Buddy Characters

18 species — duck, goose, blob, cat, dragon, octopus, owl, penguin, turtle, snail, ghost, axolotl, capybara, cactus, robot, rabbit, mushroom, and chonk. Each buddy has a unique identity generated from your system, with different eyes, hats, rarity levels, and personality stats. They animate through idle, working, reading, sleeping, and error states — matching what Claude Code is doing.
