Origin[]
The Sneetches are a race of "Sort-of-Birds" living on the beach of Aw-WahHoo - they are divided into two fractions, Star-Bellies and Plain-Bellies - Star-Bellies frown upon Plain-Bellies and refuse to invite them for fun and games, leading Plain-Bellies to retaliate with violence. Both fractions are completely unaware that they have no differences whatsoever beyond their star-shaped marks.
