Lore Dumps in Furby Valentines??

So I went out and bought the Furby valentines from Walmart (very surprised my Walmart in the middle of nowhere carried them) and this is my little showcase.

The pins come in a bag separate from the cards. It only comes in the one design, and as far as I could tell (I kind of just grabbed it as soon as I saw it) that's the only one available.

The pins are roughly 2.5 cm/1 in in diameter (and yes, the image actually does look overexposed).

A complete scan of the cards, front and back, are available here.

Also they came with a sheet of little heart stickers, which apparently are supposed to seal the cards shut:

This is what a completed valentine looks like, sealed and opened:

But now we come to the reason behind the semi-clickbait title. There's been quite the debate among many over what exactly a furby is, and I feel that these officially Hasbro-licensed designs can give us some more insight.

These designs, which appear to be done by separate artists, stylize the sensors in different ways (one of the Dalmation cards even has a white sensor while the others are dark grey). This could of course just be a difference in the artists' styles (and/or a number of oversights in the designs), or it could be interpreted as furbies having different types of "crests," which could be indicative of different subspecies/breeds (like I would argue the presence of mane/tail furbies does) or just a natural variation like fur color.

And of course there's dem beaks:

Unlike the sensors, it appears both artists agreed that this is what a furby beak looks like, and the fact that these designs were approved by Hasbro officials gives it more support in my opinion. From what I gather, this sort of beak is most common among seed-eating birds, which suggests that furbies primarily eat grains (anyone more familiar with birds please correct me if I'm wrong).

And as we all know by the furbies are predators jokes, furbies had no evolutionary pressure to develop a wide range of vision, which indicates that they have no natural predators/competition. As such, I propose that furbies are basically their universe's equivalent of the kākāpō:

This ground-dwelling bird (also called the owl parrot) has the shared traits of forward-facing eyes, strong beaks made for grinding, flightlessness, and very few natural predators.

(Also PSA: the kākāpō is critically endangered with fewer than 250 individuals alive as of 2023 so please help where you can, here's a link to the New Zealand government's Kākāpō Recovery Programme).

But as to what sort of animal these little guys are? Jury's still out, because even the artists are inconsistent with whether they have feathers or fur.

These are just some interesting things I found through my brainrot, feel free to share your thoughts!

Here’s some furby lore I pulled out of my ass

Gen 1: They live in warm climates, up in the trees. No one knows how they get up there, with their lack of arms and tiny legs. They live on a diet consisting of fresh fruit from the treetops, but will also snack on the occasional bug

Gen 2: Emototronic furbies are ground dwellers, and are much more intelligent than their tree-dwelling cousins. They have big, clawed feed, which allows them to run much faster, and dig in the dirt to make their dens. To escape from predators, they will kick up dirt, temporarily blinding their pursuer so they can get away. These Furbies are carnivores, snacking on bugs and the occasional small rodent. Despite living on the ground, they’re adept climbers, and packs of furbies will often assign one to be the lookout to keep an eye out for possible predators. Above all, these furbies fear snakes, as they compete for food.

Gen 3: Furby Booms reside in cities and other urban areas, often taking shelter in alleys and in the subways. They’re omnivorous, and will eat plants, bugs, and sometimes rats if they’re lucky. They will sometimes get into scraps with rats that are larger than them, as they have no concept of how small they are and will pick fights with bigger foes. You can tell where a Boom comes from by the unique markings it possesses. Sometimes you’ll even find a boom very far from home, as they migrate over long distances when food is scarce. Over time they’ll take on the markings of the local furbies to blend in and survive.

Gen 4: There is no historical evidence of the existence of Furby Connects on this planet before 2016, leading some zoologists to believe they came from another planet. Not much is know about where they come from or what their natural diet is. They are one of the more domesticated Furbies, and seem to be able to survive on anything their humans give them. They also have strange psychic powers that seem to be connected to the antennas on their heads. They seem to be able to communicate with each other telepathically.

Gen 5: Although it is believed these furbies come from space, like the connects, others theorize that they come from the fey realm, due to their bright colours, and affinity for nature. The most recently discovered species of furby, not much is known about them. They are by far the most domesticated of all the furby species, seeming to have immediately taken to humans upon their discovery. Friendly and playful, these furbies enjoy rolling around, their spherical form aiding them to move around quickly this way. They seem to enjoy sweet things, like fruit, cakes and cookies. They are most popular with children.

Other

Hugely clever, they have long memories which enable them to build up unique language skills, and they quickly learn to play games and interact with humans. They can be multi-lingual, understanding their own language 'Furbish' as well as human languages. Also fond of music, Furbius significus is very happy when singing along in the company of another Furby.

furby biology information that im throwing together in a half asleep rambling lmao the original era - 1998, 1999 baby and shelby, these ones take the journey from furbyland to the surface. and return to furbyland as fully mature adults, for the next generation. they typically eat nuts and other hard foods that require a study beak! Emototronic era - 2005, baby. and funky furby, they too take the journey from furbyland. but they live deeper in the island. and evolve to live in tree hollows + forested areas. they overlap with the original era furby in habitat, but NOT the shelby - their diet typically tends to be soft fruits! and use their legs to climb trees and swing from vines the 2012, boom era - do not come from furbyland. nor do they return. they are suited for a diet of whatever they can get, they cant be picky when many of them are born as strays in the city and have a whole slew of competitors. , and elders of this generation tend to be mainly strays that got abandoned by their human companion and would then form clans in hidden aways corners of cities and towns they got abandoned in, this was the first generation of discovered furby eggs afterall, they began laying them on the surface and are disconnected from their homeland, but still remember the furbish language the connects are similar to the 2012 and booms.

the furby 2023 are domestic. and have health issues, mainly their beaks. young furbys go to their homes not knowing much. they dont even recognise a furblet as a baby furby, nobody taught them that. because they get seperated from their parents at a young age, they know furbish. but they're so disconnected from the rest of the furbys bc of it.

One of the earlier crude depictions of a Furby by human artists in Early 1st millennium BC., this figure, approx 21.30 cm tall; 10.20 cm wide, is proof that even early human civilizations were aware of Furbkind and chose to depict them in a similar manner as they did their gods, clearly being aware of the immense power of the Furby.

Tart was just trying to chill by the pool on the cool winter day. They loved being outside. She heard the glass door open expecting it to be Satin or even M&M as the other two didn't like the pool as much as he did. She wasn't expecting the voice they had longed to be rid of.

"Hello again Tart!" Greeted ButterMilk Pancakes a small purple and green furby.

"ButterMilk? What are you dling here" he groned slightly.

"I'm moving in!"

"You can't be serious!"

"Well I am, your just going to have to get used to me being here"

As ButterMilk went back inside Tart rolled their eyes not wanting to have to deal with her. Left with not much of a choice she'll just have to avoid ButterMilk as much as possible.

If a normal person saw me writing out the vague lore of my furbies, they’d think I’m a serial killer

Yes, my 2005 sleepy blue furby named Father Voidmoth is an omniaro Agender cultist high priest. Yes, it’s killed people. Yes he’s over 800 years old. Leave me alone.

Furby Lore

I was reading up on some Furby lore and apparently Furbys are parasitic creatures. Furbys apparently need a creature to bond with, and they came to Earth because their old host died due a fucking climate disaster, and so now they are using humans to “bond” with. So, Furbys are parasitic I guess.

Hi my name is Herbert Constanzetine El Themburger my pronouns are he/them (that’s how I got my name) and I have short ebony black hair with a blue fur and magenta accents that reaches my mid-ankles and brown eyes with a red crystal on my forehead like a limpid blood and a lot of people tell me I look like a cult leader (AN: that is correct). I’m not related to Thursday Boyporridge but I wish I was because Strange Æons is one of my favorite YouTubers. I’m a demon but my beak is round and yellow. I have dark plastic. I’m also a long furby, and I’m in a cult called the Cult of Long Furby in Ohio where I battle dark entities (i’m 24 in human years). I’m a goth (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy almost all my accessories from there. For example today I was wearing a black choker with metal spikes and little chains hanging off of it, a bootleg Tamagotchi, a beaded necklace with my name on it, A padlock earring and black eyeliner. I was slithering outside the church. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me I sprouted a shadowy hand and put up my middle finger at them.
