History
Gunther's family was making a lot of money, so they were planning to move away to a better house. Gunther thought that this would mean he would never see his friends again, so he decided to blow all of their extra money on an experiment that would be destined to fail. He decided to make creatures that were part human, part animal, part robot. That was scientifically impossible, so he could keep using money to get this experiment to turn out a success. But, the experiment was possible if he used magic instead of science to create these mythical creatures, and magic is exactly what he used. When his first two doubutsus (Mandy and Ford) turned out a success, he decided to keep making these creatures, except using different animals. Now, the extra money that Gunther's family was making goes towards taking care of the doubutsus and their condo.

Trivia

 * The Japanese word for animal is 動物 (doubutsu) but is used to describe people with animal parts, similar to how the Japanese word for cat, 猫 (neko), is used to describe a human with cat ears and a cat tail.
 * All of the robo doubutsus have domestic pets as their base animal (i.e. cats, rabbits, hamsters, canaries, etc)
 * Unlike most people, Gunther gave the robo doubutsus human names, most likely because the robo doubutsus are in their "human" form most of the time.
