Spud Jumbotoe is a Garden District CRiTORA who ended up in the Abnormal District.
==Bio==
The Spud CRiTORA. Spud once worked as a potato farmer in the Garden District until they found themselves in a cold, unknown location. All this nervous, skittish CRiTORA wants is to continue their farming business.
===Personality===
Spud is a very paranoid CRiTORA, always fearing the worst will happen. They are kind at heart, however, and are willing to do what they can to help, such as when they gave the Mighty Trio flaming potatoes in Chapter 4. They speak in a muffled voice.

==Story==
===CRiTORA: abnormal===
Spud first appears in Chapter 3, being cornered by several yeti ViRUSES inside a large factory. After Caroline intervenes and defeats them, she leads Spud out of the factory, regrouping with Kepler and Isaac along the way. The four are blown out of the factory by Galileo, who summons a massive blizzard. They end up flying into Filmore's backdoor, with Spud officially joining the rest of the survivors. In Chapter 4, Spud provides the Mighty Trio with hot potatoes to keep them warm while searching for other CRiTORA. These would later prove useful, as Caroline ultimately uses her potato to melt the snow, saving her and Mirabel from being trapped inside a cabin. Spud also helped with rescuing Suk-ban while the Mighty Trio were absent. 
In Chapter 7, Spud helps Caroline prepare breakfast alongside Sweetpop and Cuckoo. Later, Spud notices Candace being attacked by ViRUSES, alerting the others and prompting them to help her. Spud then boards Candace alongside most of the smaller survivors. In Chapter 8, the survivors, including Spud, encounter VS for the first time, and promptly escape the Scorched Woods as they begin to crumble, inadvertently leaving the Mighty Trio behind in the process. 
In Chapter 9, Spud battles a gigantic V-Caroline alongside Sweetpop, Nostradamus and Bonkers. Though initially uncertain of what to do, Spud is encouraged by Nostradamus to attack, launching flaming potatoes at V-Caroline. This works only briefly, however, as V-Caroline slams Spud with her tail, infecting them. V-Spud then turns on the others, succeeding in infecting both Nostradamus and Bonkers. V-Spud later joins the other infected survivors in pursuing and attacking Slimy, who, after a lengthy chase, ultimately ends up infected as well. After the V-CRiTORA have a change of heart, Spud assists in destroying the broken pipe Slimy attacked, and is disinfected when it breaks open. Spud then boards Candace once more, continuing onward with the other survivors.
In Chapter 10, Spud is part of Candace's group, remaining terrified by the oncoming lava and rocks while the other CRiTORA work to destroy it. Eventually, they fly up through the Industrial District's trash hole alongside most of the other survivors, returning to the surface. Spud then helps to pull the Mighty Trio and Galileo up through the trash hole, rescuing them just as the Abnormal District is destroyed. 
==Trivia==
*They and the Caveman are the only Abnormal District residents to have appeared in both versions of CRiTORA: abnormal. 
**In the original version starring Osmehel, Darrell, and Ingrid, Spud was deleted in Origins by ERROR SCRAMBLED NAME.
