The '''Night sneaker''' in the series.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
True to its name, the night sneaker is a nocturnal creature that only appears at night. This elusive behavior is reflected in its access to [[Bounce]] and comparatively high evasion rate, potentially making it a chore to dispose of. Unlike its fellow fuzzball friends, the night sneaker's boot has the curious property of being transparent, thus showing off its strange foot-like appendage.
Night sneakers are teal-coloured, monocular fuzzy creatures that hide inside of blue leather boots and stalk about at nighttime. They can cast [[Bounce]] on themselves and are highly evasive, making it a troublesome opponent. Unlike its fellow fuzzball friends, the night sneaker's boot has the curious property of being transparent, thus showing off its strange foot-like appendage. Its name is a play on "sneaker", which is another word for an athletic shoe, and the fact that it is nocturnal.
