**Popby** is the baby form of Bubblist. It is native to Planet Ch'in. Bubblists are very protective of their young Popbies.

## History/Lore

Popbies are little Bubblists, in a sense. They aren't quite as strong as their fully-grown selves... at least, not yet. They are protected by their parents due to fear that predators may snag their babies at any time... and that hunch is completely correct. Danger lurks around every corner on Planet Ch'in, after all. From possessed arts-and-crafts projects to deadly octopi to electric snakes... there's no shortage of monsters around every corner on the planet.

## Stats

HP: 79

ATK: 48

DEF: 35

PRI: 0

CRT RT: 10%

CRT DMG: 1.2x

Regular Attack: Bubble Bounce (Popby bounces high into the air, then lands on the enemy. This attack deals low damage to a single target.)

Special Attack: Fake Tears (Popby cries crocodile tears to try to lower the enemy's attack out of sympathy. However, should Popby attack the enemy whose attack was lowered, their attack stat will return to normal.)

### Stat Analysis

Popby has low stats all around. For his regular attack, he bounces up into the air, then lands on the enemy. This deals a little bit of damage to the target. For his special attack, he cries fake tears to try and make the enemy lower their attack out of sympathy. Depending on who it's used on, this may or may not work. Should it work, you should try to avoid hitting the target with Popby, or their attack stat will return to normal. In short, Popby is not much of a threat. You just can't take a wee bubble seriously.

## Relationships

### Wirden

Wirden is the natural predator of Popby. One false move, and Popby might just become dinner for Wirden! That, and its grass magic is quite powerful on Popby.

### Pixiblaze

While Popby may not pose much of a threat to Pixiblaze, Bubblist will step in to extinguish Pixiblaze's fire should it wander into the wrong turf.

### Bubunch and Bubblist

Bubunch is seen as the "teenage" phase for Popby, and Bubblist is the "adult" phase. One day, though, they're doomed to pop. Some earlier than others.

### Dredderfly

Popby is scared of Dredderfly, and there's not a lot Bubblist can do to ward it off, unfortunately for their young Popby.

### Colderpillar, Icicoon, and Frostyfly

Neither of them has any real advantages on the other. Bubblist does gain an upper hand on them, though, because hands can crush ice... or at least, *some* ice.

### Zerpip, Slitherbolt, and Gigavipe

The whole family line of Gigavipe's is a danger to Popby and its own family line. However, Bubblist will sacrifice itself to buy its children time to run for their lives.

### Harmutt

Popby is terrified of Harmutt. Shame there's nothing Bubblist can do to protect its little ones from this ghostly armored hound. However, its flames aren't the best weapon to use on a bubble...

### Melodragon

Melodragon is weak to Bubblist and its fists, so it doesn't mess around with the little Popbies they watch over.

### Polygan

Polygan is weak to Bubblist's fists, so it doesn't even bother treading on Bubblist's turf to begin with. If it sees Bubblist, it skedaddles.

### Chillder

Chillder is weak to Bubblist's water magic, but since it only lives in caves found in snowy areas, it doesn't really have much to fear. Even if Bubblist made it to the snowy caverns, it would more than likely freeze before it could erode Chillder.

### Outlit and Shoutlet

Outlit and Shoutlet are major threats to Popby and Bubblist.
One good scream from Shoutlet can electrocute Popby and even Bubblist.

### Mockpuppet

Mockpuppet isn't bothered by the fists of Bubblist. After all, he *is* a ghost. Popby aren't quite as terrified of Mockpuppet as they are other ghosts.

### Mekra and Mekrustation

Mekra and Mekrustation's steel claws are quite pointy. One false move and it's game over for Popby and Bubblist alike. Furthermore, their fists are ineffective ob Mekra and Mekrustation.

### Bigwouth

Bigwouth is able to easily pop Popby with its saw mouth. Bubblist can break its rock body, though, and send it to the surface to die.

### Sodo and Drifdump

Both Drifdump and Bubblist have resistance to the other's attacks. However, Drifdump can take more hits from Bubblist thsn Bubblist can from Drifdump. Popby have been seen playing nicely with Sodo on some occasions.

### Timure

Timure is a predator of Popby's. If it sees an opportunity to snag a Popby for dinner, it will gladly pick up the defenseless bubble baby.

### Curser

Curser is quite scary to little Popbies. Bubblist can't fight off the cursed mouse pointer using standard means, but a good dousing with water magic will do the trick just fine.

### Mettamonst

Mettamonst is quite scary for a small guy like Popby. Furthermore, it has razor-sharp arms that can be catastrophic to the bubble baby.

### Boomblaze

While Boomblaze's steel body resists the fists of an angry Bubblist, it is quite weak against Bubblist's water magic. If it csn extinguish Boomblaze's fuse, then it no longer poses any threat to Bubblist or its young.

### Armordillo

Armordillo is weak to Bubblist's water magic, but resistant to its fists. The same holds true for Popby, albeit Popby can't do much to the large shelled creature.

### Octopois

Octopois and Bubblist seem to hardly interact. This may be because it's not often that Octopois travels to the higher levels of the ocean.

### Razine

Razine resists Bubblist's fists. Surely, there's a way to take down this steel sharpener with poisonous spikes, right?

### Psiroch, Folden and Snappaw

Psiroch won't dare enter Bubblist territory due to fears of being eroded. Folden and Snappaw, however, might just be able to come out on top should they run across a Bubblist and its young.

### Reversia

While in her cheery form, she has the upper hand on Bubblist, and to an extent, Popby. However, when she's in her evil form, then she loses said advantage.
