Not to be confused with the term "The Twinkie" (about the analogy in 1984 movie), or Twinkies as in the food sold to promote the 2016 movie.

Twinkie[2] is a feline familiar that is owned by a witch.

History[]

Twinkie is a cat that acts as a witch's familiar and focuses the witch's supernatural powers.[3][4][5] As a safeguard, the familiar is attuned only to supernatural beings.[6][7] Otherwise, its ability to grant unlimited wishes could prove dangerous. While the witch pulled a prank on two helicopter pilots, a gust of wind knocked Twinkie off the broom. She fell a top of a pizza delivered to Slimer. Since Slimer was a ghost, Twinkie granted every wish Slimer made even when Slimer was asleep and dreaming. However, Slimer's wishes prove very dangerous and led to an odd encounter with "Santa Claus." The witch arrived at the Firehouse and took back Twinkie. It granted one last wish for Slimer - a giant sub sandwich.

Powers[]

Twinkie can focus a witch's power and grant any wish commanded by a supernatural being. All that is required is the wish and physical proximity.
