Palworld fans, check out BUGSNAX, you won't regret it

Say hi to the precious Bunger)))

It's a creature-catcher-puzzle game, set in a delightfully weird and funny style, which comes as a given, after all it's the product of an Octodad developer team! The bugsnax ecosystem is surprisingly deep, and it's very easy to see how much thought the developers put into each creature. Figuring out how to catch each one and how they interact with each other is the core loop and it is extremely fun! It also has a super cozy atmosphere and a funky vibe to it, which I really enjoyed.

Bugsnax is very very good, don't miss out on it if you like creature-collectors or biology-themed games.

Interview Chandlo!

Time to ask the inventor a few questions.

“Have time for an interview?”

Are you out of your mind?! I can't have my secrets spread all over the front page news!

“But don’t you want to find Eggabell?”

Of course I do! But at the same time, I don't want THEM finding ME!

“What if your name wasn't attached?”

Hm... I suppose I can reveal a little so long as I’m left anonymous.

“Who are you?”

I am... Cha[CENSORED]bun. I have devoted my life to inventing devices that foil the machinations of the Grumpmasons.

“Why come to Snaktooth island?”

My dear friend Snor-[CENSORED] dragged me out here. He thought I needed some 'fresh air' or something. As much as I hate nature, I just couldn’t say no to him.

“How long have you and [CENSORED] been in a relationship?”

W-w-w-well! Aha! I-I-I mean, we've been friends since kindergarten. It would make perfect sense if we were — more than friends. He's never... said we are. Has he?

“Thoughts on Bugsnax?”

My guess is they are some sort of synthetic life form designed to seduce our taste buds.

“If Bugsnax are artificial, where do they come from?”

I'm glad you asked! I think there's a factory hidden somewhere underground on this island. I have the schematics! I'll have to show you my charts to you later.

“Why did you leave town?”

I was too exposed. Professor Woolbag was trying to drag me into her experiments, now that Eggabell and Lizbert couldn't keep her busy anymore. I realized this was the next step in the Grumpmasons' scheme against me.

“Grumpmasons plot?”

Eggabell disappears, we're hit by an earthquake, we suffer from a snak shortage… All in the same day? Do you REALLY think these are coincidences? I have a timeline of it all. They’re on my charts.

“Any info on Lizbert?”

Eggabell Batternugget was an curious sort who didn't possess a single bone of stupidity. She could compete with me in wits and [CENSORED] Sodie chugging contests. We occasionally exchanged secrets. Terrible, awful secrets…

“What ‘awful secrets’?”

Hahaha, well, I can’t TELL you the terrible secrets because they are AWFUL and SECRET!

“…yeah, I think we're done here.”

Excellent interrogation, Chum! So great that you deserve another hugging experience!

Hahaha, ha- This can NOT go on the record. I was contacted by Eggabell Batternugget after she found something on the island… a locked tunnel entrance protected by an odd object. I assisted her in discovering its mysteries, and soon after, she vanished. Be very cautious at all times! I can tell you where to find her, but the rest is up to you.

[shwoo]

I don't think this information is online anywhere, so here's each Bugsnax character's sidequest activation requirements, chat lines and requirements for each one, and schedule. Note that the character's interview needs to be done before they'll start offering sidequests, and they won't offer the next sidequest in the chain until the previous one has been completed.

I want to put this into a Gamefaqs type guide I'm walking on, but I want to do a lot of things so who knows when that'll get done. Putting it here so it least it'll be somewhere!

My source is datamining. Lizbert and Eggabell's shedule data isn't actually used, but I included it anyway.

Beffica

Chat 3: (After the first welcome back party, before Ghost Stories) Bugsnax are totes delish. 10/10 would eat again. I could just sit here eating Bugsnax all day. So I do. Chat 4: (After Ghost Stories, before The Intruder) Gramble's so touchy cuz he never sleeps. Seriously, he just walks around at night like a creepy zombie.

I'm still repainting all the huts but it's taking a while cuz I don't have a lotta paint and the last batch made me pretty dizzy… Chat 2: (After the first welcome back party, before Ghost Stories) I wish I could be like Lizbert… She always knew what to do, what to say. When she made a plan, I knew I could just follow it and I'd be okay… …but now it's just up to me. Chat 3: (After Ghost Stories, before The Intruder) Every time I go home, all my stuff is moved around, and there are new paw prints on the floor. I'm starting to think… …maybe ghosts ARE real!

Chat 1: (Before he returns to town) Have you talked to Wiggle yet? She’s real nice. Though, she can come off a bit *ahem* strong. Chat 2: (After he returns to town, before the first welcome back party) I've been tryin' to breed Bugsnax together. It's been real tricky cuz they don't have any, uhm, obvious bits to 'em. Chat 3: (After the first welcome back party, before Ghost Stories) Oh, that ol' coot Wambus. He thinks Bugsnax grow if you plant 'em in dirt. How's that make any sense? Chat 4: (After Ghost Stories, before The Intruder) Sometimes I wake up at night, and I see somethin’ out there. Like, a shadow watchin’ me from the tree line. I try callin’ out to it, but it disappears before I get a good look at it. Chat 5: (After The Intruder) You ever noticed how the real big Bugsnax break up into little ones? I been wondering why that is. Do the little ones stick together to make big ones? C-can I teach them to do that?

Chat 1: (Before he returns to town) I've known Chandlo for ages. He does what he says and says what he thinks. In this mad, mad world he is uncomplicated, reliable, and…surprisingly gentle. Chat 2: (After he returns to town, but before his interview, and before The Intruder) The outdoors are dangerous, unpredictable, and smelly. Get me enough material, and I'll make us a roof over this entire island Chat 3: (After his interview, before The Intruder) Of all the unknowns in this world, one plagues me more than any other. How does Chandlo truly feel about me? Does he want us to be something…more? Chat 4: (After The Intruder, before Floofty returns to town) Bugsnax look like living creatures but they act more like tiny little machines. Tiny, little, delicious machines built explicitly to appeal to a mass audience. Chat 5: (After Floofty returns to town) Rest assured, Chum, I have my eye on Floofty.

Chat 1: (Before she returns to town) You haven't run into Wambus, have ya? I swear that man has a head harder than granite. Chat 2: (After she returns to town, before Ghost Stories) I gotta admit, it's nice havin' Wamby around again. We'll just have to wait and see if he's really learned his lesson. Chat 3: (After Ghost Stories, before Cromdo returns to town) Ya know, we're the fifth major group to settle here. Looks like Grumpuses have been re-discoverin' Bugsnax for millennia. Chat 4: (After Cromdo returns to town, before The Intruder) I try to be nice to everybody, but sometimes that Cromdo just rattles my bones! I swear he'd sell off his own gramma if that'd make him a few bucks. Chat 5: (After The Intruder) Ya know, I've never seen any sorta cryptid mentioned in the ancient Grumps' writing. Means we're dealing with something new… isn't that kinda exciting?

Chat 4: (After Triffany returns to town, before Ghost Stories) Stranger, I won't mince words. Thanks for bringin' Triffy home. Chat 5: (After Ghost Stories, before The Intruder) Y'know, I been callin' you Stranger, but you been around a while. Need a new name… Sorry, I'm not creative…Stranger.

Chat 1: (Before she returns to town) Ah, Gramble. Such soulful eyes! Such a caring heart!

Interview Wiggle

Have time for an interview?

“An interview? Fine, but keep it quick. Got the sauces to tend to.”

Who are you?

“Wiggle Wigglebottom. Sauce farmer.”

Why come to Snaktooth Island?

“To start a garden.”

Can’t you start a garden back home?

“Please, it’s clear you never had to pay for property tax. It’s not as easy as you think.”

Thoughts on Bugsnax?

“Hmm… What do I think about them?... They’re annoying, tasty… But most of all confusing.”

What’s so confusing about them?

“Well, they’re not plants nor bugs, they ain’t got organs, seeds, anything like that! And if ya cook ‘em, they turn to some goopy mush. I call that confusin’.”

Why did you leave town?

Well, when Snorpy vanished I knew we’d needed food. Without the snax, I figured I can try to farm these sauces as a second choice. Though we would be fine, but Triffany had to be a pain.”

What’s your problem with Triffany?

“Ugh, little Miss Bo Grump thinks all the bugsnaks are her little pets.” *spits*

Floofty said you have a boyfriend? Where is he?

“Floofty had better shut their grumpin’ mouth, Gramble’s probably out there pokin’ at skeletons or dirt. Not my problem.”

What happened to Gramble?

“Well, in a relationship like this, you tend to get into a spat or two. It doesn’t take alot to knock ‘em down.”

Any info on Snorpy?

“A respectable type, we’d trade my sauce for snaks, even plants and herbs for Dr. Funkbun.”

Who is Dr. Funkbun?

“Oh, that’s the town doc, you know. Chandlo. Snorpy’s partner.”

What happened to Snorpy?

“I really couldn’t say. Probably huntin’, it’s dangerous work. He could’ve slipped and fell, caught in an earthquake, thrown off in the volcano, buried in the snow. Who's to say?”

That’s all. Thanks for your time!

“Tch, a waste of your time. Look, if ya want answers, ya need evidence. Here, I dug this up earlier. It could help you find him. Now, back to work.”

[bazyboo13]

Interview with Cookie

Who are you

I- um, can you just call me Cookie?

Why did you come to Snaktooth

To find my best friend Sebastian with Alexandra

-> how did you and Sebastian meet

Near the end of middle school

Thoughts on Bugsnax

I GRUMPING LOVE KWOOKIES!!!

-> but about bugsnax themselves

Oh... they're something else man, they are cute but can sometimes be painful

Any info on Lizbert

No... I don't know much about her, but when I was trying to get some kwookies for myself there were weird rumblings coming from the mountain, and they seemed to get louder when I ate one...

That will be all

If you see him please tell me... I miss him...

[peachsnax]

Time to ask the artists questions.

——————————start of tape ——————————

Who are you?

Hi hi my name is Ghost, Peaches, floofty, or Alegander (any of these are fine), and this is my bugsnax sideblog ! I dont really have a main blog at the moment though , and its very likely that this will become it.

I use he/it/they/neos but have a preference for it/it’s pronouns. I’m a mostly self taught artist (currently taking digital media classes), and most of what I post here will be of my art.

Thoughts on bugsnax?

Right now bugsnax is my current fixation. I love absolutely anything and everything about it, and I would love to meet others who also enjoy it ^^

Although I have extreme brainrot for bugsnax currently, I also enjoy:

Kara no kioku [ @ghostlypeaches52 ] (Although the blog that is linked will probably be not nearly as active)

Pokémon (both side and mainline games)

Chainsaw man

Lego monkie kid

These aren’t all, but they’re the last few things I’ve fixated on.

Any final thoughts?

One final thing I’ll say is please dni if you are:

transphobic, racist, homophobic (or any of the basic dni criteria)

Abelist in any way

transmed or xenophobic

A pro shipper

Other than that feel free to interact otherwise! Also if for some reason you repost or use any of my art on any other site, please give credit to me.

Thanks for the interview though, and I hope to see you around sometime ^^

TOP TEN BUGSNAX HIDDEN SECRETS AND FUN FACTS:

Some totally WILD things that YOU might have never known about BUGSNAX!

1. The first Bugsnak created was Rootle, as confirmed in some 2019 interviews with Young Horses. It was also supposed to be the mascot for the series, but Paletoss was the far more cuter mascot.

2. Grumpuses as a species are just genetically modified humans, created eons ago (2016). They were all told to leave Earth, and now all live on the planet the game takes place on. This will be a major plotpoint in Bugsnax 5: We Know The Bugs Are Parasites Again, coming out in 2040.

3. If you jump over the shorter grumpuses (Gramble, Beffica, Wambus, etc), your friendship points with them will go down, and you'll get a stern talking to. Be nice!!!!!!!

4. The player can actually solve the Frosted Peak door puzzle before Major Celebration. Doing this makes 75% of the late game events completely useless, and most of the grumpuses have a high chance of dying. But HEY, you get to find Lizbert!

5. When searching through the game files, you can find models meant for every type of bug and every type of snack that shows up in this game as Bugsnax. Next to Bunger's model files, for example, you'll be able to see a fully modeled cheeseburger and rhinoceros beetle. Really shows you how dedicated these devs were!

6. Cromdo is gay

7. Much like the hidden Triplicate Message in Boiling Bay before the Isle of Bigsnax dlc, when you click Triffany's photobook in her and Wambus' hut, you'll get a message saying "Bronica's Tragic Awful Backstory Is NOT Finished, Now PLEASE Look Away!!!" with a silhouette of Bronica's sticker next to it.

8. The game was set to be released all the way back in 2007, but it was pushed back because Adolescent Horses couldn't figure out what the name for that silly blue guy should be. They went through hundreds, possibly thousands of name choices all those years, but couldn't find one that truly fit that guy. In November 2020, just 2 days before the game released, they got it! They're gonna name that blue guy Philbo.

9. The real villain of the game is that one Flamin' Cheepoof found in Boiling Bay. It may not seem obvious to you, but after listening to what those Old Horses have to say, you'll get it.

10. On the first day of the fourth month of the year 2024, some person with a blog will give out some strange but interesting information about Bugsnax. Don't know why they all waited four years to reveal this information, but whatever.

The TOTALLY REAL and RELIABLE sources for all of these facts have all been compiled into THIS VIDEO! Wow!

Interview Snorpy!

Time to ask the athlete a few questions.

“Have time for an interview?”

Ooh, gonna quiz me, brah? I’m gonna CRUSH your questions!

“Who are you?”

Snorpy Fizzlebean! I skate.

“Skateboarding is a job?”

It's a way of life, dude. And I don’t just skate! I lift every now and again. Anything that needs to go up; logs, buildings, balls, Chandlo — that’s what I do!

“Why come to Snaktooth island?”

To push myself to the max, I gotta go somewhere gnarly. I heard nobody ever comes back from this island... sounds like the ultimate challenge to me!

“That's fine for you, but what about Chandlo?”

Hey, I'm always looking out for Chandlo! I know that roughing it ain’t his thing, but... there’s no way I’d come here without him!

“How did you two become a thing?”

I dunno what you mean, brah. We're like the moon and the sun; we’ve been together since the dawn of time!

“Thoughts on Bugsnax?”

Bugsnax are strong! Like, a primal kinda strong! Like, they’re the kings of these jungles, and I gotta respect that!

“Why did you leave town?”

Dude, Snaxburg was a disaster without Eggabell! I couldn't stop all the fighting with boardin’ OR wisdom... I had to keep things chill for Chandlo’s sake. He's got a buncha that social anxiety.

“Any info on Eggabell?”

Eggabell is top notch, ya feel me? She really inspires me to push it to my limit. But uh, that's about it. I'm more tighter with Lizbert.

“Alright, well, what can you tell me about Lizbert?”

Lizbert’s a sweetie. She was always lookin' out for us. She showed me how to stay safe while still pushin' my limits. But she always forced herself wayyy outta her comfort zone.

“She worked out with you?”

Yeah, she asked me to train her. Surprised the grump outta me cuz I never thought she’d be interested in that kinda stuff. We'd go runnin' every morning and liftin' after lunch. Though, she’d get pretty hard on herself. But she never gave up and I respect that.

“What happened to Lizbert and Eggabell?”

Beats me. Those two were strong together. I can't think of anything that could knock 'em down! They gotta be okay out there somewhere.

“Thanks, Snorpy, you really 'slam dunked' my questions! Eh? Eh? Get it?”

Dude, that's not — just... don't.

Anyway, I was recording Lizbert's progress while we worked out. She shared some pretty personal stuff, so maybe this’ll help you get her back to us.

Don’t let me down, dude!

My very convincing and not all circumstantial list of evidence that the Bugsnax journalist is attracted to Chandlo (It's very circumstantial):

They try to imitate the way he speaks a couple of times, but based on Chandlo's reactions, they just come off as awkward. Journalist: Thanks, Chandlo, you really "slam dunked" my questions. Chandlo: Bro, that's not- just... don't. Chandlo: I gotta be stronger than a Grumpus! I gotta push my limits, ya feel me? Journalist: [Option 1] I feel ya. [Option 2] Word. Chandlo: (looks unhappy) Uh... (squints) I need your help to bulk up. As far as I can remember, Chandlo is the only one they do this to, or even seem particularly awkward around. They also mimic his speech style in a few places in their journal, but it's unclear whether or not they're just quoting things Chandlo said offscreen. Again, they only do this when talking about Chandlo. Do they want him to think they're cool or something? Because it seems to be having the opposite effect.

Look at this piece of art for Chandlo's main quest:

Assuming the Journalist is meant to have drawn the quest art in-universe, that's an interesting choice of framing. His arm is the focus of the image, to the point it takes up more than half its width. That is a muscular arm with some kind of snout guy attached. I know Chandlo has large arms and is always flexing, but still...

Finally, the descriptions for the interview quests all have variations on "time to ask the [occupation name] questions." For example, they call Wiggle a musician, Floofty a scientist, and Cromdo a salesman. Chandlo, though, gets called a "beefcake". They could have called him a builder, like in his profile, or a carpenter or a basketballer, but they went with beefcake.

Unnecessarily long explanation on why I really like Shelda actually

HEAR ME OUT!! Feel free to disagree, but I really like Shelda, and I would like to lay out why i disagree when people often gloss over the finer details of her character due to dismissing her because of how she spoke and such. This is just a big list of apologetics because I see people talking about her with such disdain and I want to point some stuff out.

She's undeniably a fraud, but I think what's most important are her motivations, she says explicitly herself that she speaks as she does and preaches as much as she does to try 'inspire' the others, even if this is kind of silly she's trying to help, she fully believes that the bugsnax are harmful and dangerous and she thinks that presenting herself the way she does is the best way to help the others - ultimately she wants to save them.

And it's not entirely false? Whilst everybody else seems irritated by it Chandlo sees her as a source of wisdom and inspiration, even if her ultimate message about bugsnax doesn't actually work with him.

And then the other aspect of her character - not just is she a fraud, but she's a huge hypocrite. But hear me out again. I don't think you can blame her for eating bugsnax, at all. She survives off sauce (like both the journalist and Gramble as revealed by Eggabell in her second interview) and whilst this is possible it's stated to be bad for their health, Gramble manages this but noteably! Shelda is in her sixties and is implied to have several physical health problems, which the others are not and do not.

I think ANYBODY in this state of health would succumb a bit eventually, and from there I don't think you can blame her at all, as it's established that bugsnax alter the way you think, they make you crave them, they're incredibly addicting, that's the point. One very old woman succumbing against her morals ONCE is to be expected and there was no way for her to know how horribly addicting bugsnax are - none of them knew and they don't know until Liz tells the journalist.

Interview Shellsy

Have time for an interview?

“Sure, I need the practice for when I get interviewed everyday! After all, gazillionaires get all sorts of attention.”

Who are you?

“Da da da dummmm, health guru, sales savant, future CEO of McBugs, THE ONE AND ONLY SHELLSY WOOLFACE!!”

Why come to Snaktooth Island?

“You see the future? I can tell you that Snorpy reeked of opportunity, he was on TV talking about some new super food and I wanted in on it! So I quit my dead-end job and followed!”

What was your job?

“I used to go door-to-door selling snake oil. Paid on commission.”

Thoughts on Bugsnax?

“Wha?! What do I think of?- Delicious! Addicting! Marketable! They’re gonna help me climb up the corporate ladder!”

Why did you leave town?

“Tch, I tried to make use of what Snorpy didn’t need anymore, and Buddy didn’t like that. They went around town shouting I was a thief.”

Weren’t you stealing though?

“I was SALVAGING! There’s a difference, one’s a crime, the other a community service. But Buddy planted evidence in my hut, they kept saying I stole their journal! So I did the right thing to do… I ran.”

Any information on Snorpy?

“Oh please, don’t get me started! Everyone here thinks he’s great but I’ve seen the truth! He came here to stroke his ego and show off to his boyfriend! We were disposable to him.”

Disposable? That’s pretty mean.

“That’s Snorpy Fizzlebean, when push came to shove, he left us.”

What do you mean?

“I won’t lie, I was thinking about sailing back home after everything that happened, but when I looked for the boat, it was gone! There’s two grumps missing, it’s simple math. Heh, I bet they’re living and loving life at the coast.”

Calm down, Shellsy, we’re finished.

“Yeah, I get it, I’m not the nicest here, but I learned real early in life that life is like a garbage truck. No matter how hard you dig, it’s still going to be trash. Go and check out where the boat was, you’ll see what I’m talking about.”
