Friendly alien creatures which are unfairly maligned due to their bizarre appearance and misleading name. While purple people eaters are indeed purple in color, they are not named for their own coloration, but rather for the fact that they only eat purple people. Of course, since purple people are quite rare, purple people eaters rarely get the chance to indulge. Even when an opportunity to eat a purple person does come along, the purple people eater's good nature will often lead them to spare their prey anyway, often giving silly reasons why, such as because the person in question is "so tough." Purple people eaters don't really suffer for this, having adapted to go for nearly indefinite periods of time without requiring any food. That said, when a purple people eater does finally get the chance to eat a purple person, they greatly enjoy it, and have been heard to remark that it "sure is fine." Purple people eaters have a love for music, and can play music through the hollow horn on the top of their head, producing a sound very much like a saxophone's. In the rare occasion when these creatures are found on our planet, it is usually because they've come to study humanoids' musical traditions. Their two greatest loves (besides eating purple people) are rock and roll, and short shorts. |
