ITS PILLBUG CHILLCHUCK!!! BUGCHUCK!!!! CHILBUG!!!! PILLCHUCK!!!! teketekatekateketekateka (<- sound of him skittering across the floor)
this started out as a joke design but then i got really invested halfway through
(inspired by @buniix3's hc on this post and the many jokes about him being a bug)
as a side note, an explanation on a pun thats just for me : "teka" means "wait" or "hold on" in Filipino, but it also happens to be an onomatopoeia for bug/skittering noises, so when hes saying "teka! teka!" hes practically making bug sounds despite it being an actual word HAHAHA
+ some design notes :
- his two hair thingys on his head became antenna (<- as if they werent practically antenna already)
- his bag is/resembles a monkey cup (a plant shaped like a pitcher that lures prey in with nectar until they slip and fall into the "cup" and get digested - similar to that man-eating plant in ep. 2)! also i wanted to make it vaguely similar to the frog suit, just because i like that outfit and i feel that it should be memorialized
- i dont think this is true to actual pillbugs, but i made him have claw-like (or maybe hoof-like is more fitting) hands and feet because uhhh i thought itd be fun, + ants have them im pretty sure
- the open toed shoes are mostly because i wanted to show the hoofs but you could also reason that its for dexterity/agility purposes
anyways i like him... buggo.... beady ass eyes... love that guy
