==Polka==
[[File:Poka_by_SG.png|thumb]]
As [[Nilbog]]'s very first creation and friend, Polka was his favorite. By the time Nilbog is first encountered, during [[Sting 26.4]], there had been three versions of Polka, as Nilbog's creations could only live for a limited time. Polka was a blue-skinned, white-haired female creature with a long, narrow tail. Her face was narrow with a reptilian structure, having four fangs at the front, with skin that was very smooth and human-like. She wore clothing more appropriate for toddlers.<ref>“Four years.  Sometimes five.”  All at once, the light was gone from Nilbog’s face, the sudden fury quenched.<br /><br />“Who’s your favorite?” Jack asked.<br /><br />“Polka,” Nilbog said.  He reached out, and a female creature, no taller than three feet, hopped up onto the lap of the creature beside her king.  She had a narrow face with a reptilian structure, with only four fangs at the very front, but smooth, humanlike skin.  Her hair was white, her skin blue.  She wore a toddler’s clothes, a long, narrow tail lashing behind her.  Nilbog stroked her hair.<br /><br />“Not the first Polka,” Jack said.<br /><br />“No.  The third.”<br /><br />“She was your first, and you love her for that, because she drew you from the hell that was your life before godhood, gave you ''this''.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/27/sting-26-4/ Excerpt] from [[Sting 26.4]]</ref> 

A fourth version of Polka was also created by Nilbog. It is unknown if this was before, during, or after his captivity and torture at the hands of [[The Nine]]. Possible when he was making soldiers to fight [[Zion]].<ref>A good fifth of our fighting force here was made up of Nilbog’s creatures and Dragon’s suits, which self-repaired and kludged together with the remains of other damaged suits to return to the field again and again.<br /><br />[...]<br /><br />[[Zion|He]] was throwing punches again, hurling himself into the thickest parts of the crowd.  Nilbog’s creations were taking the brunt of the attack.<br /><br />[...]<br /><br />We were distant enough that I could see the circle of golden light expanding around them, a ring that ripped through the ground, demolishing it.<br /><br />Nilbog’s creations, the defending forces and Dragon’s suits were all toppled as the ground settled.  Buildings collapsed.<br /><br />A wounded Leviathan emerged from the water, approaching Scion with an almost lazy slowness.  Capes practically fought one another to get their footing and get out of the way.  Some were too rough in their hurry to get by Nilbog’s creations, only to get attacked by the things in retaliation. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/speck-30-2/ Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.2]]</ref> This fourth Polka was the parent of [[Dot]]. Dot lamented that she was the child of the fourth Polka, as she considered the third Polka to be the most beautiful and clever of the four, to which Nilbog responded that the fourth Polka was clever as well.
