The Light Shimmers (also known as the Phenomse[1]) are an extraterrestrial species first introduced in "Hatching the Plan", each resembling their own ball of light. The species lived on the Egg Planet prior to an attack by Meeple Incorporated, who took multiple of their youth. They are led by the Prime Shimmer, who is voiced by Brandon Shim.
Appearance[]
The Light Shimmers resemble balls of white energy, with each ball being its own organism. Nearly every Light Shimmer seen is covered by an eggshell (presumably the one they were hatched out of). There are currently 10 known types of Light Shimmer.
