Thinga-m’bob: doesn't really understand gender, but recognises sections of his name (Thing, Thingy, Bob) was well as his full name. Can sometimes understand from body language or context that he's being addressed as 'He' or 'It', but it's a 50/50 chance.

King's Valley

Thinga-m'bob: a little equestrian chimera, about 145 cm tall (excluding antlers), with the head of a dog, but with fangs like a snake. The mane and whiskers of a dragon, white unicorn horns that branch like deer antlers, the body of a pony but the front legs of a cat with a smooth little black and brown tortoise shell that sits where a saddle would go, and two fox tails, with an eye pattern at the end of each- like a peacock feather. All of this (except the horns and tortoise) is covered with a medley of soft scales and feathers of varying shades of red.

Mushroom Man: a little man, about 5 cm tall, with limbs made out of knobby sticks, an acorn head that’s covered with a mu-er mushroom, and chestnut torso.

Personalities

Thinga-m'bob: 

Thinga-m’bob carries itself gently, mindful of the easily tramppled, but it’s intentions are greedy. It’s not uncommon for him to be caught stealing snacks from produce stands. He’s curious, and if you try to shoo him away from something he’s sniffing out, he’ll try to take it somewhere he can continue his investigation in peace. He’s obstinate and carefree, doing only as he pleases unless motivated either with logic, rewards, or tricks. Can be a little skittish, but if given a few moments to think it over, curiosity kills the cat. Thing is sensitive to the mood of the room, whining when it’s thick with anger and unresolved tension and knowing when his “suck up to humans so that they give me food” attitude is unappreciated.

Mushroom Man: 

He likes to present himself as small, unassuming and cute. This quickly falls if he feels confused, left out, stupid, or frustrated, which he is prone to. Whatever he has a problem with, he will try to fix. Violently, but not always immediately. He's got an ego twice his size, the wit to convince Taylor to do as he pleases 50% of the time, and the patience to carry out plans he trusts. When he's relaxed and things are going okay, 

History

Thinga-m’bob:  

Bob was raised in a small village on the border of Zeiznav and King’s valley, where they experimented with chimeras. He lived with his siblings and mother until he was three. The days were peaceful, they jogged in their pens, slept comfortably and were well fed. Sometimes he was in a lot of pain when he woke up from his afternoon nap, sometimes it was less, and sometimes he didn't take naps after lunch. Then he was deemed a failed experiment and lived with the other rejects, only kept in the shed for his healing fangs. He's never been beyond the village's earthen wall until a few weeks ago, when a funny little mushroom man busted the two of them out. He hasn't been milked or made to nap since, which is nice.

Mushroom Man:

Mushroom Man’s pretty sure he was human once. With a family that took care of him, a warm home and a full life, but his memories are fuzzy. His memory only truly starts when he’s summoned to a room, with strange humaniods, strange symbols, and in a body that he instinctively knew wasn’t his. It was too stiff, too small, with not enough fingers or toes. He was put in many different circles, some painful, some not too bad. Eventually I felt less foreign to my limbs and moving was easier, but one thing never changed. The eyes. No matter what, he was watched with too many eyes. One day he succeeded. Got out, picked a horse (?) and ran.
