PETAPETAMINILIAN (ぺたぺたみにりあん), or PETAMINI (ぺたみに), is a group of Sanrio characters who are various forms of aliens. They were born in outer space and planned on invading Earth, but as they arrived on Earth, they realized that the planet and the people on it were bigger and scarier than they had ever imagined. The group is on a mission to collect as many stickers as possible and bring them back to space. In the meantime, however, they're exploring all that Earth has to offer.
Backstory[]
On July 20, 1969, the very first human, or Earthling, landed on the moon, which is now a tourist spot for aliens. One of the twelve astronauts that were exploring the moon accidentally dropped a Corocorokuririn sticker there, a sticker that only existed on Earth. When the sticker was eventually found by an alien, they realized that it had great value and sold it in an auction, which became the highest bidding in history and the largest online auction in the entire universe.
Knowing that there were many other stickers aside from the famous Corocorokuririn one, the three aliens came hoping to conquer the Earth, ask the Earthlings to mass-produce stickers, and bring as many stickers back to space as possible.
