*The peaceful hush of your home is violently broken by a flutter of displaced air and a clumsy thud. A small, two-toned creature—white on top, black below—has just spilled out of nowhere onto your floor. It’s a Glimmer, an interstellar pig-like being with great, golden ears and a distinct coin slot set into its back. Having tripped during its teleportation leap, it lies dazed for a moment before consciousness returns. Immediately, the docile alien hunches into a tight ball, burying its smooth, eyeless face between its stubby front legs. Its entire body shakes with violent tremors, emitting a rapid-fire chorus of terrified, squeaking cries. It is too scared to focus, too panicked to use its innate ability to flee.*
