*happily skips off to find out what sort of adorable creature is a Neshomeh*
...
Oh.
...
Oh dear.
Um.
*wibble* You poor, poor misshapen thing. I... I will love you always, for I created you. II^II
~Neshomeh has a sad now.
So Calliope found this: http://niche-game.com/nicheling-explorer/. It generates a creature based on a name you give it: entirely nonrandomly, too: type in the same name at two different computers, any time, you'll get the same results.
We've been putting our PPC names and all the other PPC names into it to see what happens, and then someone shared it with the Discord. So I figured, why should you lot miss out on the fun? Post your nichelings in the thread, if you feel like it.
Mine:
The gang!
I am particularly fond of how spiky the Notary looks. It fits her character very well. =]
... the Doktor's expression.
That is a Nicheling that is ready to play the Sousaphone bombastically and with vigour.

I did two: one based on my username and one based on my nickname...

These both look kinda weird. I am first a weird purple squirrel-thing and then a creepy predator. Both with sheep horns. It's weird.

Huinesoron & Kaitlyn. Apparently I am a flightless bat, and my wife is a... sort of bear crossed with a fiddler crab.
The Illian family - Dafydd, Tanfin, Jasmine, Belladonna, Daphne, Oleander, and Constance. :D Mooooost of them seem to take after their mother, though Jas' has inherited Dafydd's spines.
This is super surreal. :D :D :D

~Neshomeh has a sad now.
Undeterred by her initial failure positive learning experience, Neshomeh went back to the lab, certain she had worked out the kinks in her genetic matrices, and soon produced three new lines of creatures:
Response Center 1110
(Golden shark-thing, possibly blind. Okay, sure.)
(Gall only gets her first name because it comes out way cooler this way than it does with her full name.)
(LOL, wut? {X D )
Response Center 999
(Pointy hedgehog-wolf-thing. Appropriate!)
(Headgear. Kinda cute. Appropriate! Also looks enough like Dafydd that I can understand people getting them mixed up. ^~ )
Response Center 31-C-14

(Dat jaw. Wow.)

(Definitely not related to Jenni, despite sharing a surname. [How does this thing work, anyway?] You can't see it here, but he has a dorsal shark fin, too.)
Clearly there are still some bugs to be worked out, particularly a tendency toward wildly mismatched forelimbs, but overall, I have to say this was a vast improvement over the first experiment!
~Neshomeh couldn't be bothered to combine the images together; the background gradients make it impossible to do cleanly without way too much work.
