Chompy

**Chompy** is a baby Chomper born from the Chomper Seed obtained after defeating Mother Chomper in Chomper Cave. After finding the Tardigrade Shield medal and the Heaven Key, the seed can be given to Professor Honeycomb to sprout it. Chompy serves as an optional supportive party member to Team Snakemouth.

## Appearance

Chompy has a pink bud, with light orange petals attached to its back, as well as a pale yellow stem. She seems to have a smile on her face rather than an angry frown, due to her harmless nature from being brought up in Professor Honeycomb's lab. When a Ribbon is given to her, the ribbon is equipped near her petals.

Team Snakemouth can change Chompy's name when she is first born and later by talking to Hawk in the lab.

## History

Midway into their adventure (sometime after the events of Chapter 3), after Leif learns the Bubble Shield skill, they explore a cavern known as Chomper Cave, located along the Golden Path. Within it, they defeat the optional Boss Mother Chomper.

After obtaining a Chomper Seed from defeating Mother Chomper, the party takes it to Defiant Root's Bee Kingdom Hive, delivering it to Professor Honeycomb. After Hawk returns from investigating the desert after Team Snakemouth acquires the Tardigrade Shield, Professor Honeycomb allows the seed to incubate and eventually grow into the team's fourth member, a baby Chomper whose name defaults to **Chompy**, but can be changed to anything Team Snakemouth desires.

## Battle Stats

Chompy has three moves: Attack, Do Nothing, and Change Ribbon. The attack is a bite with a base damage of 2, and it will automatically target the nearest ground enemy. To perform the action command, press the button shown when the icon turns green. If the action command fails or if there are no available targets, Chompy will trip over and no damage is dealt. She can gain access to higher stats or more attack with Ribbons.

In HARDEST mode, Chompy's attack power is 1 higher.

Chompy always stands behind all team members and cannot act until all main party members have acted. If you have a helper on your team, they'll act after Chompy. She also doesn't have HP and thus is never targeted by enemies.

## Ribbons

Ribbons can enhance Chompy's stats or attacks, depending on its type. To equip a Ribbon, leave Chompy at the lab or at her bed in the team's house and give her the ribbon you want her to equip, or you can change it during the battle.

 **Drowsy Ribbon** | Just looking at this ribbon somehow makes you sleepy, what kind of use could it have?
 **Shocking Ribbon** | A magic ribbon infused with shocking magic, what use could it have?
 **Venom Ribbon** | A ribbon infused with a poisonous substance, what use could it have?
 **Team Ribbon** | A magic ribbon that somehow increases teamwork! What use could it have?

Ahoneynation

**Ahoneynation** is a mid-boss in Chapter 3 in Honey Factory. It's encountered in the Honey Factory Storage, ambushing Team Snakemouth after trapping Team Mothiva. After it is defeated, Zasp gives the Team Snakemouth a Factory Pass needed to open a door in the Honey Factory's Storage.

The Abombination item will heal Ahoneynation for 10 HP instead of damaging it.

## Attacks

**Abomihoney Spit:** The Ahoneynation spits out one or two globs of honey at a single party member, dealing 3 damage and causing Numb if not blocked. The globs have a chance of turning into an Abomihoney and joining the battle, if they are blocked and there are less than two Abomihoneys present. These Abomihoneys have 3 HP, 2 ATK, -1 DEF (though attacks with piercing are unaffected), and can merge with Ahoneynation, healing the boss by their current HP. The chance of summoning an Abomihoney is higher on Hard Mode.‍ **The chance of summoning an Abomihoney is higher on Hard Mode.**

**Smash:** The Ahoneynation hops towards the party, then sprouts a large, muscular arm and slams its fist on a party member, dealing 5 damage.

**Charge:** The Ahoneynation spins around a few times, then tenses itself, preparing to use Charged Slam on the next turn. It gains Defense Up for one turn after using this move on Hard Mode.‍ **It gains Defense Up for one turn after using this move on Hard Mode.**

**Charged Slam:** The turn after using Charge, the Ahoneynation jumps on the party while spinning, dealing 4 damage to the entire party.

Ant

Janet, a regular Ant.

**Ants** are a species in Bugaria. They were one of the first to settle in the land, and their kingdom is home to many different species of bugs.

They have hardworking guards, miners, and storers among their ranks, along with institutions such as the Bank of Bugaria and the palace library. Their new queen, Queen Elizant II, tries to live up to the precedent set by her mother.

## History

The Ant Kingdom used to have a tolerant and welcoming queen, Elizant I, who ended wars with no combat, and managed to keep a stable relationship with other kingdoms. The current Queen, by contrast, has made decisions considered bad by the public, such as instituting a ban on all ladybugs from entering the kingdom.

## Appearance

The regular Ant has tan skin, a pair of antennae, an abdomen, and big round eyes. Their limbs are mostly thin and segmented.

## Personality

Ants are generally a peaceful species, with the exception of a few, such as Monsieur Scarlet. They are hardworking, and have a lot of respect for their Queen.

## Trivia

## Appearance

Bomby has tawny skin and brown fur. His stripes alternate between a sandy color and a tawny color. He has a beak and large, shiny, black eyes.

He is quite short, not much taller than Ann or Tod, only passing their heights when he wears his distinctive top hat.

## Personality

Bomby's childish personality is highly dependent on whether or not he is wearing his top hat, a prized gift from his mother. With his top hat, he is unusually confident, and tries to charm bugs like Vi by calling her a "cutie bee," which never fails to bother her. However, without it, he loses all his pride, and becomes miserable. When his hat is returned to him, he then immediately regains all of his confidence.
Banna

**Banna** is a Bee found on Metal Island. She is, according to Vi, a bee who left the hive to pursue as a waitress.

## Personality

She is portrayed as very diligent and proud. Vi comments not understanding her motives for wanting to "work for someone else" after leaving the Hive. Her physical appearance is reminiscent to that of a traditional butler, which is fitting to how she is shown to take pride in keeping the hallways of the Metal Island's resort hotel clean.
Elom

Elom when you first meet him.

**Elom** is a hidden character located in a cave across a river west of the entrance to the Golden Path Tunnel. Leif's icicle skill is required to reach him. He gives you the quest In Search of Something where he asks you to go find a "Golden Paradise." This "Golden Paradise" is, in part, hinting at the Golden Hills, where Goddess Venus resides.

Bandits (organization)

This article is about the group. For the enemy, see Bandit.

A banner showing the bandits' symbol.

In order to delay the collection of the Ancient Artifacts, the Wasp Kingdom ask the bandits to capture Team Snakemouth. The bandits eventually succeed after their leader sells the team the key to the Bandit Hideout, ambushing them there using the Earth Key as bait.

The bandits were promised payment from the wasps in exchange for capturing the team, however, they never received any.

At the end of their escape, Team Snakemouth defeats Astotheles in battle. Afterwards, Astotheles asks the team to defeat the wasps as revenge for their betrayal, giving away the Earth Key, and allowing the team to leave freely.

Carmina

**Carmina** is a character first found in the Underground Tavern. She specializes in Spy Cards, and introduces it to the Team when first talked to. She can later be found on Metal Island, as an opponent in the tournament arena and as a secret mid-boss. She was designed by CasketCat.

## Appearance

Carmina is a red and black Velvet Ant. She has patterns on her body in the style of traditional card suits; red heart and diamond shapes on her front, and black spades on her abdomen. She also wears a magenta choker around her neck and consistently has playing cards readied in her hand like a fan.

## Personality

As a frequent gambler, Carmina is often proud of her keen skills when playing against others, and loves nothing more than to win berries off of any overconfident or unprepared opponent. However, she takes her fair losses in stride.

## Battle Information

The team fights her when they run into her by digging through the crack in the tournament arena and reach her private room. In this battle, she has average stats comparing to other mini-bosses fought at the same time (assuming Team Snakemouth is at the end of Chapter 3: Factory Inspection, the earliest time for Team Snakemouth to be able to enter the tournament), but her attacks are random.

She begins her turn by spinning a roulette. Depending on where it lands, it may heal or injure ally-or-enemy for 3, boost Carmina's stats, among other results. Her card toss attack inflicts a random status effect if not blocked, and her dice attack will deal a fixed amount of damage from 1 to 6 (regardless of Team Snakemouth's defense or game modes) depending on its result.

## Strategies

Because of her random status attack, it can undermine Team Snakemouth's plans if using status-based strategies to defeat her.

The randomized and uncontrollable dice can be problematic if the team has bad luck when hit by it.

As her randomness implies, Team Snakemouth can get very lucky or very unlucky while fighting Carmina. However, if Team Snakemouth is prepared well enough, she can be overcome.

## Trivia

* Despite Carmina being called a 'Velvet ant', the family *Mutillidae* are actually a type of solitary wasp.
* Losing a battle against Carmina in Metal Island does not result in a Game Over. Instead, a cutscene is shown where Team Snakemouth gets kicked out of Carmina's room as she shuts the door behind them.
* Carmina can actually be first seen during the Golden Festival, dueling Arie. This gives foreshadowing to the latter's card master status, prior to the team learning about Spy Cards.
* Carmina was originally going to smoke (presumably from her appearance at the Underground Tavern), but was cut due to drug/tobacco-use potentially raising the game's age rating. She was given a fan of cards to hold in some of her sprites instead.

Ougon-douji

**Ougon-douji** (黄金童子) is one of the supporting characters of the *Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi* series. She is the founder of the two inns, Tenjin-ya and Orio-ya. While she maintains an active role as mistress innkeeper of Orio-ya, she still holds authority over Tenjin-ya.

## Appearance

A rare blonde Zashiki-warashi with a petite figure and porcelain skin. She typically dresses in lolita attire, except with heavily traditional Japanese clothing influences. When outside, she has a Victorian-inspired parasol.

## Plot

The young girl arrives at the financially-struggling Moonflower one day because she smelled azuki and wished to eat some. Aoi had just finished her first attempt at making azuki milk gelatin and freely offers it. The young girl finds the food delicious. The two of them also talk of Aoi's ambition to keep the eatery running. In the end, the young girl gives Aoi her temari ball as a token of her thanks for the azuki. In the following days after the young girl's visit, the Moonflower is packed with guests, which saves the eatery from an early demise.

## Powers & Abilities

Arguably the strongest character shown, she is capable of high-leveled "spiriting away" and "paralysis" techniques.

### Spiriting Away

Under multiple instances, Ougon-douji was able to control Aoi Tsubaki to follow her commands. This leads to two separate abductions while others around her were incapable of doing anything. One instance is when Aoi and Ginji went to the Eastern Lands, and Aoi sees Ougon-douji in the crowd, ultimately leading Aoi to an underground storage room. The second instance when Orio-ya's air ship comes to pick Ginji up, and Aoi's disobedience leads to her being spirited away again.

### Paralysis

To stop a target from moving, Ougon-douji is capable of preventing the target from moving, as well as being able to put them to sleep.

## Relationships

### Ōdanna

When leaving Tenjin-ya she made Ōdanna the master innkeeper.

## Trivia

* The red color of the azuki bean has been thought to have magical powers and could herald good fortune and ward off evil. Perhaps it comes as no surprise, then, that a zashiki-warashi yokai, who heralds good fortune, was drawn to Aoi by such lucky food.
* While *douji* (童子) can simply mean child, which suits Ougon-douji's appearance, a douji is also a type of noh theater mask representing a young child with a fairy-like quality of eternal youth.

Eastern Lands

The **Eastern Lands** are a location found to the east of Bugaria, past the Dead Lands. It contains many rare and exotic fruits such as Tangy Berries and a variant of Dark Cherries that are reddish and grow on trees. These cherries are said to be so common that they aren't really sought after. It is also the homeland of the Fruity Bugs, bugs who exhibit fruit-like qualities and are avoided by other denizens interaction with Fruity Bugs due to, among other things, their strong, fruity odor.

Ali

**Ali** is a cicada who lives in the Ant City Residential Area. His house is a teacup, and is filled with books. The team can read one of a book in his home to learn about status effects.

In the quest Book Return!, he asks the team to return his overdue book to the library.

## Appearance

Ali appears to be a purple cicada with green wings. He wears round glasses. He has a slightly slouching posture.

## Personality

He is well-read, as he probably reads the many books stored in his home, and also enlists Gen and Eri's help to receive books from the palace library due to him not being an Ant. One of the books, describing status effects, suggests that he may have an interest in studying status effects. He gets very absorbed into his reading, and is so busy with reading, he doesn't have the time to deliver his overdue book to the palace library himself.

He prefers that the team deliver his overdue book to Libren rather than Brooke, because Brooke is less understanding. This turns out to be true, as Libren easily forgives the overdue book when the team delivers it, believing that they were too busy exploring.

Ali is afraid of returning his overdue book to her due to her temperament, and recommends that Team Snakemouth delivers it to Libren instead who is much more calm.
Bugaria Pier

The Bugaria Pier is an area in the Bugaria Outskirts that serves as the docking area for ships sailing to and from the Ant Kingdom through Metal Lake.

Aebees

**Aebees** is a bee that guards the entrance to the Far Grasslands from the Lost Sands.

## Personality

Aebees is very dedicated to her job, and loyal to her queen. She will refuse passage through the border to Wasp territory to anyone who asks.

Scolding herself for her failure to protect the gate, she heads to Defiant Root where she drowns her sorrows with Berry Juice at the bar.

Cenn

**Cenn** is a mid-boss fought alongside Pisci in the quest Explorer Check!. The first fight in Ant Kingdom's Residential area will have them both fleeing after taking some damage. After that they can be found near the southern exit of the Explorer's Association behind a fence, requiring Kabbu's dig ability to reach them. They can later be seen at Rubber Prison.

## Personality

Cenn is a thuggish troublemaker with little respect for authority. Being rejected as Explorers by Maki led to him and Pisci attempting to fake being official and trying to use a forged permit to take cheap items from Amber, and as shown in his in-battle reliance on graceless brute force, he has little problem resorting to violence when trickery falls short.

Despite this, during the Rubber Prison's occupation, he chooses to stay put and wait for the incident to blow over rather than take advantage of the Wasps' willingness to employ the prisoners, or simply use the chaos to escape or get revenge on Team Snakemouth, implying a sense of repentance for his deeds.

He and Pisci have a bond in their shared hooliganism, best reflected in how defeating one enrages the other and gives them a permanent attack boost.

## Battle Information

In battle, Cenn has two primary attacks -- bashing a single party member with his stick, or throwing it like a boomerang to hit twice. While simple, his surprisingly strong single-target damage can be troublesome if the player comes unprepared. Occasionally, he may also heal Pisci with a Crunchy Leaf.

His lack of defense unlike his partner means Cenn is often the easier of the two to defeat first. However, beware that if one of the rascals is defeated, the other will gain a permanent Attack Up upon their next turn.

## Trivia

* When Cenn and Pisci are paired together with Gen and Eri the phrase "Generic NPC" is made (Gen Eri Cenn Pisci).
Bea

**Bea** is a mellow bee waitress in the Underground Tavern, serving Doppel's Berry Juice to customers. She speaks in a Wild West/American Southern accent.

## Appearance

As a white bee, she is noticeably more lightly colored than most other bees in Bugaria. She holds a plate with Berry Juice, which she offers to customers.

## Personality

She is mild-mannered and described by Leif as a "renegade bee," since white bees tend to work outside of their hives.

## Spy

 * Underground Tavern

 **Vi** | Heheheh. Sounds right to me!
Eremi

* Sprite
* Official Art

**Eremi** is a resident of Defiant Root, who can be found in the museum at the beginning of Chapter 4. She offers the quest It's Too Hot!. She was created by Aurasisle (credited under her pre-transition handle, Meirdent).

## Personality

In spite of living in the mostly hot Defiant Root, Eremi often forgets the debilitating heat of the town and tries to ask for something that cools her down. She often travels and collects medals on her journeys, and likes thick forested areas.

## Trivia

	+ Her artwork in the Art of Bugaria (specifically her "chibi" design) is taken directly from this game.
* Her name comes from Eremiaphila, a genus of desert mantids.
* According to her creator, she pitched a "rainy place" as her location. This was, however, a guess, as they had no information of every location at the time and eventually settled on putting her on Defiant Root.
	+ She was also planned to have a side quest that revolved around Team Snakemouth protecting her from raindrops.
* Eremi is asexual.

Devourer

**Devourer** is one of the Bounties in the game. It is found in Golden Path and is accessible as soon as Vi learns Beemerang Halt and uses it at the wooden structure's crank, reach the top of it and walk north.

## Battle Information

It mainly attacks by splitting fast-paced acid balls at the party and breathing out poisonous gas at them, Occasionally (Every other turn, starting on turn 1) it will also summon flytraps to fight for it (with 8 HP on Normal and Hard Mode). The Flytraps do not need to be defeated to win the fight. It may also slam into the ground, launching the party into the air and potentially eating one of the party members, recovering its HP in the progress. The eaten party member cannot move, have an item used on them, or be targeted by other attacks, though their persisting HP/TP regeneration will not be affected. The boss will spit out a party member after 3 turns, or if the party member or the boss were defeated beforehand.

Considering how fast the projectiles move even at Normal Mode and the partner ejection which massively reduces the team's firepower as well as the poison effects which deals damage to the already largely harmed party, it is considered as the hardest battle in the Bounty, and arguably one of the hardest bosses in the entire game.

## Trivia

* It appears to be a monstrous, sentient version of a purple pitcher plant (*Sarracenia purpurea*).
* During the beta, the Devourer had a multitude of bugs. One notable example is when it would eat a party member, causing said member to never reappear.

Ant Kingdom

## Overview

The **Ant Kingdom** is one of the four major factions in *Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling*. It is ruled by Queen Elizant II during the events of the story. It encompasses the Ant Kingdom City and all of Bugaria Outskirts including Snakemouth Den and Bugaria Pier. The Ant Kingdom is also responsible for overseeing and guarding Rubber Prison and the entrance to Giant's Lair.

The Ant Kingdom is close allies with the Bee Kingdom.

## History

The Ant Kingdom started when Queen Elizant I led a group of ants in search of a place to settle. The initially arrived in the Forsaken Lands and founded the Ancient City but abandoned it at some point afterwards.

After an unspecified amount of time, the Ants eventually settled in Bugaria Outskirts, finding the location after searching for a lone, unnamed Ant that had gotten lost.

The reign of the first queen was noted as being very prosperous, establishing peaceful diplomatic relationships with the Bee Kingdom, as well as the normally isolationist Termite and Wasp Kingdoms.

Queen Elizant I had her people search for the The Everlasting Sapling for an unspecified reason, but was unable to find it before the end of her rule.

After the first queen's apparent death, Queen Elizant II was crowned the new ruler. Her debut speech "radiated power over kindness, leaving many uneasy."

The second queen was inexperienced in diplomatic affairs and was unable to maintain peaceful relationships with the Termite and Wasp Kingdoms. Although Queen Vanessa II, ruler of the latter, attempted to restart peace between the two nations, her efforts were eventually ended after the Wasp King took control.

At an unknown point in time, Queen Elizant II banned ladybugs from the kingdom in response to discovering a band of seventeen ladybugs that had been stealing aphid eggs from farmers. Ladybugs now require special permits to even visit the kingdom. With Levi being the only Ladybug with no restrictions probably because he’s an explorer.

Like the queen before her, Queen Elizant II was also searching for the Everlasting Sapling. She built the Explorers' Association and promised large rewards in the hopes of enticing explorers to aid in her search for the sapling. Until the events of the story, she was also largely unsuccessful in locating any of the Ancient Artifacts necessary for locating the sapling.

## Trivia

* According to Mar, he wanted to give the kingdom an Elizant III, though this was scrapped.

Diving Spider

**Diving Spiders** are enemies found in Stream Mountain or paired with Water Striders in the Metal Lake. They're also summoned by the Peacock Spider.

They attack by spitting multiple bubbles, targeting a random bug each time. The bubbles have a roughly equal chance to be either water or poison, which poison the targeted bug on a failed block. They can also spit bubble at two different trajectories, varying the block timing. In Hard Mode, this attack will hit 2-3 times instead of 1-2.

After attacking, they have a chance to put up a bubble shield around them, making them immune to all attacks for 1 turn. However, Leif's Cleanse can remove the shield immediately.
