The Vorticon's arch enemy!
No, it's not keen. It's these aliens, called the Nortrivontic, who look like short red-orange cat-like people. They have long, cat-like tails and wear yellow suits. Oh, and they don't jump. So, they're basically anti-Vorticons. Here's an animated GIF I made ( with my GIFing magic):
And here's them up close:
They're really smart, and very technologically-minded. Not like Vorticons at all. I'm putting them in my NaNoWriMo novel.

cute closeup, I like the ears, although they look a bit bat-like to me.

To be frank, it would fit a Keen 1 mod much better than a novel. Have you considered that?

Is this parodying the name of NaoWoRaGaga? Otherwise I think something like Feliant might be a cleaner name..

You're not supposed to like them. THEY'RE EVIL!
(actually, I like these guys a lot)
The name Nortrivontic is the letters of "Vorticon" all mixed and mashed together. I made them up for the sole purpose of putting them in my novel. They alwaysss exxxtend theirrr RRRs and SSSs, becaussse they'rrre like catsss. Purrrrrring and hissssssing, you know.

I hope you play on that cat-ness a lot. The Vorticons seem to be a gregarious people, much like dogs, so it would be appropriate for the Nortrivontic to be the opposite, making their world fractious and anarchic in opposition to the unitary state of Vorticon VI. I mean, that's obviously not the only route you can take, but...that's how I picture a world run by cats would be like...

No offense but if you try to make this image popular it might be a rival formortimermcmirestinks wrote:

I am going to reply with your image to every senseless post I see now.

Yeah, the Vorticons are sort of happy and cheerful, they jump, and they aren't exactly the brightest pen in the shed. The Nortrivontic (plural of Nortrivontic) are mean, cruel, crouching, waiting, smart piratey guys.
