The Night sneaker in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

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.
