Topic on Talk:Halexandrey Walton

This IRM emerged from discussion within Magic - posting here for comments / additions, as always. Will be shopping around to other teams which have had her.

Halexandrey Walton ("Hex" or "Halex") is the name given to any of a wide variety of female canid or canid-like species which have played in the league, filling an otherwise empty slot in the lineup or rotation. The first observed occurrence of this was for the Yellowstone Magic, on Season 2, Day 64 as a replacement for the incineration of Sosa Elftower, when a coyote (Canis latrans) wandered onto the field. Current species which have been observed as Halexandry Walton include:

-Coyote (Canis latrans) -Grey/Red/Eastern wolf (Canis lupus) -Domestic dog (feral) (Canis familiaris) -Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) -Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) -Black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) -Mexican priarie dog (Cynomys mexicanus) -Tanuki (Nyctereutes procyonoides)*

• Only observed during Tokyo Lift home games.

Of these, by far the most common species witnessed is the coyote, including the specific initial coyote which replaced Elftower in season 2. Despite the fact that Walton is readily observed by fans of the sport to be a multitude of different specific animals and species, almost universally any active Blaseball players identifies her exclusively as a "good girl," "pupper," "puppo," or "fluffy-wuffy", seemingly confusing her with some domesticated canid. When asked, Blaseball players cannot identify what specific species she is nor can they identify that she is, in fact, a wild animal.

Would like to expand it a bit more, taking any suggestions.

Current list of animals to add: -Spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) -Mainland Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) -Ussuri Brown bear (Ursus arctos lasiotus) -Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus)

Omg yes I love this idea so much. Hmm.. I don’t have a ton of ideas to add. Maybe something about where they go/where they come from? Does Hex suddenly appear on the plate when she’s needed and disappear any other time or is it a “blink and she’s different” kind of deal? The bit about her filling empty slots in the lineup/rotation makes it sound like she only exists during games so it might be good to have clarification on whether or not she’s still there during the teams downtime + what that looks like.

This is outside of Caniformia, but the Bobcat (Lynx rufus) is a largish quadrupedal predator that lives near Charleston WV, and based on wikipedia, many other Charlestons as well. Coyote would be a much more common form though I think, as seeing a Bobcat is a very special occasion.

I wonder if the different Hexs hang out? Maybe the animals come not just from wildlife near the stadium, but everywhere the team with Hex goes, a mixed pack of APEX predators follows.
