Various Pop Cultural Icons.
The kinds of things that are liable to show up as bootlegged plush toys, or outright parodied in-universe.

These are either public-domain concepts/cultural touchstones, or IP that are just.... Living beyond their means.
The internet has fundamentally changed them. They belong to the collective conciousness now, sorry.

The Toadies: This is a minion. It's also a rabbid and spongebob and dilbert and a muppet and-- you get the idea.
They originated as a singular character in a CGI children's movie, and then got genericised into a whole species of the things.
This does not matter, however, since you will mostly be seeing them in irony-poisoned memes and claw machines.

Various Aliens: Various Aliens.
The Su-Lii: While not really iconic in and of themselves, are a good example of a "sexy" alien that looks "too much like a person" for actual sci-fi fans. The film they came from had practically no cultural impact, but made money.
The Grull: Technically copywritten, just like the Su-Lii, but basically everyone draws a slight variation on them when asked to draw an alien, unless they're drawing a more generic grey-alien.
The Greys: These are generic little guys who are often drawn cuter, but are also what faked alien remains tend to look like, so they contain multitudes.

Chuq Y. Chiz: Mascot for a company currently filing for bankruptcy. The chain never existed on New Orphidian and Corone's hemisphere of the world, so it's kind of mythologised via the internet to them.
A horrible little teromaus, he has gone through several design changes. None have ever really been good.

Filler Frog: Adorns many a greetings card and cheesy valentines day plush. Generally beloved by *your* aunt, specifically.
