Singlish is a Water-type Creo obsessed with digging holes in the ocean floor to find sunken treasures.
Around humans, Singlish are shy but also deeply enthralled by the smallest of trinkets. Divers occasionally spot them darting toward reflective gear before retreating. They are difficult to keep captive, as confinement dulls their curiosity and causes them to lose interest in feeding.
Biology
Singlish is easy to miss from above, as its powder-blue scales blend into the sunlit waters above the reefs and seabeds that it inhabits. If one could observe it underwater, Singlish often has flecks of dirt and sand obscuring its faint shimmer.
Singlish survive on small crustaceans, mollusks, sea worms, and edible fragments uncovered during digging.
Singlish have an 18-year lifespan. They traverse their environment by paddling close to the seafloor, using their fins to dig, glide, and vanish into sediment clouds.
Singlish inhabit coral reefs known for their highly reflective, multi-faceted shiny structures. These environments both shelter them from predators and endlessly stimulate their natural attraction to glittering objects. Singlish sift tirelessly through sand and sediment in search of lost coins, polished stones, broken relics, and naturally reflective shells. While these objects have little practical use, Singlish instinctively hoard them in hidden burrows beneath the reef. Curiously enough, Singlish are not possessive of their hoards. They do not seem to mind at all if they return to find all their precious loot plundered, and they happily start all over again.
They are peaceful and non-aggressive and are tolerated by other Creo, as they pose no threat and help aerate seabed soils through constant excavation. Singlish do not migrate far, typically remaining within a single reef system for most of their life.
