I made a very (not very) quick ref sheet of Skooble !! A good way to persuade them is give them a Tropicabug :0 )

Usually when people talk about their least favorite snax it's ones that are hard or annoying to catch. I wanna hear the snak that you dont like for literally no reason. For example, I don't like Stewdler, or Flutterjam, or Tropicabug, and I don't have any real reason to

Tropicabug Snakification Modifications!

I once again got to flex my TextureLab skills by recreating the grilled pineapple and prawn patterns to use for the body, and I think that turned out nicely! I also spent a fair amount of time turning the prawn model into horns, which I am very pleased with the end result of.

I didn't mind the original pineapple teeth at all, but with my new body texture they blended into it too much. Making them purple onion slices helped them to stand out more.

Though to be fair, I should keep in mind more that the whole point of snakifications is to mix and match looks. That said, I've hit the randomizer on a few grumpuses and been pretty pleased with the result most of the time.

Heyy doodle idea for you- could you draw snorpy with a tropicabug? I really like the little scan note he has about the tropicabug and it'd be cute to see them drawn together

“While Floofty and I do not have much in common, we do share a scientific stubbornness. I once spent several weeks on the beach trying to catch a single Tropicabug. While I did succeed, my resulting sunburn lasted for a month afterwards.”

I have a feeling Snorpy is a bit bitter about the journalist getting to know how a Tropicabug can be caught while he had to figure it out themselves.

THE CHARACTER SYMBOLISM BETWEEN THE GRUMPUSES AND THEIR BOSS SNAX

Part 1

Spoilers for the entire game, including the DLC! This is also just my interpretation, there are plenty of possibilities!

Mama Mewon, Daddy Cakelegs, Mothza Supreme, and Megamaki. These are the main boss snax of Bugsnax. Cheddarboardle is one of the DLC bosses, but is still somewhat iconic as well!

These bosses have always been very interesting to me both biologically and gameplay-wise, but I recently noticed something.

These boss snax are here to show you things about the Grumpuses emotionally.

Let’s start with Mama Mewon. She attacks you when you catch her baby Mewons, who seem to leap into any snak-catching thing they can. Chandlo asks you to take this snak down to make him stronger so he can protect Snorpy.

Mama Mewon and Baby Mewon is about how Chandlo perceives himself and Snorpy.

Chandlo believes he has to become stronger (like Mama Mewon) to protect Snorpy, who he perceives as being helpless (Baby Mewon) and constantly throwing himself into danger. (Like how the Baby Mewons throw themselves into the Snak Trap.)

Now for Daddy Cakelegs.

Similarly to Mama Mewon, this is about how Snorpy perceives himself and Chandlo. One thing I’d like to point out about Daddy Cakelegs is that he hides out in the snow for as long as he can (or at least until he’s forced out). This is similar to Tropicabug, whose snack scope entry reads the following:

“Stays hidden forever once scared. Or at least until an aggressive Snak attacks.”

You know which Grumpus comments on this? Snorpy, with the following:

“Wait a minute...that's MY strategy!”

What a coincidence that Snorpy’s strategy is EXACTLY what Daddy Cakelegs does, with the aggressive bugsnak attacking it being of course the player. (Who is not a bugsnak but you get what I mean)

Similarly to the baby Mewons, the baby Cakelegs also play a role here!

The baby Cakelegs lead the player to the daddy Cakelegs unintentionally, similarly to how Snorpy feels that if Chandlo knows about what he’s facing, Chandlo would accidentally lead his enemies to him.

TLDR; Mama Mewon and baby Mewon are a representation of how Chandlo feels like he has to protect Snorpy from danger, danger that he feels like Snorpy is constantly getting himself into.

Daddy Cakelegs and baby Cakelegs are a representation of Snorpy’s belief that people are after him and that Chandlo will accidentally lead his enemies (the player for daddy cakelegs, the grumpinati for Snorpy) straight to them, endangering both Snorpy and himself.

That’s just my interpretation, though! I’m sure there are a bunch of other things this could be.

I will be back to add onto this but if you think of anything to add please do!!

Caaaaan we get uhhh Skooble lore ? Who ARE they?

"Names Skooble Sleepymaw. I'm from [̷̙͉͊͝r̶̢̘͐̚ẻ̴̟͍d̷̘̝͝a̸̬̙̍c̵͚͑t̶̲͆ͅe̴̲̙̓̈́d̴͓̗̍]̴̙̂ . You could call me a representative of [̷̙͉͊͝r̶̢̘͐̚ẻ̴̟͍d̷̘̝͝a̸̬̙̍c̵͚͑t̶̲͆ͅe̴̲̙̓̈́d̴͓̗̍]̴̙̂ I guess. They never really gave me a prime objective here aside monitoring the [̷̙͉͊͝r̶̢̘͐̚ẻ̴̟͍d̷̘̝͝a̸̬̙̍c̵͚͑t̶̲͆ͅe̴̲̙̓̈́d̴͓̗̍]̴̙̂. . Ah y'know you're probably not gunna understand those words are ya? [̷̙͉͊͝r̶̢̘͐̚ẻ̴̟͍d̷̘̝͝a̸̬̙̍c̵͚͑t̶̲͆ͅe̴̲̙̓̈́d̴͓̗̍]̴̙̂ alters anything that would be considered "sensitive" info that comes outta my gob. They're probably gunna warp me outta here any second actually...thanks for the Tropicabug, though! Next time I'll try and stop [̷̙͉͊͝r̶̢̘͐̚ẻ̴̟͍d̷̘̝͝a̸̬̙̍c̵͚͑t̶̲͆ͅe̴̲̙̓̈́d̴͓̗̍]̴̙̂ from making me blink so we can actually chat more. I get lonely out here. "

I just wanted to say that me and skulls-soul love your work so much. It's probably not that hard to tell but we are massive fans, your King Boo's are amazing, and your art as a whole is just awesome to look at. We love your art

Anyways I should probably leave an ask since this is the ask box so, which one out of the 3 KB's is your favorite to draw? If you don't have a specific one then which do you prefer the design of. I would love to hear headcanon's about them if you are willing to share

Waaa thank you guys that means so much 🥺

I love drawing them all ofc! It's so hard to choose which one I prefer the design of also, they all have good things 😔 but I'm pretty sure Sunshine's my fav one out of the three designs :3

And I have a few HC's I've been thinking about latley

#1: ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN HIT BY THE AUTISM BEAM

Dark Moon:

Loves to paint in their spare time, mainly studies of the plants he owns :3. Sometimes Prisboo paints with them-

Doesn't understand most slang words or memes/jokes so it usually asks their siblings to translate/explain some things (poor thang got destroyed by you just lost the game bc of them....and you did too B])

Plays chess sometimes and makes their siblings play with them, Party's good at it while Sunshine is still learning

Learned to cook because of Luigi and has enjoyed doing it ever since, likes baking the most. They also love making Focaccia bread because of the flower designs :3

Hates bright lights, prefers to be in dim barely lit rooms

Very introverted, likes to stay at home most of the time- except when visiting his siblings, Luigi and Peach (I see them as besties)

Goes by Boosimir, only some people can call them that though

Party:

She enjoys reading when they're not busy, specifically sci-fi and horror. They have a large collection of books as well

They love playing video games such as Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing and Pikmin (he also likes games like Doom :3)

Sometimes goes invisible to sneak into games, did this once in Mario Super Sluggers (they do this at Movie Theaters also)

Is the oldest by a few minutes, calls Dark Moon little sibling because of it hehe- and Sunshine is the youngest

Besties with Daisy >:3

Very competitive (Becomes a menace in Mario Kart, mainly bc of how I play hehe)

Likes to host parties sometimes, mainly for other Boo's though- it's not too fond of people

Dislikes loud noises but tolerates them

Used to go by Big Boo before being King (sm64), but is also called Boodwin

Sunshine:

Grows his own herbs (if you know what I mean hehe), DM actually helped them figure out how to start growing them too

It's favorite fruit is durian :3, pineapples and mangoes are also a big fav of theirs

Likes getting tattoos, like the Phanta Manta one on their back :3- also lets others draw on him sometimes, mainly the lil boos

Is more of an cool uncle than a dad to the Boo's, though some of them call him dad sometimes

More outgoing than the other two, usually the best at making friends with others. When you work at a Casino you're gonna be interacting with a bunch of people so yeah-

Sometimes makes people lose on purpose, esp if they were rude to the staff. And finds it hilarious when people waste all their coins on a game.

Enjoys traveling on their free time, been just about everywhere on Isle Delfino and the other Islands surrounding it :3

Goes by Tropicaboo (which is named after Tropicabug from Bugsnax bc I am a nerd)
