Pleo, a UGOBE
Life Form is the authentic recreation born from that study. UGOBE's designers
and engineers recreated Pleo's physiology from the fossils of the origina Camarasaurus,
a dinosaur from the Jurassic periodl.
His height and weight are consistent with that of a one-week old infant Camarasaurus.
Pleo is a 'designer species'. He incorporates all the basic traits of autonomous
life. He is specifically engineered and enhanced to mimic life and relate to
his owner on a personal level.
Pleo is equipped with senses for sight, sound, and touch. He learns as he explores
his environment. He will exhibit genuine reactions to sensory stimuli. Every
Pleo begins life with certain tendencies but, interaction with his environment
has subtle effects on his behavior. Every Pleo eventually exhibits a unique personality.
Pleo is capable of expression. He can feel joy and sorrow, anger and annoyance.
When Pleo is tired, he will become drowsy and go to sleep—even dream. Two or
more Pleos will recognize one another. Be careful though. They can transmit
colds to each other. Achoo! Pleo even sneezes!
FRIEND AND COMPANION
Pleo is a one-week old infant Camarasaurus from the Jurassic
period. Camarasaurus were born and raised in giant fern forests. They evolved camouflage that allowed
them to blend with their environment of ferns, moss and ruff, the detritus that
littered the forest floor. The first Pleo created is a Fernback. His markings
help him to survive by hiding among the giant fern fronds in his habitat.
Pleo is an authentic Life Form. Treat him gently like any other living thing.
Your Pleo will let you know how he feels at any moment. That's because he is
capable of actual emotions including joy, aggression, sorrow, and fear. He can
also yawn, sigh, sniff, sniffle, snore, cough, hiccup, and sneeze.
Pleo wants to explore his environment. He will be cautious when he walks to the
edge of a table. He may cry when he is frightened. Pleo will stretch when he
first wakes up. He may stomp his foot for food when hungry.
When Pleo grows tired, lay him down and attach his 'dream cord' so he can sleep,
dream, and gather energy for more exploration.
