Stick Bug

This page is for the Stick Bug NPC. For attack behaviour and the actual challenge, please see Stick Bug Challenge.
Stick Bug is an NPC that is found on the tallest mushroom in the Mushroom Field and is accessible by using the Red Cannon/Yellow Cannon/Blue Cannon with the Parachute/Glider, or using the Beekeeper's Boots and jumping from the second mushroom to the one with the Royal Jelly. Players will need a Translator to talk to Stick Bug, where they can then ask it to start the Stick Bug Challenge. Stick Bug then appears as a Boss Mob and always spawns in the Sunflower Field first. Upon defeat, it flees to a random field from this list:
* Sunflower Field.
* Clover Field.
* Strawberry Field.
* Bamboo Field.
* Pineapple Patch.
* Cactus Field.
* Pumpkin Patch.
* Mountain Top Field.
Stick Bug jumps into the Sunflower Field when the Stick Bug Challenge is started, and will not return to the Mushroom until the challenge ends. Near it is the Top Stick Bug Fighters Leaderboard. The player can start the Stick Bug Challenge for free every 1 and a half days (1d, 12hr), by initiating it anytime for 50 Tickets, or by giving Stick Bug a Present during the 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024 Beesmas Event.
When the challenge ends, the player will be awarded an amulet depending on their score (More information in the Stick Bug's Amulet page).
During the Egg Hunt 2019 Event Update, Stick Bug would plant an Epic, Legendary, and Supreme Sprout after finishing its Egg Hunt quest.
During Beesmas 2024, Onett would start a Festive Stick Bug Challenge randomly each day. When the Stickbug Challenge was started the rewards now also included , and Festive Nymph Blessing Tokens.

Quest 	Dialogue
Initial Talk without Translator 	Tsk tsk tsk tsk. T tuh tsk TSKK VRZz tsk tsk! (Stick Bug is speaking in bug noises)
(You are given a choice to use a translator or to leave.)
-Leave-
VRRZZZ. Tsk tsk.
-Give a Translator to Stick Bug-
(Skip to "Initial Talk with a Translator (first time)".)
Initial Talk with a Translator (first time) 	Hey there flesh-bug. I am Stick Bug. I move, I jump, I step to my own beat! I was here before the bees and honey. Jump into my world... You think you and your bees can take on me? Think you can match my stide? You'll be over in your head. But I'd like to see you try. Come back if you're brave.
Initial Talk with a Translator 	Hey there flesh-bug. Feeling brave? How about you and your friends join me in my dance? Once it starts. I'll hop into the fields. Deal as much damage to me as you can to me in 10 minutes to earn rewards. The higher the score the better they will be. Ready to get down?
-Cancel-
Cold feet? I'll wait.
-Start the challenge [Free Entry]-
Ok then - You're on flesh-bug!!
-Pay 50 Tickets to start the challenge-
Ok then - let's groove.
Giving a present (Beesmas exclusive) 	Beesmas is just another day.
Like any other day, it's a day to boogie.
Holidays come and go.
They blow past me like leaves in the wind until they crumble away.
But me and my nymphs, we've been dancing forever.
Heh heh.
(asks if you want to give Stick Bug a Present)
(If you give it a present:)
You're full of surprises [sic], flesh-bug.
Let's take a look in the box.
A reel-to-reel machine? How did you fit this in there?
Very cool. Let me set this up.
...
Now let's give it a whirl.
(Stick Bug Challenge Starts)
Exclusive Beesmas Dialogue 2020 (No longer available, translator required)	You beekeepers are funny with your seasonal traditions. You are given a choice to give a present to Stick Bug or continue talking like normal. You choose to give him a present. If you're having a tough year, remember things'll get better. Life is full of ups and downs. It's a bumpy ride, just gotta hang on tight. So, what did you bring me? ...(krumple krumple)... Hah! It's a wind-up "Get Stick Bugged" figurine. Yeah, of course I like that meme. Feels good to force even the non-beekeepers to hear my song when they least expect it. Speaking of, you better put this [Ornament] on the tree fast.

Quest 	Dialogue
Stick Bug's Ornament	Hey there flesh bug. Feeling festive? I can get down with that. Beesmas - doesn't mean much to me. But it brings a jolly energy to the mountain that I can certainly vibe with. Been watching you all put [Ornaments] up on that tree. Gave me an idea for an [Ornament] of my own. I'll tell you more about it later.

So, my [Ornament] There's [sic] this Beesmas song, "The 12 Days of Beesmas" It lists days 12 days [sic entire sentence], and the first is this: A Partridge in a Pear Tree. I figure since I look sort of like a tree, my ornament could represent that. Here, I made it while we were[sic] doing a challenge: The [Partridge In A Stick Bug Ornament]. With this on the Beesmas Tree, you'll receive the following boosts: +10% Capacity; +10% Pollen; x1.25 Pollen from the Cactus Field; And x1.25 Pollen from the Pepper Patch. It's a little rough, but I never claimed to be good at arts and crafts. Dance is my art. Happy holidays.

==Trivia==
*If the player gave Stick Bug a Present, started its Egg Hunt quest, started its 2019 Beesmas Quest, or finished any of its Beesmas quests (except for 2019), the Stick Bug Challenge would automatically start.
*Stick Bug, Shadow Bear, the Cub Buddies, Bee Bear and Spirit Bear are the only NPCs that dance.
*There is a glitch where Stick Bug may fall over from its regular location on top of the tallest mushroom. If this occurs, it will either be in the Dandelion Field, the Mushroom Field, or in between. Another glitch is on the Brave Bee Gate ramp you can walk to the bottom of the ramp and corner of the Bamboo Field where Stick Bug will get stuck and must teleport out.
*In Beesmas 2019, Stick Bug gave the most honey when given a present (33,333,333 Honey), the next being Panda Bear at only 5,000 Honey.
*If Stick Bug moves to the Mountain Top Field, it has a chance of falling and getting stuck in the Pineapple Patch or Pumpkin Patch.
*Stick Bug and Wild Windy Bee are the only mobs that are impossible to kill, as depleting all of their HP will only level them up and regain their HP.
*Stick Bug waves when the challenge ends.
*Stick Bug is one of the three NPCs that requires a translator to interact with, the others being Gifted Riley Bee and Gifted Bucko Bee.
*Stick Bug's boss fight theme became a popular bait-and-switch meme, growing far out from the BSS Community.
**Stick Bug is aware that it is the "Get Stickbugged lol" meme according to its Beesmas 2020 dialogue when you were to give him a present during Beesmas 2020.
*In Spirit Bear's dialogue, she states that Stick Bug scared her as a cub, which indicates that Stick Bug has been around for a long time.
*Stick Bug's Beesmas 2022 Quest originally gave 1 Caustic Wax, no Swirled Wax, no Planters, and 1 Invigorating Vial. This was soon buffed to 3 Caustic Wax, 3 Swirled Wax, Planter, and 2 Invigorating Vials.
*Stick Bug is the only NPC that can spawn Sprouts.
*As stated by Spirit Bear, Stick Bug loves pineapples.
