# Species

There are 10 different species of MicroBuddy, each with their own unique genealogies. Our nanobiologists categorized each MicroBuddy species into a rarity pool based on their saturation at Genesis and their ability to produce GOO. Each MicroBuddy species essentially represents its own individual game, with the common denominator between all species being [GOO](/goo-token/tokenomics.md)!

In addition to the 2490 MicroBuddies above, an additional 10 "[Founder](/microbuddies/goo-production/founders.md)" MicroBuddies will be minted. "FounderBuddies" are [barren](/more-info/glossary.md#barren) (cannot replicate and do not naturally produce GOO). Instead, they will produce [a percentage](/microbuddies/replication.md#replication-fee) of the game's fees in order to incentivize the holders to support the growth of the game itself.
