Fruity Bug

The Fruity Bug is a rare race of animal/plant hybrid bugs hailing from the Eastern Lands, closely resembling real-world beetles. A Fruity Bug's form and personality are determined by their fruit-based diet as a grub. For example, a Tangy Bug like Tanjerin is a result of the grub's diet consisting primarily of Tangy Berries. Leafy accessories such as Tanjerin's bowtie are part of their bodies. They are generally lacking in intelligence and have a sweet odor, and they are avoided by the common denizens of the Eastern Lands as a result. While they resemble beetles, they are not considered the same as the Beetle race (e.g. Kabbu) due to their unique physiology. Most of the information about them is not said in-game and instead comes from their original creators, Carson "LightningAcorns" (a.k.a. Pines) and Kassie "purupurple."
== Subspecies ==
=== Tangy Bug ===
Fruity Bugs who are shaped like an orange due to eating Tangy Berries as a grub. They are remarkably strong and prideful, and are supposedly the most ambitious or adventurous variant. Known Tangy Bugs include Tanjerin and Skirby.
=== Cherry Bug ===
Fruity Bugs shaped like a cherry due to eating the reddish cherries native to the Eastern Lands (as opposed to Bugaria's Dark Cherries) as a grub. They make strong pair bonds, though these bonds can be familial or platonic. While Cerise (the only seen Cherry Bug) is capable of burrowing, it is supposedly atypical for a Cherry Bug to practice this skill.
