The chinchillas of the Void (“chinkillas”) are the Dread Fortress’s workforce and a staple of chaos events.
- Unionized. They take regulated lunch breaks (a whistle blows: “That’s lunch, boys”), refuse overtime, expect triple pay when Thea promises it, and are no longer allowed to clean up biohazard. “It’s canon. It’s been established.”
- Immune to magic, and throwable.
- They range from tiny to moose-sized. In Chinchilla Forest they roll in pools of talcum powder.
- Notables: Frank, the cigarette-smoking lead chinchilla with sciatica (S7E5); a hard-hat foreman; a hibachi chef; Wicked, Jinx’s chinchilla; and Chinchilla the White, kicked into the sun by Akumu, who came back platinum and fifteen feet tall (S7E3).
Everything below is compiled from the episode pages, in show order.
