whim object异想之物
Whim objects are things that take shape in the Pixel Tower through whim pollution, born of human imagination (humans here meaning any causal being): an animal that really existed, or a story people believe in. Human minds give them form and can end them; the first whims were born of the fear of the pit. How they are sorted is covered under whim classification and subspecies.

the Guru尊师古卢
A Class V whim, Lord of Rainbow, pope of the Witch Church and the real master of Neon, in charge of its recycling. It is modelled on Peregrinus, victor of the Rainbow War; its main concept is 'authority', followed by 'victor', 'Guru' and 'sect head', with 'Master' (尊师) only a limiting word, which lets it rule Neon's 'prisoners' absolutely. It appears as a capricious white-haired figure whose true face is hidden in glazed light and vanishes for good in the Rainbow Reappearance; Neon's floor guardian uses its identity (true person yet to be disclosed), while a user's talk-page answer says the guardian is its prototype rather than the same being (community).

Tiaoyin Tiangou调音天狗
The Tiaoyin Tiangou is an urban legend born of rumour on Rhythm Star. It appears only at midnight under a full moon and loves stealing melodies, which it returns after seven days with their noise gone. Around July 673 it stole Rhythm Star itself and gave it back on time seven days later, then vanished, remembered by few.
