Neepers are a genus of gryphonid distinct from gryphonidae in several key ways, most notably, their lack of a third pair of limbs and opposable thumbs.

This fawny neeper is perched on a white glasscherry cachobe tree- a silicon-metabolizer that produces glassy pink sophytosilicate flowers. In late autumn, the glassy outer petals close and seal off with a gummy elastomer, entrapping the flowers inside, effectively turning them into tiny little greenhouse bulbs. Over the winter months, cherry-like fruits will develop inside the flowers. The sealant expands and grows with the fruits which can become large as a man's fist. In spring, the gummy sealant degrades, exposing the fruit to fresh air which triggers them to drop to the ground whereupon they violently crack open, creating loud popping sounds that can reach 100 decibels; to many creatures, this is effectively a dinner bell. The sugary syrup and fragrant aromas attract all manner of wildlife, particularly gryphettes and neepers.
