=== Appearance ===
Rem is a small bipedal furry creature with the proportions of a human toddler. His body is covered in black fur. He has a short beak for a mouth, large round glowing bluish-white eyes that lack irises and pupils, and long fluffy cat-like ears with blue canals that have a drifting star pattern. He has 4-fingered hands, 3-toed digitigrade paws, and a long thin leonine tail that has a thick tuft of black fur at the end. He wears a blue pyjama shirt and cone hat with lighter blue stripy markings on them, as well as pink, blue and purple square patches on the back of said jacket. He carries his blue lucky pillow and a golden pocket watch with a crescent moon pendant. His weapon is a bluish-green candle from which he shoots wispy projectiles.

The {{AbilityIcon|Lil Helpers}} are smaller spherical creatures who, like Rem, have black fur, big round white eyes, tall ears, and a cone hat. They have flat feet.

Rem's hybrid anatomy of bird and mammal resembles that of a wingless [[wikipedia:Griffin|Griffin]] or [[wikt:keythong|Keythong]] in ancient mythology.

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