He does, however, have a Veeblax, a shapeshifting creature that could be the most interesting pet in the show. Despite a warning from his Fatherly One, Pleskit takes his alien pet to school.

But animals need time to get used to new situations -- and what could be more new for the Veeblax than a gymnasium full of new creatures?
