Seraplinn
Seraplinn is a harmless NPC in Playfluff. She resembles a mature Angeloon with a blimp on its body.
According to the Toytown Catalog, Seraplinn is said to be a close relative of Skyraphines, much like Angeloons, but this has not yet been confirmed. She is also theorized to be one of the first toys the Toymaker created for Toytown Co.
Appearance
Seraplinn appears as a more mature version of an Angeloon. She has slightly longer blue hair, larger wings, and more defined limbs, hands, torso, and chest. She seems to be wearing a light blue, sleeveless leotard that exposes her ample cleavage, and she has a large, seemingly inflated pelvis. She also wears a white dress with an open front and knee-length high heel boots.
Her most prominent feature, however, is the large blue blimp connected to her bottom. The blimp has four wings around its rear and a small pink heart on its tip. On the bottom of the blimp are sixteen fragile, glowing pink orbs with hearts on them, eight on each side. These orbs serve as weak points and contain helpful items, including but not limited to toy parts, vigor juice, or smile juice.
Behavior
Seraplinn only appears in a few specific locations throughout the entire game, under specific conditions. She drifts peacefully just beyond the borders of the map layout, out of reach of even Skyraphines, paying no attention to nearby enemies, Playfolk, or leaders. She emits an echoing, soothing ambiance when she is nearby and occasionally hums to herself, which can be a good indicator of her presence. She will occasionally stop just by a ledge with her blimp at the reach of Playfolk, where she will linger for some time before flying back up to continue wandering.
If a Playfolk touches one of the sixteen orbs on Seraplinn's blimp, it will instantly pop and release either smile juice, vigor juice, or toy parts onto the ledge she is on. Which items the player can receive from the orbs is predetermined whenever she spawns, and will always sum up to 4 drops of smile juice, 4 bundles of 4 modeling clay each, 5 random toy parts whose type depends on the recommended types for the cave in which the Serablimp is currently, and 3 drops of vigor juice. There is no way to determine which orbs contain what until they are popped.
When an orb is hit, Seraplinn giggles to herself from the sensation. Once a few orbs are popped, Seraplinn will quickly recoil and fly upwards, out of sight, sometimes leaving behind a final gift of either a drop of smile juice, a drop of vigor juice, two modeling clay, and two piles of toy parts, depending on which of them the player didn't receive from the orbs beforehand. After this, she will not appear again until the player enters another cave she can spawn in or re-enters the cave she was in, and meets the requirements for her to respawn again.
Etymology
Seraplinn is a combination of seraph or seraphic and a corruption of zeppelin.
Trivia
- Seraplinn is one of the few enemies in the Playfuff that seek to assist the player (though she and her Angeloons cannot entirely be classified as enemies themselves).
- Although Seraplinn disappears when her orbs are destroyed, this does not count as defeating her-- instead, the Toylopedia lists how many items the player has collected from her.
- This is also the case with Angeloons and the Piggy Banker family.
