The Cubelodyte spends the majority of its days in a small gray box, staring at a shiny object for hours on end. Every two weeks it is ostensibly rewarded for this behavior with a small green pellet, deposited into a big box somewhere else, where it is cut up and the pieces sent to other boxes far, far away.

Its diet consists largely of grease and C₈H₁₀N₄O₂ in a variety of aqueous solutions, supplanted by occasional leavings from the group meals of the rarely-seen apex predators (Executives) and their symbionts (Managers) that dominate the Cubelodyte’s environment.

Despite the fact that cubelodytes are almost never observed or recorded as engaging in reproductive activity, their numbers are vast and increasing. Huge, captive herds fill the countless North American and European cubicle farms, and their numbers are reportedly increasing rapidly on the Indian subcontinent.
