Little Clay

**Little Clay** is a baby digger-dumper machine and is the baby son of Muck 1 and Muck 2. Like his parents, Little Clay is coloured red.

## Appearance and personality

### Appearance

Little Clay is a digger-dumper hybrid machine with a red colour like his parents but his "caterpillar-wheels" are smooth and stubby and he has a fixed block looking like a dumper, has curved edges, a soft body, stubby arms with no blade (That's because baby digger machines don't have blades until they get older) and a silver mouth without grilles. Little Clay is much tinier than his parents.

Little Clay is commonly seen in a white special swaddle cloth.

### Personality

Little Clay is an adorable, cuddly baby digger-dumper. He makes quiet "baby rattle" noises when he jitters.

Little Clay also always leap silently from one spot to another at any time without landing halfway through. Little Clay really loves to be cuddled up by other characters including his parents. Unlike the machines older than him, Little Clay is always likely to be washed in a tub of soapy water instead of a machine wash.

Little Clay hasn't started talking properly yet but he makes very cute baby noises. Notible examples are:

* "Kuumi fappi menno paa?"
* "Menno paa!"
* "Puun!"
* "Pwuun, pwuun, pwuun!"
* "Pinnii paa!"
* "Pwuunii puun menno paa!"
* "Suubbii suubbun menno paa!"
* "Dou dou dou dou daa!"
* "Doou dattou! Doou daddi!"

## History

### Little Clay's "built" birth

Muck 2, who was pregnant, suddenly felt pain inside her when she and her lover Muck 1 were having a washdown. (Which Mucks 1 and 2 both dislike) Bob and Wendy took Muck 2 to a machine-repair center were Muck 2 herself can deliver her baby. Later, a man at the machine-repair center said that Muck 2 has given birth to a baby boy digger-dumper and told Bob and Wendy that when Muck 2 was almost finishing her last push, the baby digger-dumper got himself out by silently leaping from where he was coming out from to a box of soft blankets and adorably started saying "Menno paa!" noises and high-pitched squealing noises whilst adoribly jittering with cuteness.

Bob and Wendy then came into a large room where they see Muck 2 and her newborn baby digger-dumper. They were delighted to see the new baby digger-dumper and Bob decided to name him 'Little Clay'.

## Trivia

* A humanised version of Little Clay takes the appearance of a cute baby boy with his arms and legs hidden in a white special swaddle cloth in which he always wear as it makes him look adorable.
	+ In the 'Bob the Builder' AU, where the machines are humanised, Little Clay's birth story is much more different to his "built" birth one in the original universe: After her and Muck 1's bathtime, Pregnant Muck 2 felt pain inside her and she was taken to a hospital where she delivers her baby. Later, Little Clay came out into the world as normal (Like what human babies do) when Muck 2 gave birth to him. Then, Bob and Wendy came to see Muck 2 and the doctor who's holding Little Clay, now in a white special swaddle cloth, in his arms. Just then, Little Clay made his first silent leap... from the arms of the doctor to the arms of Muck 2. Little Clay then adoribly says "Kuumi fappi menno paa?" and Muck 2 give him a very cute cuddle.
	+ Little Clay always appear in swaddles and swaddle cloths, mostly in his white special swaddle cloth, as they make him look very adorable.
		- Humanised Little Clay is one of the humanised machines who can transform with a device. However, unlike the other humanised machines, instead Little Clay himself using it, one of his parents uses an unknown transformation device to "transform" Little Clay. When Little Clay was "transformed", he appears in a magically, soft special swaddle cloth with a soft crown. However, unlike the other humanised machines when they were tranformed, Little Clay does not battle, does not have magic abilities, and does not have a transformed-ego name, because he is too cute, but instead lets Muck 1 or Muck 2 give him and avery cute cuddle or an adorable feed.
			* The music that plays during Little Clay's transformation sequence is 'Dou Dou Baby' by A. Devera (fron Hibou-Music.com) instead of any one of the two music pieces from the same website used for the transformation sequences of the other humanised machines.
	+ In the online game Splashdown Challenge, Little Clay appears as a playable 'trick character' under the name **Baby Clay**. Unlike Dizzy, Scrambler, Scratch, Trix, Shove, Sweep, Swirls and Sky, Little Clay appears in a white special swaddle cloth and in an adorable mood instead of a swimsuit and a competitive mood. When the player plays as him in that game, Little Clay faffs about by making adorable movements in the water, such as making tiny splashes and jittering adorably, and making cute squeaks, cute squeals and cute baby noises and then, towards the very end of his cute tune, Little clay silently leaps out from the water and into the unseen arms of the 'viewer' and shows a close front-view look of his adorable face.
		- Outside the Splashdown Challenge game, during the Summertime events, Little Clay "paticipates" in swimming races and water obsticle-course races but in his white special swaddle cloth instead of a swimsuit and in an adorable mood instead of a challenging, copetitive mood. However, at the race's starting point when the race starts, instead of swimming, Little Clay faffs about by making adorable movements in the water, such as making tiny splashes and jittering adorably, and making cute squeaks, cute squeals and cute baby noises and then a couple of seconds later, he silently leaps out from the waters of race course and into the arms of one of his parents (Muck 1 and Muck 2) and says cute baby noises and adorably jitters so they can give him a very cute cuddle or an very adorable feed. This only happens in the 'Bob the Builder' humanised AU.
	+ The humanised version of Little Clay is more unique than any other human baby: When someone uses a baby-bottle to feed him either milk or baby-feed, Little Clay adorably drinks the milk or the baby-feed at an adorably, quick speed and makes quick sucking-feed noices at high-speed and he also does the same things when his mother Muck 2 breastfeeds him. His burps sound like adorable squeaks instead of an actual burp, even when someone has to give Little Clay a gentle pat on the back to make him burp after the feed. If he breaks wind, Little Clay's wind-breaks make a hissing sound and let loose a sweet scent of cuteness instead of an actual farting noise and a rotten, fowl smell. (These things also happens to the original machine version of Little Clay in the original universe.)
* Little Clay is the first known baby machine in the 'Bob the Builder' universe. He is also the first machine to have seen parents.
* In both original and humanised AU universes, when Little Clay makes his movements and squealing and baby noises of cuteness, his cute tune plays.
* There is another tune that suits Little Clay. It is 'Dou Dou Baby' by A. Devera from Hibou-Music.com. Little Clay's cute baby noises are heard during ths tune.
* Little Clay is the first machine to be mysteriously "built" in a specially alternative way. It was when Muck 2 gave birth to him.
