The record

Two animals came first. The third was
named and then forgotten.

2012 – 2013 cate

The first animal to take the board. Misspelled on purpose, which was the whole joke.

29 July 2013 doge

A doge thread is stickied at the top of /s4s/ and runs past six hundred replies. By December it is on television.

31 Dec 2013, 00:14 the call

An anonymous poster declares doge finished, names the successor, posts an 11 kilobyte photograph, and goes to bed.

2014 – 2025 nothing

Twelve years of silence. The animal keeps flapping seven kilometres down, unaware it has been nominated for anything.

2026 $GRIMPOTEUTHIS

The prophecy finally gets a contract address. Late, on-chain, and exactly as ridiculous as intended.

The animal itself

Close portrait of the Grimpoteuthis mascot: a round pale body, two fin-like ears, and dark eyes.

No ink. No camouflage.
No audience.

It gave up jet propulsion, gave up hiding, and settled on flapping two ears in total darkness. Twelve years of being ignored did not change its behaviour at all.
