A 10-year-old human boy named Red has inspired xenos across the neural net after announcing plans to leave his homeworld of Kanto Prime and become “the galaxy’s best beast-master.”

Sponsored by renowned local xenobiologist Professor Tree, the child has been entrusted with a small corvette, several gravity snares and a tame young space amoeba to assist him on his journey.

“In our culture it is commonplace for children to wander continents alone capturing wild animals and then using them to fight in bloodthirsty battles,” Professor Tree explained to Xenonion. “With the commercialization of gravity snares, we are now able to take this coming-of-age ritual into space.”

In videos circulating on social media, an excited Red was seen leaving Professor Tree’s biolab exclaiming, “I’m gonna catch all the space fauna! All five of them!”

There are currently five established species of space fauna, including space whales (Tiyanki), space amoeba, crystalline entities, void clouds and ancient mining drones. Little is known about how any of them would fare in captivity.

“I really want to snare a Tiyanki first,” Red explained to reporters while dropping off his resignation from elementary school. “My amoeba youngling has a tail-whip move that will be super effective against them. I’ve also heard if I give it some anabolic steroids it could evolve into a super amoeba, the Amoebraah!”

Fellow beast-masters across the galaxy, including adults, state they have been inspired by Red’s proclamation.

“After hearing his story I went out and tamed a crystalline entity,” 22-year old gym owner Breck told Xenonion. “I’m going to get a corvette and park myself out in subspace behind an asteroid to surprise fellow beast-masters passing by when they least expect it!”

Xenonion reached out to Red’s mother for comment, but she was unavailable after being detained by Kanto Prime social services.

Shares in gravity snare producer and feared pan-galactic law firm Intendo have soared on the news.
