  1. They look like illustrations for a kids book. Speaking of kids, I think those "cute but deadly" aliens are a lot like mine. :)

  2. Only if by pet you mean I can keep them chained at intervals and use them like a defensive perimeter. That would be the only way.

  3. Most of those were more deadly than cute. I thought the final version was the best.
