Background:
Vaniyo originates from the serene dairy farms and fragrant vanilla fields of Foodlandia, where the creamiest milk and finest vanilla are blended into delicious yogurt. According to Foodlandian legend, Vaniyo was created from the purest dairy and vanilla beans, each batch infused with the essence of probiotics. The smooth, creamy surface of its body symbolizes nourishment and delight.
Starting life as a small Doodie in a cup of yogurt, Vaniyo likes to hang out in cool climates, hiding from the sun and any enemies. As it evolves into a Dooder, Vaniyo gains more agility and increased mental strength, able to move things with its mind. After evolving into a Doodastator, Vaniyo grows larger, stronger and can manipulate the mind of other Food Doods that get too close. Vaniyo often hides among other dairy products or in kitchen fridges, blending in with its surroundings.
Strengths:
Vaniyo has a smooth but strong and resilient texture that provides excellent defense against attacks. When threatened, Vaniyo can move objects with its mind, and manipulate the minds of enemies, causing confusion and misdirection. Vaniyo can also emit darts of Vitamin B2 energy to attack enemies. Vaniyo has high energy levels and, unlike most Food Doods, is full of magical probiotics, making it both unique and powerful. Vaniyo is a Dairbie and can beat Protevores.
Vaniyo concentrates absorbed food particles into radiant, Vitamin B2 powered energy darts. These bolts explode on impact, causing kinetic and thermal damage to enemies.
With its Probiotic Power ability, Vaniyo can use probiotics to control the minds of enemies, and move objects with its mind.
Vaniyo stimulates its calcium reserves to rebuild itself. Muscles regain elasticity and strength, while bones thicken during battle, creating increasing durability during combat.
Weaknesses:
Vaniyo is a water-based Food Dood, making it vulnerable to fire-based foes and persistent attacks. Its distinct aroma can also make it easy to detect. If Vaniyo overuses its Probiotic Power, it can become mouldy, weak, slow and less effective in battle. Vaniyo is a Dairbie and vulnerable to attacks from Veggicon and Ockazionals.
Connections:
Vaniyo enjoys teaming up with other Food Doods to create nutritious and delicious snacks for humans. When paired with Fruitables, it can transform into a delightful fruit smoothie. When it joins forces with Grainies, it can become part of a wholesome yogurt and granola breakfast.
