Bart Simpson creatures

The  are a group of s that were created after, in 2014,  Bart Simpson placed a sandwich that he blew his nose on in a time capsule together with his friend 's lucky rabbit's foot and radioactive ooze came in contact with them. At first a group of rabbits, they later underwent metamorphosis, turning into Bart-like lizards, and some posteriorly evolved wings.

The creatures, who were multiplying out of control and destroying New New York (putting the price of starter condos at 99 quadrillion dollars), had Bart's father 's D.N.A., so went back in time from 3014 to  to kill Homer before they could evolve from him, but instead teamed up with the  and. The moon was also closed for renovations.

In order not to kill Homer or Marge, they initially planned to kill the one of the  that had sired the creatures, who they eventually learned was Bart, but instead decided to dig up the time capsule. However, the creatures destroyed the generator that powered the portal that the crew had used to go back in time, causing them to be sucked back into the future before they could do so.

By promising them bars and tormenting them with the holophonor sounds of a, a rainbow, flowers, and a , Bart's sister  rounded up the creatures in Madison Cube Garden, where  locked them, and the Planet Express ship then shot it into  (like they do to each 's  losers, who that year had been the ). The creatures landed on Omicron Persei 8, where they caused more destruction. The was rebuilt and the generator was repaired, allowing the Simpsons to return to the past.
