6The Clatteroid Features Great Color Variants
The Colorful Rainbow Gyroid
While all but one Gyroid offers color variants, Clatteroid offers the most unique options.

2The Stelloid Offers Alien Refinement
The Futuristic Sci-Fi Gyroid
While there is a more obvious alien-looking Gyroid, the Sproingoid, it unfortunately has an almost toy-like feel to it, somewhat resembling the aliens fromToy Story. Although this isn’t a negative thing, it doesn’t offer a ton of design options to work with, which is why the Stelloid is the perfect alternative. Not only is the design of the Stelloid just pleasing in general, witha sleek and polished look to it, but it also offers a more sophisticated sci-fi feel and less of a playful one.
Even if you’re not into the sci-fi feel of it, the polished clay-like appearance of this Gyroid can almost pass it off as a piece of fine art, making it work in even a refined home design.
For those who don’t want to go the fun alien route with their decor, the Stelloid is a perfect piece to add to a more subtle galaxy aesthetic. Complete withhigh-pitched sci-fi sound effects, and color schemes that almost give off a luminescent appearancefrom a distance, the Stelloid is practically a must-have among the Gyroids.
