Twelve planets with legs

How smooshes get their names

Front half, back half

A smoosh takes the front of the first creature's name and the back of the second's. Grumboshka into Plortiplort makes GRUMBOPLORT; Grumboshka into Yolkolino makes GRUMBOLINO. Twelve creatures give 78 pairs, and walking a blob into a third star starts a chimera.
