Potbelly

## Element(s)

**Baby Bio:**

> "*This wriggly sprout bursts with energy. He must be loosely tied to a stick as a reminder to stay in his container. A foolish Potbelly that has accidentally rooted in the ground is an absurd botheration to sort out.*"

>

**Adult Bio:**

> "*The mature Potbelly enjoys increased mobility and lives stick-free. While he does occasionally wander around bare-rooted, other Monsters know to stay clear of his undulating tendrils.*"

***Prismatic Bio:***

> "*This Potbelly returned from the Prism Gate forever changed! His leafy growth and clay pot have been altered at the molecular level to become sluglike offshoots and a glass jar - extraordinary!*"

## Description

The Potbelly is a monster in MTTF, returning from MSM1. The baby Potbelly is a small green plant with two heads that sit in a planter box, tied to a stick. As an adult, he sits in his trademark flower pot, as he does in the original game and DOF, and much like DOF, he has fangs instead of regular teeth.

### Prismatic Descriptions

For his prismatic forms, Potbelly transforms from a potted plant to a sea slug monster living on a glass jar. Each prismatic form is based on a species of sea slugs.

* The Red Prismatic Potbelly has yellow stripes going down his back and around the rings, as well as 4 horns on each mouth.
* The Orange Prismatic Potbelly has blowtorch-like, blunt spikes going down his back, as well as 2 horns on the top of each mouth. The rings are also purple. It could be based on the Jorunna parva (otherwise known as the Sea Bunny Slug)
* The Yellow Prismatic Potbelly has blue atenna, blue rings, blue hair on his stem, yellow flaps and blue streaks on the side of his belly, and two long blunt horns on each mouth. It could be based on the Tambja verconis (otherwise known as Verco's Nudibranch)
* The Green Prismatic Potbelly has orange rings, 3 small orange (one is black) twigs near the top of the main mouth, a dual small orange sail on the side of the belly, and two small horns on the top of each head. It could be based on the Nembrotha kubaryana (otherwise known as the Variable Neon Slug)
* The Blue Prismatic Potbelly has red rings, small speckles near the top of his belly, and four spots going outwards with some feathery appendages. It could be based on the Glaucus atlanticus (otherwise known as the Blue Dragon Slug)
* The Purple Prismatic Potbelly has green rings, a sail going down his back and on the side side of his belly, and two long horns on each mouth. There are also two small hairs on the bottom of each mouth that are curving. It could be based on the Hypselodoris bullockii (otherwise known as the Purple Volcano Slug)

## Song

Voice actor: Matthew J. Stewart

The Potbelly's contribution to an island's song is a two-part harmony of nasal, staccato vocals that go "bup" or "bawmp".

## Breeding

A Potbelly cannot be bred, except for when it's the result of a breeding failure. Otherwise, he can only be bought for 300 coins.

## Teleportation

Potbelly can be teleported to Outer Space Island at Level 10 for a reward of 2 diamonds, or Party Island for a reward of 2 Diamonds. Teleport time for Potbelly is 7 hours to Space Island and 5 minutes to Party Island.

## Special Occasions

Template:Main

In the winter season, the Potbelly's pot in his young form is snow covered. The stick for ensuring upright plant growth is longer, and decorated with a few leaves and a single large red Christmas bulb.  It strongly resembles the tree from "A Charlie Brown Christmas". When Potbelly becomes an adult, He's dressed up in Santa hats, a ribbon, and a gold pot and his leaves turned red.

## Notes

* The baby Potbelly is tied to a stick similarly to how some plants are tied to a stick to keep them upright while they grow. However, their bio states that the stick is there to keep them in the planter.
* For some reason, there seems to be holes in the Baby Potbelly's pot.
* The Prismatics were announced on 11th January 2020, on 19:00 UTC, scheduled to be released 24 hours later.
