**"***Nugget's nuggets are as squishy as they are tasty.***"**
— **Nugget**

Nugget's appearance in Kindergarten.

**Nugget** is a main character. He does not directly interact too much with Cindy, but has knowledge of her boyfriend-obsessed personality and accepts Cindy's Flower as an offering of friendship from the protagonist. Nugget also has the corpse of Cindy's dog in his hideout, the Nugget Cave, and is aware that the janitor killed it.

## Relationships

### Buggs

Nugget and Buggs have an antagonistic relationship, and every day at lunchtime, Buggs throws slop at Nugget's head. Nugget attempts to get the protagonist to kill Buggs in his route and the teacher's route. Interestingly enough, in Buggs's route, Nugget unknowingly helps him by giving the Principal's Device to the protagonist.

### Lily

Nugget is in love with Lily and tries to write her a love letter during his route, though it ends up being unsuccessful, and everyone is disturbed by it. Lily does not trust Nugget that much. During his route, Lily ends up as an unfortunate victim of the situation during the quest to get the Five Nuggets of Friendship. Lily becomes mortified and makes you go away.

### Ms. Applegate

They have an antagonistic relationship as well. The teacher frequently insults Nugget by calling him a social outcast, and if the protagonist shows a Chicken Nugget during Show and Tell, she says being Nugget's friend can be challenging. Nugget knows that the teacher is out to get him and keeps his distance as such.

### Protagonist

Their relationship varies depending on the choices made. The protagonist can either gain Nugget's trust, only to betray him in the end and cause him to die in the teacher's route, become his friend by finding all the "Nuggets of Friendship" (Chicken Nuggets) and obtain his Quest Item (Billy's Note) in his route, or just ignore him/fail to become his friend.

### The Principal

> It...fixes him. I don't know what's wrong with him to begin with, but they seem to make him better.—The Principal, referring to the pills he gives Nugget.
>
>

Nugget was originally the target for The Principal's experiment, but since Billy saw one of the creatures' bodies, Nugget was spared and Billy ended up being the test subject. Nugget is devastated by Billy's disappearance, so the the principal gives him pills that cause him to forget details about his disappearance. Nugget also has the Principal's Device, which is given to students that the principal believes could be hazardous to his evil plans. The principal and Nugget never directly interact in the game, but it's assumed they have an antagonistic relationship, since the principal caused Nugget's best friend to disappear.

### Billy

Billy was best friends with Nugget. Nugget was devastated by his disappearance. The principal gave him pills, causing Nugget to forget many details about Billy's disappearance. Billy gave Nugget a note right before he disappeared.

## Interactions And Story

### Before School

If you talk to Nugget, he will tell you that he has no friends and asks to be your friend.

* If you say that you will be his friend, he will ask for an offering. Saying "I only have friendship." or offering the flower from Cindy's route results in him giving you a Nugget of Friendship.

* If you ask him what happened to Billy, he will try to avoid the subject. If you press him more, you will be sent to the principal's office by Nugget, which will result in you obtaining a Bottle of Pills.

Nugget will ask you to find him a Magnifying Glass if you talk to him when not on his route. This can be done by obtaining a Bottle of Pills prior to this in the principal's office, giving the Yo-Yo to Jerome, or getting a Single Pill from Nugget. If you do so, he gives you the King Tower Beetle.

### Lunchtime

Nugget will say that no one eats lunch with him since he has no friends, and the only option is to walk away from him.

If you are on Nugget's quest line, he will provide an opportunity to poison Buggs and earn another Nugget of Friendship.
### Recess

Nugget urges the protagonist to jump into the Nugget Cave to explore its secrets, which results in the protagonist dying if they agree.

If Lily commits suicide by jumping into the Nugget Cave, Ms. Applegate will try accusing Nugget of killing Lily, causing Nugget to declare that the teacher will not take him alive and subsequently die by jumping down the same cave.

### Show And Tell

* If you show a Chicken Nugget, Nugget will mention it's a nugget that signifies their friendship. Ms. Applegate will warn you that being friends with Nugget can be "challenging."
* If you show a Poisoned Chicken Nugget, Nugget will try to convince the teacher to eat it. Ms. Applegate refuses the offer.
* If you show Nugget's Love Letter, Nugget will become upset, saying that's only meant for "The Pretty Lily". Nugget kills you by screaming "Nugget knows where Billy is!" This causes the Principal's Device that Nugget gave you to explode.

## Mission

### Recess

3. Talk to Nugget. He will fill the Nugget Cave with nuggets, which will allow you to enter the Nugget Cave.
4. Place Cindy's Flower on Billy memorial (top-left corner). If the bell rings, you'll be deported from the Nugget Cave and continue towards Show and Tell. If you still have an apple left, you can get rid of it.

### Show And Tell

Now, you can show the class one of the nuggets that Nugget gave you.

### End Of The Day

Nugget will pull you aside and give you Billy's Note. This is one of the Items need to complete Lily's mission.

## In Other Missions

### Cindy

Nugget plays a small, yet comedic role in Cindy’s mission. After Lily commits suicide by jumping into the Nugget Cave, Ms. Applegate will blame Nugget for her death, causing him to jump after her, denying the teacher the opportunity to push him in herself.

### Ms. Applegate

Nugget is the last to be eliminated in Ms. Applegate’s mission. The player has to gain his trust during morning time if he eats a Poisoned Chicken Nugget, starting the quests for the five Nuggets of Friendship.

During lunchtime, Nugget will ask the player to poison Buggs in order to receive an Antidote in return.

Finally, at recess, Nugget will let the player down the Nugget Cave, where you can find the remains of Cindy’s dead dog. Bringing the Dog Corpse back to the surface and showingMs. Applegate will result in her "accidentally" pushing Nugget down the cave.

Alternatively, if the player shows the corpse during Show and Tell, Ms. Applegate will blame Nugget for Biscuit’s death and send him to the principal’s office, who will then say he was wrong to trust his new friend and will swear vengeance.

### Lily

In order to progress in Lily’s mission, the player has to pressure Nugget into talking about Billy, which will send the player to the principal’s office.

## Memorable Quotes

* "NUGGET SAID NO!"
* "He...Nugget...Nugget can't do this anymore..."
* "Hi, my friends call me Nugget...Or they would if I had any. Nugget knows no love or friendship since Billy went missing."
* "Here, have Nugget's nugget! This signifies your friendship with Nugget! Ingesting this will also ingest our friendship."
* "NUGGET NOTICED!"
* ”Nugget’s nuggets are as squishy as they are tasty.”
* "Teacher will never take Nugget alive!"
* ”No one has ever not loved the Nugget Cave!”

### Nugget's Love Letter

* "Nugget likes the pretty Lily. He also misses her brother Billy. Nugget likes the Lily's hair. Nugget likes to smell her chair."
* Other things are written, but they are unknown, as Ms. Applegate stops reading when Nugget begs her to stop

## Deaths

* After Lily jumps into the Nugget Cave to commit sucide, Ms. Applegate thinks Nugget did it. He says he won’t be taken alive, and then he jumps in the Nugget Cave, killing himself. (Note: This only happens if the Protagonist pours blood on Lily’s face.)
* If you show Ms. Applegate Cindy’s dog at recess after Cindy has died/disappeared, Ms. Applegate will blame Nugget and then he will get pushed in the Nugget Cave by her.
* If you show Cindy’s dog at Show and Tell after Cindy has died/disappeared, Nugget will get sent to principal's office, probably being killed by The Principal (Kindergarten).
* While this may not be a death, The Protagonist can stab Nugget instead of Buggs during the lunchtime event in “Nugget’s Quest”.

## Kindergarten 2

If you don’t free Nugget from the sewer grates, he will be missing an arm. Doing Cain's Not Able will allow you to give him an arm again.

Nugget reappears in the second game, with his own mission: If you can Dodge a Nugget.

He also makes an appearance in “Cain's not able” as a major character for digging the hole(which is also his nugget cave in rest of the missions), and as a minor character in “Breaking Sad” and “Opposites Attract”

He is found behind a grate at the start of the day, trapped in the collapsed “Failed Nugget cave”. He will appear in Morning Time with his arm bleeding if you didn’t send Bob to rescue him with Bob’s Toolbelt, from “A tale of Two Janitors.”

Nugget will die if, in “If you can Dodge a Nugget”, you go to the microwave, heat up the nuggets, enter the cafeteria, and leave again. When you re-enter, he will be dying. You can dump the nuggets on him, or if you get Tenders from Agnes, you can give him the cat. Killing Nugget will give you his outfit.

Nugget appears as a minor character in "Creature Feature", standing around in the Nugget Cave, letting you in/out.

## Deaths (Second Game)

* If he stays banging his head on the wall for too long and during recess, he will die. Burying him with nuggets will earn you his outfit.
* In Creature Feature, if you fail to make the gigantic monster to look up, he will fall in the goo.

## Talisman Run

If the player collects all 50 Monstermon cards and presses the button next to the bookshelf in their bedroom, the bookshelf lifts up to reveal a cave entrance with Nugget standing in it wearing red robes. He tells the protagonist to don similar robes and enter the cave.

Inside the cave is a pentagram. The 50 Monstermon cards fly in to gather around the circle and Nugget snaps his fingers, telling the protagonist that "It is done". Nugget then goes to school with the protagonist and proceeds to turn half of the school into dust, and calls down lightning to strike the rest.

After some dialogue, the protagonist leaves and Nugget breaks the Fourth Wall, thanking the player themself for joining him in Kindergarten 2. He then states he has a Nugget Cave to dig and walks off the screen to the disabled ramp and the usual day complete screen is displayed.
