Is Nilby an Insect?

I am trying to determine how to categorize Nilby on the SARC (http://eggcave.com/forums/topic/44600/0#1041654)

Going to reach out to Egg Cave for a decision.

I think it's just a small mammal/rodent but has leaves on it and is green x3

It looks like a little mouse to me. They're super cute!

A unique rodent? xD

@ampratt @insanegoldfish @immortalraven it seems like the mammal/Rodent option is winning. But the info does say they lay eggs which isn't very mammal like.

@gabrieltaft Because Creatures laying eggs has to make sense, right? 😋

I mean come on, an elephant from an egg? A bunny from an egg? Nope.

@gabrieltaft
Yeah, but it's a game o3o They're all a bit weird xD

@poof @immortalraven haha that's true! Can't believe I said that.

@gabrieltaft
The original suggestion post says it's based on the actual animal called the "bilby" c:


Psssh~ Even stuffed animal dolls & robots can lay eggs 8D

Yeah, sorry for saying that wasn't thinking right! xp

I put the Nilby under Mammal -> Critter

@gabrieltaft

Dude platypuses lay eggs and echidnas! So maybe it's a combo of the echidna and bilby?
