=== Information ===
Rem has drifting star patterns in his plumage and inner ears.

Rem's name references [[wikipedia:Rapid_eye_movement_sleep|Rapid Eye Movement]], a unique and active phase of sleep in which most dreaming occurs.

Rem's hybrid anatomy of bird and mammal resembles that of a wingless [[wikipedia:Griffin|Griffin]] or [[wikt:keythong|Keythong]] in ancient mythology. His pyjamas resemble popular depictions of the [[wikipedia:Sandman|Sandman]] in Germanic and Scandinavian folklore.
