Homies

Homies are objects and animals that have been anthropomorphized by Big Mom's Soru Soru no Mi. Her Devil Fruit allows her to infuse the shards of a human's soul into non-living objects which causes them to gain a life of their own and in animals it gives them the ability to talk and behave like humans. They primarily exist in Totto Land where many Homies happily serve their creator.

Appearance
Almost anything can become a Homie with the exception of corpses and humans, so their appearance can be incredibly varied. Any inanimate object imaginable can become a Homie after having a piece of a soul infused into it regardless of shape or size, as shown with the living furniture, ships and talking buildings that inhabit Totto Land. Food of all types can also become Homies, however the majority of food-based Homies seen are all sweets and pastries which is fitting considering Totto Land's sweet environment. Plant life, pieces of the ground, mountains and even meteorological phenomenons (like clouds, rainbows and what seems to be a miniature living sun) can become Homies as well.

Animals who are infused with human souls gain human-like attributes, such as talking, standing up-right and wearing clothes, which make them resemble members of the Mink Tribe, however they cannot use Electro and animal-type Homies can be both mammals and reptiles.

Interspecies Relationships
The Homies seem to get along happily with all the races that inhabit Totto Land. Food-based Homies do not seem to mind if they are eaten by others so long as the eater compliments them and appreciates their flavor.

Culture
All non-animal Homies shown seem to have a fondness for singing and many are completely loyal to Big Mom and will gratefully obey her or her children's commands without question. Most man-made object Homies seem to prefer continuing to be used as objects by others and have a habit of constantly singing about what they are in front of people, such as Big Mom's ship which is always seen singing about the fact that it is a ship or Rabiyan singing about the fact that it is a carpet, making them seem limited in terms of personality. Food-based Homies are far more expressive in what they say and some are not limited to just serving as meals for Big Mom, as shown with a group of living Croquembouche who seemed to happily live civilian lives as tourists before being eaten by Big Mom during one of her rampages. The "Seducing Woods" of Whole Cake Island are quite sinister in nature and have no problem luring innocents to their deaths. Animal-based Homies seem to be the most expressive and human-like of the Homies, as seen with a talking crocodile who engaged in a serious conversation with members of other races.
