==Appearance==
Pilby appears as a white anthropomorphic caterpillar with four arms and a light green, cyan green, and azure coloured abdomen. The two extra arms also extrude from the abdomen. They have pink hair to go along with their azure hat, pink bowtie, and cyan green nose. They are slightly shorter than the average Robloxian.
In their 2024 April Ghouls' Update appearance, they are the Korblox Deathspeaker Roblox package.
==Description==
Pilby is a gloomy, downtrodden NPC. They constantly look down on themself and are easily frightened by the more high-strung NPCs. They often talk about or make reference to their mother, who is stated to be trapped in another dimension. They have a habit of saying "ough" or ending sentences with a clown-like emoticon (":0(").
Pilby will appear during the WHEEL OF floor. If the spinner lands on any event except for “SPECIAL”, Mach will whistle out to Pilby to enter the elevator.
