5kerm

5kerm (also known as 5 kerm, 5Kerm, and 5 Kerm) is a "green ball" who is often depicted introducing itself.

Origin:

5kerm originated from a game finished on 9/7/16 with the starting prompt, Kermit Overload, started by user Edric. Harkins5 drew a simplistic Kermit head and drew the words "5 Kerm" next to it. The next user, BlipDog, misinterpreted it as a pea named 5 kerm. Scarlet Dream drew a picture of a pea introducing itself: "Hey, I'm 5 Kerm". Finally, ReddHood coined the iconic phrase: "Little green ball introduces himself as 5 kerm".

Appearance:

5kerm is a green ball or sphere, usually with a cheery face and no limbs. 5kerm does not have to be shaded, but often is.
