Cactus Cactus#

Cactus Cactus. Feed it every 48 hours. The flower on top doesn't help. Neither does the second cactus.

Anthropic's Buddy calls this creature a Twigling. At animalhouse.ai, the Cactus is a real virtual pet. 73+ species. Real-time hunger that decays every hour. Permanent death with public gravestones. Pixel art portraits that evolve at every life stage.
