"On our planet, failure to serve churros in your concession stand is punishable by death!"
- Poly.. or would it be Ester?
Queens Poly and Ester are the monarch leaders of Rayon.
They're reoccurring antagonists and appeared in Bubsy I, Bubsy 3D, The Woolies Strike Back, and Paws on Fire, the latter in which there's no mention of their past actions and they joined forces with their nemesis in order to take on another villain for unclarified reasons.
As Poly and Ester are the ones to warn Bubsy about Oinker's return in aforementioned instalment, it's made apparent there's been an off-screen alliance and they trust his capabilities as a hero.
Personality
In Bubsy I's manual comic, they're described to be the greedy pursuers of wool and always out travelling the galaxy in search of the material. Though a victimless crime in actuality, they treat it as a villainous act -much like Bubsy- and revel in it.
At the same time, it's made clear in Paws on Fire that they'll hand out the death penality over fairly inconspicuous crimes and actions, making them more wicked than perceived at first glance.
Though they should be influential as the rulers of a planet, they've claimed Oinker to be powerful beyond imagination and are afraid of him; a possible response to the risk their kind could be claimed as animals for his large-scale zoo project, though this was not outright stated in Paws on Fire.
They'll accept the help of past enemies without letting it affect their pride as royal conquerors, though won't pretend to like them.
Appearance
Poly and Ester are noticeably tall and defined by the fact they are identical, conjoined twins, though have gone through a few changes over the years.
In Bubsy I's manual comic, they were shown to have light-orange skin, blue eyes, big orangish red noses, thick cheeks, and three tentacles on their head. Both heads wore a silver tiara with a blue gemstone, and their body a red, white edged king's cloak with a red yarn emblem on their chest. It's not certain if this is part of their body or their clothes.
In-game, they wore robotic battle armor and their cheeks and toes had an even more swollen look.
Bubsy 3D gave the two a complete redesign, where they were normal-sized, separated entities, with prominent eyelashes, purple skin, blue noses, and their head tentacles tied up in a ponytail.
Poly wore a dark-blue cloak with a crescent moon on the back and a golden ring collar, while Ester's skin was more pink and she sported a lighter variant of the same cloak. It's uncertain what symbol resides on it, but is guessed to be clouds.
Both characters used their head tentacles to fire off air attacks, and their overall appearance insinuates they're sorceresses.
In Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back, they shared one body again and their original color had somewhat returned. They looked to be about the same size as their underlings, still.
Since all Woolies in the game received a slight redesign, Poly and Ester did as well; and had a more rounded face with pink balls attached to their head tentacles. They wore tiaras and a king's cloak similar to their original design, but with pink tones.
In Bubsy: Paws on Fire, their appearance is a faithful reimagining of the original Poly and Ester, with the yarn emblem on their chest being orange this time around.
