Thesis
The following is some extra info providing insight into more of the theory behind Kozians!
Kozians in their truest, most real-world sense, are an imagination of imagination. Because of this, it's possible to argue they are actually real, because most of what they insist that they are, is simply what they are—imagination. They are real because they acknowledge that they are imagination, which is what they truly are in reality. They are real because they do not require anything to exist that does not already exist in the real world. It is our imaginations that make them what they are, and in that sense they do really exist exactly as they are described. Their Plushie Form represents the fact that they are an idea created by a person and represented in a real way, which is in this case, on a screen. Their Friend Form represents the imaginary life we give to our characters when we think of or write or draw stories about them. In a sense it is the same as any other type of made-up character, but the unique factor is that it acknowledges itself. The other unique factor is that these imaginations can be imagined to be imagined by other imaginations. But that's just a silly way of saying that your own characters (which are your imaginations) can have a Kozian (an imaginary creature) as their imaginary friend (therefor imaginations are imagining other things, imaginarily).
The only fabricated aspect (pun intended) of the Kozian Creature concept is of their origin and existence as plushies, being created by Charity A. Lamb. Charity doesn't truly exist in real life as she is represented in illustrations, nor does her workshop and all her materials. But she is a representation of myself, Lambity, and her shop is a representation of my own real resources that I use to create the digital animals known as Kozians.
In conclusion, Kozians are, quite simply, imagination. :)
