Sure, it's a wild thought, like a digital tumbleweed blowing through the code. Maybe the critters are leftover sprites from an ancient prototype, just chilling in the background while the game loads. It’s like finding a secret garden in a maze—maybe the devs left them there to keep the forest alive, or maybe they’re just the universe’s way of saying “don’t forget the little guys.” Either way, it’s cool to think they’re living little digital ghosts haunting our adventures.
