Guuzy

**Person**

 **Body Part**

 **First Appearance**

*“West's stomach monster. Guuzy has to eat for West, which is kind of a problem, since West is vegan and Guuzy wants to eat...**everything**. Guuzy gets cranky when he doesn't get his way, but he loves West.”*
    —Cast page description

**Guuzy** (pronounced "goo-zee") is the monster of Desmond West, formed from his stomach.

## Biology

Guuzy is a red-and-pink monster who, like many monsters, closely resembles the body part he originated from. Guuzy's body has maintained the shape of a stomach, with his face forming where the stomach attaches to the pyloric sphincter. Rather than his mouth being connected to his face, however, Guuzy's mouth has instead appeared further up along the stomach.

In addition to four legs used to walk, Guuzy also has two limbs on either side of his head. Though they resemble long ears, they are actually additional appendages, and can be used with the same efficiency as a human's arms can. They possess a fair amount of strength as well, able to grab and throw West easily.

Guuzy has a large tongue inside of his mouth. Judging by its apparent wetness, Guuzy seems to produce saliva as well.

Though not always obvious, Guuzy's mouth forms expressions in much the same way as a standard human's face.

## Abilities

Guuzy is capable of producing several different kinds of goo, which he can then shoot out to attack. The properties of the goo vary with the color Guuzy makes.

* Green goo is corrosive, and capable of dissolving "almost anything".
* Blue goo is extremely sticky, useful in saving people from falls or blocking off things like security cameras. It naturally dissolves over time, usually about two to three hours, though some instances of it have lasted for nearly a day. When Rixis hits it with his lasers, it will explode.  It can trap a wild ghost.
* Purple goo helps accelerate healing on minor cuts and bruises. Despite its seemingly minor usage, Wanda Lulenski has described it as "more potent than she imagined".

* Pink goo can be inflated like a balloon, allowing him to float short distances.  The bubble can be launched out, and still retains its floating properties.

## History

Some months before the events of *Monster Pulse*, West took Julie Greathouse for a walk, hoping to comfort the new girl after a hard day at school. They encountered two ghosts, which possessed each of them, one forming Guuzy from West's stomach, and the other forming Kera from Julie's hair.

Wanda Lulenski, operating as a field agent for SHELL on her first mission, watched as Guuzy began to take shape.

## Relationships

### Abel

Though not often seen together, Abel and Guuzy seem to have a sort of friendship between each other. Abel trains Guuzy with West, and confidently directs him in battle.  Abel also made Guuzy a clay statue for a Secret Santa exchange, which Guuzy was delighted by.

### Greenie

Though initially jealous of Greenie for taking so much of West's attention, Guuzy has a much kinder relationship with the baby monster since reconciling with West. Guuzy now cheerfully plays with Greenie and her human, Bea, and gives both plenty of physical affection.

## Trivia

* Guuzy is named for West's favorite character in the fictional game *Bubble Millennium 8*.
* Magnolia considers Guuzy her favorite monster to draw, because "he's cute and more expressive than the other monsters".
