Home Planet
On their home planet, BuddyWorld, the BuddyBots exist alongside a variety of unique creatures and species. Originally created by the Zorks, they now create more of themselves, continuing to expand their world. Though they exist in the same universe as humans, encounters are rare. Designed to support one another, they operate as a system, though moments of conflict and variation naturally emerge.
