Pobber

Pobbers are small rodent-like mammals native to the fungal forests of Venus. Unlike their distant cousins, the Kuaka, pobbers lack spinal claws and possess more pronounced fur, larger eyes, longer snouts, and smaller ears. They are completely herbivorous, likely feasting on Mytocardia Spores found on the Orb Vallis floor. Due to how common they are, Sawgaws and Virmink regularly hunt them.
==Subspecies==
===Sunny===
Whilst also visually appealing, the Sunny Pobber's coats help them blend in with their fungal surroundings quite well. Like their more common cousins they also possess a poor odor, possibly in an attempt to stave off potential predators.
When captured via Conservation they will reward the following:
Perfect	Good	Bad
 	 	
===Delicate===
Due to being directly descended from domesticated pets, Delicate Pobbers are weaker and, incidentally, not encountered as much as other pobbers. They also lack their species signature repulsive smell, making them potentially good pets.
When captured via Conservation they will reward the following:
Perfect	Good	Bad
 	 	
===Subterranean===
Having evolved to survive solely underground, Subterranean Pobbers almost never visit the surface and, consequently, their general population is unknown. Thought it is not definite, they are likely an adaptation unique to the Orb Vallis.
When captured via Conservation they will reward the following:
Perfect	Good	Bad
 	 	
==Notes==
*Like Kuaka, pobbers are only found in groups of three.
*When spotting Sunny Pobbers, The Business will comment that they are "slightly less common than your garden variety". This unnamed subspecies has yet to be encountered in-game.
*Despite The Business claiming that Subterranean Pobbers possess "vibrant pink eyes", their eyes are clearly cyan.
==Flavor Dialogue==
==Trivia==
*Pobbers closely resemble the real-life Jerboa a hopping desert rodents.
*It also has similarities to the Quokka, the namesake for the Kuaka.
