The konfites is a nervous animal. When it spots any danger, real or imagined, it shoots out its glittering scales in a dazzling preformance that distracts the viewer. Sadly this ends up leaving this tiny creature rather exposed to the elements. Konfites are often given out at parties as a rather short lived gift, meant to be eaten soon after watching their display of fear. Some owners though have fallen in love with the strange single celled organism and keep them long term. A well loved konfites can live up to 5 years.
