Spot
From KeenWiki
Spot is Keen's pet Yorp he brought home from Mars, in Keen 1. It's revealed at the end of Keen 1 that he has brought the Yorp home as his mother screams in shock at what the "one-eyed green thing" in his room is. The second time Spot is seen is in the ending sequence of Keen 2. Spot's name is never mentioned in the story but in the picture in Keen 2 Spot is outside the house and his name is written on a bowl filled with dog food. Spot can also be seen in the background image of the scrolling story in Keen 4. Spot may be one of the Yorps that can be seen in the demo version of Keen 6.
Spot is also known in the Keen community under the name Norp. As the name first appeared in the Keen community, it is therefore not official. Some people prefer to use the name Norp instead of Spot, most notably Xtraverse who let Norp star in his four mods.
The name 'Spot' is found on the Yorp's feeding dish and can therefore be assumed to be its 'real' or official name, though this is debatable as Spot is a common canine name and dishes with this name can be easily purchased. Thus it is possible to argue that the name 'Norp' is consistant, and this appears to be the preferred name among the Keen community.
