Flocker

Flockers

"Each Tiny Planet has its own distinctive Flocker population. More often than not, it’s these social creatures that Bing and Bong are helping out of a jam. Whether it’s cleaning out-of-reach windows or fortifying a house to withstand wind, Flockers are a perpetual source of problems begging to be solved. The Flockers do not speak."

Most flockers from the Planet of Self and some from the Planet of Stuff have two heads. Flockers from the Planet of Sound, the Planet of Nature, and the Planet of Technology are bipedal, while the rest only have one leg each. While almost all flockers do not have arms, there have been three exceptions- 'The Diva', from the episode Hear My Song, a flocker on a flockercycle in Gone With the Wind, and a Sound flocker in The Guide to the Tiny Planets.

In the Tiny Planets virtual world, flockers of all kinds are present throughout the Home Planet and will initiate a general knowledge quiz when clicked on by the player. Grey two-headed 'bad flockers' will attempt to steal the player's gems out in space.

Flockers are somewhat bird-like, given their appearances (Some possess feathers, however, the flockers on the Planet of Self may have scales), the fact that they lay and hatch from eggs, and the sounds they make. There was also a series of tweets from the Tiny Planets Twitter page that further implied flockers to be bird-like.

Bing: The flockers are in an uproar!

Bong: Why? What happened?

Bing: We forgot that February is National #Bird-Feeding Month

Bong: Uh oh, we’d better head to the Tiny Planet of Technology and start baking

Bing: Yes, I think the Flockers prefer chocolate cake. I’ll bring the recipe book

Bong: Imagine, the birds on Earth mainly eat seeds - they don’t know what they’re missing!

Bing: I just hope we can find the flockers. Could you help us spot the flockers so we can deliver our cakes?
