Berger

While the Boggle may be famous for their Boggle Butter, the Berger are famous for their cheese! The Berger are master cheese-smiths, and have perfected thousands of recipes for creating some quite interesting cheese combinations.
True Funkey food connoisseurs love to attend the Berger's famous cheese tasting parties where they can debate the merits of each variety of cheese. Does the Triple-Dipple Funkberry Gouda taste better with a glass of fresh bumblejuice, or is the not so subtle taste explosion of a Dirty Berger Cheddar Platter more appropriate? It's all just a matter of taste!
The Berger have a real sense of their history. Their ancient King is preserved in a kind of plastic coating and on the display in the great Berger hall. He is a real tourist draw, attracting many visitors each day. Some find him majestic, others a bit creepy as he stares out at you with plastic eyes.
Not only do the Berger create the most delicious varieties of cheese throughout Terrapinia, they are also the cheesiest when it comes to conversation! The Berger are notorious braggarts, particularly about their cheeses, and always seem to have an obvious and artless way of making a point. They have a very effected way of speaking that makes even their most casual statements sound like conceit. "I'm soooooo happy to see you" or "please moooooove your car" come off quite arrogant. Despite this, deep down the Berger are truly good natured Funkeys!

Lucky

There's an old Funkey saying "I'd rather be Lucky than good." And nobody is more lucky than the Lucky, that is why, of course, they are called the Lucky.
Many, many years ago, The Lucky discovered, quite by accident, the secret to controlling all the rainbows in Terrapinia. The first thing they did with this skill was use it to find the pot of coins that everyone knows is at the end of rainbows. Since they have so many coins, they've never again had to work a day in their life! Because of this, the Lucky are always friendly and have a permanently sunny disposition, even when it's raining!
While the Snipe will always aggressively assert that they are the roughest, and the Wasabi may be legendary for their stealthy Funk-Fu powers, everybody really know that the Lucky are the toughest of all Funkeys! Being the toughest Funkeys around, the Lucky really don't feel any need to prove their toughness to anyone!
Not feeling a need to brag about their toughness, the Lucky instead pride themselves on the education level, frequently telling others how book smart they are. They spend considerable time keeping their minds healthy by playing challenging puzzles and word games. The Lucky have even established a very prestigious college called Our Lucky Lady University as a rival school to the Waggs' University of Soft and Cuddly. Not only is it one of the finest academic schools in Terrapinia, it also consistently has one of the best Bowball teams throughout the land. LLU's current head mistress Lucky D is not only one of the smartest Funkeys in the land, she is also one of the prettiest . . . and of course, the luckiest.

Dyer

Legend tells of a young boy, a shepherd named Dyer who was a notorious prankster, and of a gullible wolf who loved to play cards. The boy would call the wolf over and bet that he could guess what card the wolf would draw from the deck of cards. They would cut the deck, draw the card and the boy always guessed right. One day, the wolf checked the cards and found they were all the same. The boy barely escaped with his life.
The boy learned his lesson and vowed never to take advantage of another being again; to live a life of peace and harmony with all living creatures. They even befriended the Cootie, a small bug that lives on the skin of Funkeys. The Dyer realized that use of soap was killing the poor Cooties so they stopped washing and using soap.
The Dyer are fond of sleeping, or as they call it "extended deep thought sessions". The Dyer like to participate in these "deep thought sessions" in large groups, and it is not uncommon to find large groups of Dyers just lying around in parks, on the beach, or on the campuses of Our Lucky Lady and USC. Rather than speak, The Dyer write down their thoughts on small plastic discs and throw them back and forth to each other. They've even claim to have developed a mass communication method where many Dyers run around chucking the message disk back and forth. They say it is the ultimate but it is yet to catch on.

Tank

Another of Dr. Tinker's failed experiments was his quest to fix the eyesight of all Funkeys. He developed an innovative but doomed procedure to correct bad vision that he called Oasic. By playing the music of a popular Funkey band really loud right into the eyes, the lens that covers all Funkey eyes, called the Wonder Wall, was supposed to become smooth and flawless. Dr. Tinker always claimed complete success. The problem was the patients no longer produced tears. The Tank, as they became know, had to wear masks that were always filled with salt water so their eyes wouldn't dry out.
The Tank turned this affliction into a strength, and became the greatest sea explorers in the known world. The Tank are as obsessed with undersea discovery as the Xener are with space exploration.
Prior to the creation of the Dream States, the Tank had fully explored every drop in every ocean throughout Terrapinia. From the shimmering reefs of Kelpy Basin to the bottomless trenches of the Frigid Murk, there were no more mysteries of the marine to be discovered.
When the portals to Daydream Oasis were opened, and the Fractal Sea was discovered, the Tank couldn't get there quick enough. With a new ocean to explore, and amazing undersea discoveries to be made, the Tank quickly built a dock on the shores. Now they live a life of ease, every one of them has all they need, sky of blues, and seas of green, they all live in their Yellow Funkmarine!
