Species category for creatures that are basically just walking heads. Arms optional. Most were created during the 8-bit era, on gaming platforms such as NES where the sprites had to fit into a 16x16 pixel square.

Common examples include Kirby, Pac-Man, and Goombas from the Mario series.

The credit for the tag name goes to TV Tropes.
