qubert’s proximity audio features a song titled “Sneaky Pants (a) 60”. The original audio is unknown, likely due to its deletion and potential copyright issues. During the January 12 Update, Qubert received new audio.
qubert’s jumpscare audio is sourced from the 1946 film Great Expectations. The scream can be heard here at the 1:08 timestamp. This scream is also used in another horror game called “Scary Tic Tac Toe Game.”

== Gameplay==
===Strategy===
qubert, being the slowest nextbot in the game by a significant margin, generally poses minimal threat to players in most situations. However, his slow speed can enable him to guard doors or passageways for extended periods. If a player remains in one location for an extended time or is in an area with limited exits, it is crucial to stay aware of qubert’s position and ensure he does not block any potential escape routes.
==Lore==
According to uglyburger0, the normal snail was discovered in a sewer near radioactive waste. Upon contact with the waste, the snail transformed into a drawing, grew in size, became two-dimensional, and turned into a killer.

== Trivia ==
*qubert formerly had no audio, similar to benny.
*qubert’s speed multiplier is 0.33x, making it the slowest nextbot in the game, as it is based on a real-life snail.
**As of the Arcade Update, qubert’s speed is now comparable to the average nextbot’s speed.
**However, a bug was fixed, restoring qubert’s original speed.
**Despite this, as of the St. Patrick’s Day Update, the bug has reoccurred. When the player uses the possessor boost with around 5 seconds or less remaining, qubert’s speed becomes that of a normal nextbot. This can also happen when qubert is spawned from the admin panel in the spawn tab. This issue remains unresolved.
* It is not officially confirmed, but Qubert’s name may be inspired by the arcade game Q*bert.
*In testing servers, qubert was previously called “snale.”
*When possessing qubert, using the speed boost results in a 5x multiplier.
