When the rainbow was being made, its colors had to be apportioned. As the familiar colors were selected and painted onto the arc, some colors were offended that they were not chosen and revolted. There was a reason the other colors were not chosen, as they were weak. The struggle was quick to end but was nonetheless violent. The ravages of war spilled much paint, and droplets of color scattered across the land, making the world a brighter, better place. However, just as the great colors were spread, so were the bad.
Teal is a rounded Dream Lander of an obvious color with curved, pointed flippers for arms at each side. A large, toothless grin with his jutting lips is always worn on his clueless face as his large, pale, bulging eyes each stare out at nothing. Two stray hairs stick up from his crown. His feet are clothed in a pair of orange shoes with a white stripe wrapped about the middle. They appear as a blur since they are constantly cycled around while he zips about in his idiocy.
Kirby may suck, but Teal can blow, and hard! Puckering his protruding lips, the absentminded puffball can generate forces strong enough to... knock someone back... slightly. When directly applied, the gust is powerful enough to push a foe with enough strength to damage another. Despite his capacity to blow, he cannot swell with air or produce a concentrated bullet. To transverse the sky, he merely cycles his legs while flapping his arms, which manages to get him airborne. Control is sloppy at best, making a straight path impossible as he bobs up and down throughout his flight.
Teal possesses the ability of multiplicity. His number can be swelled to exorbitant amounts over a short period of time. These copies, however, are just as or even more worthless than himself. They have limited movement, if at all, and no mental capacity, a trait shared with the original. The lifeless doubles merely take up space and must be cleaned up. The only thing they are good for is taking hits.
While Teal resides within the bounds of Dream Land, he has no real home, largely since he is not aware that he lacks one. Simply put, Teal is an idiot. He does not say much due to his lacking vocabulary, and typically only squeals or yelps. Widespread, he is regarded as a nuisance that only takes up and wastes space. He reinforces this believe every second of every day.
On occasions, the halfwit will figuratively attach himself to an unfortunate passerby and follow them until outsmarted and abandoned. While it seems like it would not be a pressing task given his lack of intelligence, the colored one is very difficult to shake from a trail. The slippery fellow is tricky when the matter comes down to it and is tenacious about not being dismissed easily. After being removed several times, several more will still have to be executed. Whether that is referring to attempts or persons is up to interpretation.
