melt. He takes very long baths. Sometimes he sits inside a rice bowl. His colors will dull if he feels stress. For example, if he is ignored or not fed. He is terrible at exercise; it takes him a minute and a half to run 50m at full speed (a normal ball takes about 30 seconds).
