// a water starter: a plump seal pup lying on its belly, a big round head with a dark button nose,
// a water-drop crest on its brow, front flippers that pat the ground, a two-lobed tail fluke and a
// few darker dapples. Colourways: sky blue, aqua, and a rare shiny pink.
// States: idle (head bob, flipper pats), splash (a fountain from the crest, flippers clapping),
// waddle (a rocking flipper shuffle while it travels).
