TORONTO, ON. April 1, 2023 – Scientists are baffled by the sudden arrival of a new species of
creature at a number of landmark locations all around the world! Apparently called the Wooshi
(Woooooooo-sheeeeee), scientists theorize that the Wooshi may well have originated in the
heretofore only theoretical dimension of Gor. Since their discovery, researchers have determined
that while the Wooshi are generally well-intentioned, their enthusiasm, energy, and general
ham-handedness can make for chaotic and frenetic outcomes for the people they come into
contact with – BEWARE THE WOOSHI!!!

An unprecedented discovery, the Wooshi are neither animal or mineral (but slightly bigger than a
breadbox), and while still undefined zoologically, they can be described to be short in stature
(stocky comes to mind), concerningly if not annoyingly intelligent (bordering on cocky), and
apparently fluent in English! Having mysteriously popped up at multiple locations globally,
scientists are still struggling to confirm the exact number of Wooshi amongst us, but they
guesstimate an oddly exact headcount of 11,111 Wooshi currently on Earth – HOW MANY
MORE MIGHT COME?!?

“The Wooshi appear to be generally social (and sociable) creatures, each with unique sets of
characteristics related to their behavior, survivability, headwear, eyewear and occasionally their
musical accessories, and differences in color and texture,” says John Paul Clavicle, Associate
Researcher at Perly’s Cartography & Biodiversity Institute. “Although we find them to be
mischievous and chaotic, they are strangely hypnotic – we cannot help but be fascinated and
attracted to these anarchic interlopers!”

First appearing in a variety of notable locations around the globe, such as the Eiffel Tower in
France, the Great Pyramid in Egypt, and the living room of Co-Founder and CEO of Toshiverse
L4bs, Cole Gurman, the Wooshi have demonstrated an uncanny ability to adapt to new and
disparate environments, including the deep pile of the shag carpeting that dominates the Gurman
residence.

“They just barged into my house one day,” says Gurman. “They started to rearrange my furniture,
frolic in my socks and underwear, and perform Broadway show tunes using my pots and pans –
things like that. I wasn’t a huge fan of their choice of musicals, but beyond that they were decent
company – they tend to grow on you… and crawl, and walk, and splay…”
Please stay tuned for exciting updates! Toshiverse L4bs, the team behind the Wooshi World
brand are stirring up new ideas for the inhabitants of the island of Gor, including new content,
product launches, and more!

About Toshiverse Labs
Toshiverse Labs, a Montreal-based IP-creation hub, with in-house expertise in world-building,
character-creation, web3 and NFT activations, and licensed consumer products. In late 2021
Toshiverse introduced Wooshi World via a unique limited edition offering of 11,111 Wooshi NFT’s,
which sold out in their entirety in hours. The team at Toshiverse then created and introduced an
immersive gaming experience for the Wooshi – The Island of Gor – which allowed fans of the
brand to engage and explore the world of Wooshi in even greater detail. 2023 sees the launch of
animated Wooshi World content, additional ranges of promotional merchandise, and engagement
with series-focused animation studios and licensed consumer product partners.

About Wooshi and Wooshi World
Deep in the place between our world and the virtual world, on the island of Gor, live a species of
tiny creatures called the Wooshi. Though cute and cuddly on the outside, the Wooshi are
formidable and mischievous foes (primarily to one another). While their fangs and bones are
fierce-looking at first sight, the Wooshi are generally docile, preferring napping and prank-playing
to bone-to-bone combat. The Wooshi are a tribal society, separated into 5 distinct nomadic
Orders who roam the many regions of Gor, and occasionally butt heads (and bones) with one
another while doing so. It was in fact this nomadic nature that lead 11,111 Wooshi to leap through
a portal into our world – the Ethereal Gateway – when it opened for a brief time in 2021. Once
here the Wooshi quickly befriended people – us – based upon how well our and their

personalities fit together. Once paired with a human companion, the Wooshi are immensely loyal,
and occasionally frustratingly, impossible to get rid of! To learn more visit www.wooshi.world
