Twonkie

Twonkies are a non-humanoid species of life form from the comet known as Twonkus 3.

Attack of the Twonkies[]

After school, Jimmy made preparations to travel to the comet of Twonkus 3. As a result, Jimmy headed for the comet that arrived in Earth's orbit. After returning with samples of the comet, he discovers that a small creature that stowed away aboard his ship. Reluctant about the owning of alien pets, Jimmy gives one to Carl Wheezer and then soon everyone has them. It's then that they are exposed to good music that these little things evolve and become very violent. Jimmy then seeks a way to stop them and finds that Sheen Estevez's Twonkie has not evolved. This is because of his obnoxious singing voice that got him rejected from the chorus. It is then that Jimmy finds the more evolved Gromps and Stompers are building a rocket to escape from Earth and return home. They also encounter the final form of the Twonkie that Jimmy encountered on Twonkus 3.

Despite them leaving, it is later discovered that not all of the Twonkies have escaped and some remain on Earth.

Biology[]

Twonkies are non-humanoid and relatively harmless in their more devolved state. They normally remain adorable so long as they remain unexposed to good music. If ever exposed to good music, Twonkies evolve into more hostile evolutions. Despite them being one species, they have different variations and each individual Twonkie is evolved in a different way.

Abilities[]

Superhuman Durability Twonkies are known to be very tough, even in their more devolved form of being. This durability makes them able to withstand a variety of different attacks. This makes them almost indestructible. They are even durable enough to withstand a variety of different energy rays and blasts.
Superhuman Strength: While the less evolved form of Twonkie lacks strength, more advanced forms like Gromps and Stompers possess the capability to lift heavy objects overhead.
Bouncing: Twonkies can bounce around walls.
Adaptive Camouflage: Twonkies are also known to have the ability to change their colors to make themselves almost invisible to the naked eye.
Skateboard Proficiency: Twonkies have "excellent motor skills", able to proficiently ride a skateboard.
Mechanical Engineering:

Weaknesses[]

Anti-Music: Although virtually unstoppable and indestructible, Twonkies usually evolve from good music. If ever exposed to someone with a terrible singing voice, Twonkies will start to fall asleep. Exposed to even a recording of anti-music causes them to fall unconcious.
Non-Intelligence: While they are considered sapient, they don't seem to be very smart by human standards.

Reproduction[]

Twonkies reproduce asexually, usually the offspring exit the oral passage of the parent. Gromps and Stompers cannot due this, only the Twonkies in their most devolved form allow them to reproduce. Baby Twonkies grow within a timespan of 24 hours and produce a new generation of Twonkies. An adult Twonkie is capable of producing a litter of 30 Twonkies at a time.

Evolutionary Stages[]

As an evolutionary-based species, Twonkies have a maximum of 4 stages of evolution they undergo via exposure to good music.

Twonkie[]

Twonkies are small, armless, and ball-like in their early stages of evolution. These creatures are generally considered adorable and are liked by many; however, they are the only beings capable of reproduction.

Stompers[]

If ever exposed to good music, the small and adorable Twonkie will start coughing and develop black eyes. They then turn into the second stage of their evolution known as the Stompers. These things are known to be hostile when encountered and despite their size, are very strong.

Gromps[]

Stompers who are exposed to music for prolonged periods of time, evolve even further into the more destructive third evolutionary stage known as Gromps. Gromps are described as more monsterous than their less evolved counterparts and are strong enough to lift and throw tables at doors.

Adult Gromps[]

The final stage of Twonkie evolution results in the adults, known as Mongros. These creatures are much larger and stronger than their predecessors, making them the largest and most formidable of all the evolutionary stages. Mongros typically emerge when a group of Twonkies is trapped and exposed to music. Following this exposure, the adult Twonkie takes shape and begins to wreak havoc. They are characterized by three rows of teeth in both the upper and lower jaws, along with two larger teeth on the bottom that are bigger than the others.

Elemental Twonkies[]

Twonkies even have three rare sub-species which are identified by their own different colours, speed and types of sound that attracts them.

Lightning Twonkies[]

Dark blue electrically charged twonkies that are attracted to the sound of voices. They're slightly faster then normal twonkies and are a bit more stonier.

Ice Twonkies []

Cold blooded twonkies with light cyan skin, attracted by water sounds. They're moderately faster than lightning twonkies and cause more damage.

Dark Matter Twonkies[]

The most fortunately rarest of all other elemental twonkies. They have blackish-purple skin with red markings, extremely evil and they rather love man-made noises. Amongst the whole twonkie species, these creatures are by far the fastest and strongest, making them almost impossible to stop.

Trivia[]

Twonkies are parodies of the Mogwai and Gremlins from the 1984 movie "Gremlins" and its 1990 sequel. Just as the Twonkies change into monsters, once the Mogwais eat after midnight, and they turn into Gremlins.
Anti-music can devolve them in the video game "Attack of the Twonkies", however in the series, it just puts them to sleep.
The Twonkies' name is similar to Furbies, though it not confirmed whether or not the name of the latter inspired that of the former.
Incidentally, there was a sci-fi monster movie called that featured a monster called a Twonkie, which was a mechanical amalgam of mechanical appliances.
Their vocal effects are done by Frank Welker, who also did the vocal effects for Goddard, as well as the voice of "Stripe" from Gremlins.
In "The League of Villains", a Twonkie that looked exactly the same as the one Sheen had was left 75 million years in the past with the villains and a dinosaur.
Every time a Twonkie transforms, its evolution hasn't entirely shown.
In many episodes following Attack of the Twonkies, Twonkies are seen in the background, due to Jimmy forgetting to send Sheen's Twonkie back, and it produced offspring as a result. However, these Twonkies are not shown reacting to soothing music the same way the previous ones did in the episode and game.
- In My Big Fat Spy Wedding, a Twonkie is seen at Jet Fusion and Beautiful Gorgeous's counterfeit wedding and strangely did not evolve while listening to the song "I Have the Ring". It is possible Sheen's singing in the background somehow balanced out the effect.
- Another Twonkie was seen in Best in Show, on the Junkman’s shoulder, listening to flute music from Yuri the musical goat, Bolbi Stroganovsky's pet.
