Quarf

Quarf is a fictional creature from the animated television series Rick and Morty. It is a small, furry, bipedal alien with a distinctive chirping sound. Quarfs are often depicted as being weak and cowardly, and they are frequently subjected to abuse or exploitation by other characters. In the episode "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate," a Quarf is shown being sold as a pet, and in "Rixty Mins," one is used as a projectile weapon. The character of the Quarf was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, and it first appeared in the episode "Pilot." The creature's design is meant to be both cute and unsettling, and its name is a portmanteau of "quack" and "arf." Quarfs have become a minor recurring gag in the series, often appearing in unexpected and humorous situations. Their simplistic design and inherent vulnerability have made them a target for dark humor within the show's narrative. The creatures have also appeared in supplementary materials such as comic books and video games.
