In fact, the strange creature himself brings a beautiful color scheme to the console, and the result is a chocolaty confection of cuteness that suits the 360 very well.

DeviantARTist Ricepuppet slicked up this Xbox 360, he says, as a gift for his sister-in-law. Clearly, she has good taste, but that unfortunately means the mod is not for sale. Ricepuppet does custom paint jobs, however, and you can see other examples of his work (and rates) here.

If you’ve read all this and are wondering just what the heck Domo is, this video won’t help much, but it’s cute all the same.

Yes, he was hatched from an egg, has big teeth, and makes for an excellent Xbox 360 mod. That’s all you really need to know.

Whether you think he’s cute, weird or disturbing, there’s something for everyone when it comes to the little brown guy.

Now it turns out that the wacky characters will be hitting U.S. shores with a new series on Nicktoons this Fall. To celebrate the arrival of Domo in the states, Mimoco has revealed that they’ll be making a series of Domo-inspired flash drives.

I’m not certain, but I think the one on the left already managed to get his hands on a copy of Guitar Hero III.

Expect the Domo Mimobot USB drives to ship this November. They’ll come in sizes from 1GB to 4GB, and range in price from $49.95 to $109.95.

Now, please to enjoy this brief interlude by Domo and pals.
