001 – Seedling
The common Seedling, characterized by the rectangular flower adorning its head, is one of the most common species in the world.
They are tenacious and have a huge appetite, which they sate by devouring farmers' crops.
They can use the flower on their heads to fly. Although it can be ripped out, it grows back within a week.
Vi: It's one of those stupid, annoying Seedlings!
Vi: They're all over the outskirts, but don't even drop good items!
Vi: Let's just beat them up already!
Kabbu: Hmm, it seems this land has Seedlings as well.
Kabbu: Despite their adorable looks, they plague many fields and have no qualms devouring crops.
Kabbu: Although weak and puny in comparison to me, their flying variation is troublesome, as I can't reach it…
Kabbu: I'll have to ask Vi for help.
Leif: What a...cute creature. It's almost a shame that we must fight it.
Leif: Our basic ice magic cannot reach it while it is flying. Guess Vi'll have to bring it down.
Leif: Hmm... Perhaps we could keep one as a pet? Vi would have lots of fun taking care of it.
002 – Acornling
To protect themselves from the many predators in the Golden Hills, these Seedlings gave up their ability to fly for a hard outer shell.
This doesn't stop Acornlings from being attacked, but their survival rates have gone up massively.
Vi: Seriously? A Seedling with a hat!?
Vi: My Beemerang can't pierce through… Kabbu's gonna have to flip it!
Kabbu: What a sturdy little creature! Its appearance truly betrays its resilience!
Kabbu: But alas... It will be no match for my horn!
Leif: Honestly... Seedlings are way cuter. And less annoying to deal with, too.
Leif: Let's team up with Kabbu and freeze it while it's flipped.
003 – Underling
Aggressive without provocation, this Seedling variant creates confusion amongst scholars.
Despite evolving in an area without predators and have abundant food, they have developed short tempers and even poisonous attacks.
Even more ironically, they've become delicious when cooked.
Researchers won't stop until they figure out why this creature evolved to make its own life more difficult.
Vi: These Seedlings BURROW? Ugh, it's gotta be karma for all those flying Seedlings. Help me out, Leif!
Kabbu: Dear Venus, must we truly deal with such stubborn and irritable creatures?
Kabbu: I could try to dig after it myself, but... We'll have to rely on Leif to unearth it instead!
Leif: Ah, this must be the Underling that the chefs tend to mention. Poisonous, but sweet.
Leif: If it digs under, we'll use magic to bring it up. Let's try to capture one...for research.
004 – Cactiling
A member of the Seedling family, these plants evolved a hard shell with spikes to protect themselves from travelers and creatures scavenging for food in the Lost Sands.
This shell also helps them retain water in their bodies for long periods of time.
They can shoot out their spikes for projectile attacks, and also use them to ram into enemies, causing piercing damage.
The spikes grow back very quickly, and sometimes travelers harvest them to make weapons and other goods.
Vi: Seriously? This is a Seedling!? I just don't get science sometimes…
Vi: It's a bit too tough for the Beemerang... Better let Kabbu handle it!
Kabbu: Incredible... I truly believed this to be a cactus. What an impressive disguise!
Kabbu: Still, if it stands in our way, I shall flip it over. Let's go, team!
Leif: Seriously? There's no way anyone would fall for such a cheap disguise. We're almost offended.
Leif: Our ice magic will put in some work, as soon as Kabbu flips it over.
005 – Flowerling
These flying Seedlings embody friendship, co-dependence, and cute things.
Completely awful at fighting, they've struck a deal with the local creatures: in exchange for support, it will be protected.
As an unexpected side effect, creatures fight each other to become its partner.
Vi: I wonder how many Seedling types there are... This one's really weak! Guess it needs others to fight its battles…
Vi: Kabbu said to focus it, but I'd rather leave it for last. Hmm…
Kabbu: Curse you, adorable yet levitating foe! Must you hover so insultingly close to my horn's range!?
Kabbu: It supports its allies in many ways... It may be worth asking Vi to eliminate it first!
Leif: What a cute little Seedling. It'd fit right in along with the rest of our team, wouldn't it?
Leif: Seems it doesn't want to join us, though... Guess we'd best knock it down gently to stop its supporting moves.
006 – Plumpling
This Seedling has adapted to the Forsaken Lands, sacrificing cuteness and speed for power and monstrous defense.
Although some say it is delicious, the truth is it's almost impossible to take a bite out of it.
Vi: ...Alright then. This ain't good. It's fat and way too sturdy! If I'm gonna hurt it I'll need some piercing skills…
Vi: I think I'll have to rely on Kabbu and Leif for this one…
Kabbu: This humongous creature sports armor soldiers would be most envious of! My horn can only barely hurt it, even when I'm at the front…
Kabbu: It may be wise to save our skills for this behemoth.
Leif: Ugh, it's hideous. And it's got some defense... We can barely hurt it even if we give it our all.
Leif: Kabbu's probably the best one for this job. Hope we don't waste too many skills...
007 – Golden Seedling
The infamous Golden Seedling shows up in tales across generations despite its rarity.
Said to bring the best of luck and wealth to those who find it, many have expended their time and savings hunting for them.
Despite its appearance, it is nimble and powerful. One must take care when going for the prize!
Vi: WOAH! A GOLDEN SEEDLING! Their Tangy Berries sell for DOZENS!
Vi: Heheheh... We're gonna be rich! ...W-What!? What's this defense!? Only my first hit's working!
Vi: We've gotta find a way to stop it from running!
Kabbu: INCREDIBLE! This is the Golden Seedling of LEGENDS! It brings fortune, health, and love if one can best it!
Kabbu: It has unholy defenses...! Not even my piercing horn is getting through!
Kabbu: I need to think of a way to prevent its escape while we whittle it down!
Leif: So this is a Golden Seedling. Such inviting colors, and cute demeanor! We'll be blessed to capture and raise one.
Leif: Hmm? It's resisting even our ice magic? So it's powerful, too…
Leif: We must make sure it doesn't escape until it is subdued!
008 – Zombiant
Zombiants are a popular folk tale, a story told to children to keep them from venturing into caves.
Disturbing reports have shown that Snakemouth Den seems to be inhabited with the real thing.
Caution is advised while thorough investigation is held.
Vi: Eep! That Ant is...possessed! No way!
Vi: That's just a story the Queen tells kids to scare them... This is too creepy!
Vi: I'm gonna take it out!
Kabbu: By Venus... That Ant walks after its passing! A "Zombiant"!
Kabbu: I truly believed they were nothing more than a myth.
Kabbu: It is my duty as a fellow explorer...to end its suffering!
Leif: Cordyceps. It seems it picked an Ant as its host. How weird, that it would attack us.
Leif: It's nothing special, our attacks should take it out quickly.
009 – Zombee
One of Snakemouth Lab's forgotten experiments.
The noble goal of creating a Bee with infinite stamina and strong wings quickly turned into a tragedy.
Vi: W-Whoa... Why're there Bees in here...!? This is awful!
Vi: Ugh! Leif...can you use your ice magic on them?
Kabbu: By Vi's translucent wings... What sort of unholy experiments have been conducted here!?
Kabbu: Leif, stay resolute! Your magic will be critical if we are to triumph!
Leif: Ngh...! This is not right. This feeling is…
Leif: F-Focus! We'll just freeze everything on the path to the truth!
010 – Zombeetle
Poor kidnapped Beetles, who suffered unexpected side effects in Snakemouth's Lab.
The goal was to create a powerful Beetle who could dig to the other side of the world. The result was a fierce, violent monster.
Vi: No way... It wasn't just Zombiants! It's like this place is cursed!
Vi: It's super tough... I'm gonna need the others' help!
Kabbu: ...What a tragedy, to see a fellow Beetle befall this fate.
Kabbu: Its carapace is absurdly tough. Leif, support me as I strike it!
Leif: Mngh... Why is this so familiar? We're feeling dizzy…
Leif: We can't faint now! We...we must support Kabbu in piercing its defense...!
011 – Jellyshroom
Data on this species is anecdotal, as it's a new organism discovered by a trio of explorers in Snakemouth Den.
It camouflages itself as a regular shroom, and it attacks nearby beings it feels threatened by.
Vi: Cripes, is that a flying Mushroom? This cave does some weird stuff to things…
Vi: I'll knock it out of the air!
Kabbu: By the Queen...! What an abomination.
Kabbu: I cannot hurt this beast while it is airborne.
Kabbu: Vi, would you lend me your strength?
Leif: Huh. Mushrooms get crazier by the day.
Leif: Although some of our skills could finish it off quickly... Vi, help save us some TP.
012 – Bloatshroom
A toxic, massive shroom lying in the hidden parts of Snakemouth.
Although blind, it can navigate by feeling vibrations in the soil and air.
When it feels threatened, it shoots powerful poison gas.
Vi: Eep! How can such a big thing jump that high!? Watch out, everyone!
Vi: It's poisonous too... Good thing I've brought my Secret Stash! Leif, let's pull out some ice moves!
Kabbu: Everyone, hold your breath! This humongous creature emits poison gas!
Kabbu: Leif, I know we ask too much of you...but focus your ice attacks on it quickly!
Leif: This hideous thing... We feel it holds some connection to the Jellyshroom.
Leif: It should be equally weak to ice. Let's be wary of its poison and counterattack!
013 – Inichas
The Inichas is a multi-legged caterpillar covered in sturdy, spiky armor.
It's in the early stages of its life, and it was supposed to become a Butterfly.
However, the strange atmosphere in Snakemouth Den altered it in weird ways: it will forever be a violent, irrational caterpillar.
Vi: What's up with this thing? It's like a spiky Pillbug!
Vi: Its armor is really strong, so I can barely hurt it.
Vi: I bet Kabbu can flip it over, though!
Kabbu: An Inichas, this spiky bug is still in its larval stage.
Kabbu: Although it has impressive armor, it stands no chance against my horn!
Leif: This...thing is really annoying. Ice feels like it should pierce the armor, but it doesn't.
Leif: Kabbu, flip this nuisance.
014 – Denmuki
These lesser caterpillars roam around the Honey Factory, attracted by the abundant electricity in the area.
They are able to store electricity in their bodies which they use to protect themselves from predators and the Bees.
While pests, they help regulate the excess energy the core releases now and then, so the Bees let them roam the factory while carefully avoiding their shocks.
Vi: Uh oh. Someone let the Denmukis out of their cage... We're gonna have to smack 'em before they zap us!
Kabbu: Denmukis! Their electrified fur can power gadgets for days! ...I hope it won't shock me. I despise being shocked.
Leif: Ouch... We got shocked trying to pet it. This critter seems to be quite charged.
Leif: We must block carefully, or we'll be getting numbed for real.
015 – Madesphy
With a face only a mother could love, the Madesphy grumpily trudges along the swamplands.
It's poisonous to eat, thorny to touch, and deafening to hear its wails.
One could say it has adapted to its habitat perfectly.
Vi: E-Eep! Kabbu, flip it over! It's so creepy! I get numb just hearing it!
Vi: As if the swamp wasn't spooky enough... Huff! Okay... I'm fine now. Let's go!
Kabbu: What a pitiful creature, born to bear the face of evil and treat others so poorly…
Kabbu: I shall lower its guard, so that we may dispatch it swiftly before its wails can stun us!
Leif: This is...the most hideous critter we've ever encountered. Its dreadful voice shocks us to the core…
Leif: We hope its high defenses protect its self-esteem as well. Kabbu, flip it over. We've got a special icicle waiting for it.
016 – Numbnail
This one-eyed snail travels slowly across the Golden region. It used to be hunted by bugkind due to the usefulness of its shell, and the good taste of its meat.
To combat this, it developed sedative laser eyes to fend off its many predators, and they've mostly been left alone in recent times.
History books use it as the reference point for commodities becoming luxuries.
Vi: Ooh, a Numbnail! I hear Numbnail sedatives go for a lot of berries on the market.
Vi: I'll try to take some for myself when Kabbu flips it out of its shell!
Kabbu: Oh, isn't this a Numbnail? I've read that it is quite the endangered species! Perhaps we should flee and leave it alone…
Kabbu: But if we are left with no other choice, I will bring it out of its shell! Take care with its sedating attacks!
Leif: What a hideous snail. It's all slimy and disgusting.
Leif: It's stubborn too, going into its shell when under our attacks.
Leif: Maybe Kabbu can draw it out? Let's make sure to not be hit by its sedatives.
017 – Ironnail
Only the toughest, fastest, and strongest of snails could manage to survive in the Forsaken Lands.
Enter the Ironnail, capable of firing sedating beams and moving at high speeds.
They've developed a hatred of non-foggy areas, sparing other parts of Bugaria from their wrath.
Vi: O-Oi! Aren't snails slow and stuff? The Forsaken Lands really are super dangerous…
Vi: We can still just fight them like they're Numbnails, though. Right, Kabbu?
Kabbu: What speed...! We cannot underestimate any creature that can survive in such a land.
Kabbu: Beware its sedatives. I shall drag it out of its shell when it retreats!
Leif: Tch. We got caught off guard by its movements. It mustn't happen again. We almost got put to sleep...!
Leif: Kabbu, drag it out of its shell. Then, we shall freeze it in its tracks!
018 – Midge
Midges are said to be distant relatives of Mosquitoes, but making that comparison is a quick way to get in a fight.
Usually found in caves, Midges hunt together and will protect each other when a member of their pack is attacked.
They can use their proboscises to suck fluids from their prey, recovering from any damage received extremely quickly.
Said proboscis also doubles as a sharp weapon, which they will not shy away from using to pierce enemies.
Vi: Ugh! I've got stings everywhere! It just keeps hitting me back!
Vi: I should try to take it out in one attack!
Kabbu: Midges... Their stings get so itchy!
Kabbu: But even so...I should draw in their group attacks so Vi can knock them all down safely!
Leif: These creatures... When we hit one, the rest gang up on us.
Leif: We should try freezing them all at once, to see what they'll do then.
019 – Chomper
These vicious plants see bugs as meals and roam the Golden region.
They're always looking for their next snack, and tourists must be wary of them.
Although small, they can quickly multiply if left alone. They must never be underestimated.
Vi: Chompers are the worst! They bite you really hard, and even heal while doing it!
Vi: And then they summon tinier, annoying Chompers! I'm gonna take it out before it can!
Kabbu: Chompers... They reproduce quickly and eat voraciously with their sharp teeth…
Kabbu: I will strike them down, before they can heal by biting us!
Leif: This thing... It's kinda funny, isn't it? Just the way it dances. The little ones it summons are even funnier.
Leif: Its bites heal it, though... We'll destroy it quickly with ice magic.
020 – Chomper Brute
This Chomper has grown large and strong due to being in great proximity to both its mother and very fertile areas.
It can spawn strong young Chompers, and its bite can pierce through rock.
Vi: Whoa! What do they FEED this thing!? We've gotta be careful!
Vi: Let's gang up on it before it makes too many Chompers!
Kabbu: An enlarged version of a Chomper... We must be near its nest, then. It must be protecting its territory.
Kabbu: We're sorry, you poor creature... But we cannot let you stop us!
Leif: Chompers are cute. When they're small. This one's lost a lot of the charm.
Leif: We'd best freeze it up before it spawns too many reinforcements.
021 – Wild Chomper
These Chompers have grown immobile so they can absorb the rich nutrients of the Far Grasslands.
They've developed the ability to shoot seeds over great distances and extend their roots to strike and snare their prey.
Otherwise, they lay with their mouths open in hopes some careless bug will fall into them.
They are also capable of producing smaller Chompers like their Golden Hills counterparts, which will soon set root and become new Wild Chompers.
Vi: Mmm... I don't have much to say. It's just an angry plant, really. Weak to ice and stuff. Nothing new.
Vi: It does heal up, so we've gotta focus it down or it'll just get back up!
Kabbu: If only this creature would stop shooting seeds at us, we could walk past without a fight!
Kabbu: Maybe if Leif manages to freeze it, we could just avoid it...?
Leif: Ain't this the living version of a Security Turret... Fortunately, this one's weak to ice.
Leif: As long as we block its vines and seeds, it shouldn't be a challenge.
022 – Weevil
Rumored to be closely related to Beetles, these predators are often found searching the Golden region for food.
They are herbivores, but will attack nearby bugs should they be disturbed.
Some claim to have tamed Weevils as loyal partners, but these claims haven't been confirmed.
Vi: E-Eep! A Weevil! I don't have the best memories of them…
Vi: L-Let's get Kabbu to take the hits, while we beat them up!
Kabbu: A Weevil! Such a ferocious beast... It attacks anything that moves!
Kabbu: I've heard they can even increase their own power... We must end this battle quickly!
Leif: Whoa, easy there... This beast doesn't look like it can be reasoned with.
Leif: It's quite fierce, too. We should discipline it before it can give us much trouble.
023 – Psicorp
The rustling sound of scattering sand warns travelers of the presence of a Psicorp.
Its claws can poison or sedate, depending on the situation.v
Prey gets sedated, and predators poisoned. Travelers, unfortunately, are subject to both.
Vi: Hmm... So this is a Psicorp. I think their poison can make some nice items!
Vi: Let's not beat it up too bad, or no one will buy it! Leif! Get it out if it goes under!
Kabbu: ...I never did like these blasted Psicorps. Leif, use your magic to unearth them!
Kabbu: We must be careful, for they may feint before striking us with poison or sedatives!
Leif: This creature...it gives us an ominous feeling. We never were a fan of sedatives.
Leif: It is otherwise unimpressive. Not even digging will spare it from our magic. Let's decimate it.
024 – Arrow Worm
The Arrow Worm is the most hated pest of the Lost Sands, annoying villagers and bandits alike.
Its sharp teeth can cut through many strong materials, leaving many homes with more windows than they need.
Explorer efforts have been made to lower their numbers, with moderate success.
Vi: That's an Arrow Worm, right? It's buried all the time, so I can't be super sure…
Vi: Oi Leif! Get it out of the ground or we're gonna have to book it out of here!
Kabbu: If I remember correctly, this local beast always stays beneath the sand waiting to devour prey.
Kabbu: Its teeth are so sharp that they can bite through stone! Leif, we will need your assistance!
Leif: Our enemy is rustling sand? ...Just kidding. It seems to be a buried sand-dwelling worm of some kind.
Leif: Our ice magic should take care of it before it can bite us!
025 – Thief
These Dragonfly thieves lurk within the Lost Sands. The buzz their wings produce while flying hinders their sneakiness, yet their Mug Tackle is 100% effective.
Voted the cutest members of the desert bandits, the other members make sure the Dragonflies eat first during times of scarcity.
Vi: A thief!? There's nothing worse in the world! The nerve to steal my hard-earned treasure!
Vi: I'm gonna knock 'em out of the air and take everything he's stolen!
Kabbu: Darn! That flying thief keeps stealing my favorite snacks! And I can't reach him at all…
Kabbu: Quick, team! We must defeat him before he uses them for himself!
Leif: Adorable. We've never seen a flying thief before. He steals food before anything else.
Leif: Maybe if we give him enough of Kabbu's snacks, he will join us?
Leif: ...Let's defeat him quickly.
026 – Bandit
These Cricket bandits spark fear amongst all caravans traveling through the harsh desert.
They are ruthless and efficient, and they have no intent to negotiate.
They change completely when amongst their brethren. They act like older siblings to the Dragonflies, and even enjoy gardening.
Vi: Eep! I-It's a bandit! I'm not gonna let him get near our bag. No way!
Vi: Maybe I'll just let Kabbu take the hits while I throw my Beemerang at 'em.
Vi: W-Wait... What if they steal my Beemerang? I hope I'm not worrying too much…
Kabbu: Hmph, a Cricket bandit. It has been a long time since we encountered each other.
Kabbu: Be ready, you rascal. My strength is far greater than you remember!
Leif: So this is a bandit. Can't say we've seen one before. Times must have gotten rough.
Leif: As long as we deal with them quickly, we have no need to worry over our possessions. Let's freeze it in its tracks.
027 – Burglar
These Ladybugs turned to crime after their exile, doing little to improve their already poor reputation.
They still dream of returning to the Ant Kingdom, despite their crimes.
It's undeniable, however, that their actions only make that dream stray further away.
Vi: Ugh... This is bad. Burglars are the worst! I can't believe how fast they can tackle, being so big…
Vi: They're tough and good at stealing too... I hate them! Let's finish this quick!
Kabbu: This burglar... Must he be like this? Have Ladybugs not been tarnished enough?
Kabbu: We can't afford to feel sorry for him, though, for he is fast and strong... We must stay firm and fight back!
Leif: Burglars... It's a shame how Bugaria seems so unsafe these days…
Leif: We won't show mercy. We'll teach them a lesson they won't forget.
028 – Ruffian
These freed prisoners are so dangerous, the Wasps left the cuffs on.
They don't care, though. They're cruel and cunning enough to wreak enough havoc using only their legs.
It will be a headache to round them up again…
Vi: Uh oh... I've seen this guy in a wanted poster! He's super dangerous!
Vi: He's flailing that chain like it's a leaf! Watch out for those kicks!
Kabbu: Hmph. So the Wasps have become so desperate as to employ even criminals…
Kabbu: His character may be poor, but his strength is considerable! Stay sharp!
Leif: My, what impressive legs. To be able to move so freely under that much weight…
Leif: Still, he's just a crook at the end of the day. We'll throw him back into his cell!
029 – Bee-Boop
The Bee-Boop sports cutting edge propulsion systems, allowing it to patrol multiple areas, even those without footing.
The weaponry was an afterthought, but it gets the job done.
Vi: The heck? Who put blasters on the Bee-Boops? I'm gonna have to knock 'em out of the sky!
Kabbu: Ngh, this machine taunts me with its advanced flight systems! But I'll show it the power of natural strength!
Leif: We thought Vi was tiny, but just look at that. When it's tumbled down, we'll shut it off for good.
030 – Security Turret
This automated protector is the legacy of the previous generation's greatest inventor.
Although a bit outdated, it performs its job efficiently by firing powerful missiles to disarm intruders.
Efforts to replace it have been made, but nobody wants to provide the budget to accomplish it.
Vi: So annoying! You'd think they'd stop firing at me, since I'm a Bee and all... Let's pummel it!
Kabbu: That poor machine... It cannot move! We must defeat it, but...couldn't we just walk away from it?
Leif: Creating machines just to battle others... Not the best use of science. Let's disassemble it.
031 – Mender
These automated mechanical helpers are both adorable and extremely capable.
Their countless unpaid hours of support ensure the factory runs well while most Bees sleep.
Sometimes they get a bit wacky, but scientists assure their existentialism is nothing more than glitches.
Vi: These things won't shut up! And they're super sturdy!
Vi: At least they don't fight back... Time to whack them!
Kabbu: This poor creature... Its wails of distress reach me to the core.
Kabbu: Maybe I should relay to let Vi and Leif deal with this…
Leif: These are way too cute. We should ask for one later. Maybe a plushie, even?
Leif: Shame there's not much to do other than beat them up...
032 – Abomihoney
Under certain conditions not yet understood, the indiscriminate mixing of large amounts of honey can give birth to this beast.
It lives only to devour before it is consumed.
Vi: Argh! The Abomihoney! They mixed too much honey! We're in big trouble!
Vi: We've got to take it down, or freeze it before it explodes!
Kabbu: Goodness gracious, this is an affront to nature! It looks highly unstable…
Kabbu: Leif, bring it out when it goes under. We must take it out with haste!
Leif: What a waste of honey... To think of all the meals this could've been.
Leif: If it pulls anything funny, we'll use our ice magic to deal with it. Let's end this.
033 – Ahoneynation
The worst case scenario, the most uncontainable disaster of poor honey mixing!
This rare sighting, capable of punching through steel, was contained by a brave group of explorers.
Vi: The factory shuts down for a few minutes, and THIS happens? Yikes... Talk about escalating quickly.
Vi: We've gotta get rid of it, but we can't ignore the Abomihoneys, either!
Kabbu: By the sweet horns of legend! This honey's gone too far! It's supported by smaller Abomihoneys, which is quite troublesome…
Kabbu: We must use our TP wisely to minimize the damage they can cause, Leif!
Leif: Now that's a dessert if we've ever seen one. With little Abomihoneys on the side.
Leif: This could get out of hand quickly... We'd best make use of our magic.
034 – Krawler
An artificial entity created to defend the Lost Sand's castle.
Designed to adapt to any temperature, their weaponry applies different effects based on the environment.
Attempts to engineer one from scratch in modern times have failed.
Vi: Is that a bug or a bot? It's mega weird. It even changes color when it's cold!
Vi: I wonder if that makes it weaker to Kabbu's hits... I think my Beemerang's always gonna work, though!
Kabbu: What a fascinating creature. It reminds me of the factory's Menderbots! It changes behavior depending on the temperature…
Kabbu: Its ice version is weak to my horn! We must make sure to take note of which attacks are causing more damage!
Leif: That crystal... Could it be like those inside us? We should bring a piece to H.B.
Leif: The temperature affects it quite a bit. We'll toy around with it...see what works. Kabbu's horn is worth a shot in the cold.
035 – Warden
These guardians were designed to hide in plain sight, attacking intruders while their guards lay low.
They adapt to the cold with ease, and won't stop chasing unwanted visitors until they leave or are buried beneath the sands.
Vi: Whoa whoa whoa! This is too much! A floating head!? With lasers!?
Vi: I'll bring it down and bury it where it belongs!
Kabbu: Oof! What a convincing disguise! We really must be on guard here…
Kabbu: My horn will be ready to strike when it is brought back into the ground!
Leif: Hmph. What a petty trick, hiding like that. But we could feel your magic since we stepped in.
Leif: Let's strike accordingly depending on the temperature, Kabbu.
036 – Haunted Cloth
Running off the energy of ancient crystals, this being reacts to noise and movement.
It seeks to incapacitate scavengers and absorb their energy as a backup energy reserve.
Vi: Get off! Get OFF me! Geez! This thing's got issues!
Vi: We can't let it get too close, so I'd best get smacking!
Kabbu: It worries me how used I am becoming to abominations such as these.
Kabbu: It is strong, but we are stronger. Let's do this!
Leif: This thing thirsts for energy. We can feel its desire for our magic.
Leif: But we're not eager to share. Time to bring it down.
037 – Leafbug Ninja
The most cunning of the Leafbugs, the ninja faction hides in plain sight while hunting prey.
Using methods modern science still cannot comprehend, they are able to clone themselves.
The clones have mass and can cause damage, yet disappear upon being hit.
There is a reward posted for any researcher who manages to replicate the technique.
Vi: Eep! Oi, don't just come out of nowhere! And stop kicking me!
Vi: Kabbu said they can clone or whatever... Doesn't matter. I'll just beat them all up!
Kabbu: I was hoping to avoid such a confrontation... Everyone! These Leafbugs are extremely skilled!
Kabbu: Not only do they hold powerful strikes, they can even multiply! We'll have to hit many of them at once!
Leif: Nice moves. Kinda wish we could double ourselves too.
Leif: We're kind of in a hurry, so it'd be best to freeze them all simultaneously.
038 – Leafbug Archer
The archer faction is the most territorial of the Leafbugs, firing a volley of arrows at any who approach them.
Sometimes they get too into their job, and accidentally fire upon their allies.
No one dares complain, lest they get shot again.
Vi: Bring it on! It's bow vs. Beemerang! A super long-range battle!
Vi: They hurt a lot but look wimpy... Maybe we should focus on them first before they call for help!
Kabbu: Ngh, what powerful arrows! They make focusing on the enemy before me much more difficult.
Kabbu: Vi, Leif, I trust you to deal with them while I clear out the rest! Watch out for reinforcements!
Leif: That bow's no joke, it's packing quite the sting. Maybe we can freeze its string.
Leif: They're definitely annoying enough that it's worth focusing them down. Let's get on it, Vi, before they call for backup.
039 – Leafbug Clubber
Possessing enough strength to topple branches, the clubber faction forms the frontline of the Leafbugs.
They are cocky and proud, constantly demanding payment for every little thing they do.
Even when denied, they're all too happy to fight and show off.
Vi: Grrr... Don't go thinking you're strong just cuz you can lift a big stick! It's all about technique!
Vi: Time to show 'em what real skills look like!
Kabbu: Hmph. The cocky energy I feel from this enemy is appalling.
Kabbu: I'll make sure to tank their hubris and give my team the chance to strike!
Leif: What are they doing with that club? Did they just taunt us?
Leif: ...
Leif: We'll see if they don't regret it after we're done with them.
040 – Mantidfly
Resembling Wasps more than Mantids, yet unrelated to both, these fast hunters surprise explorers with their intelligence.
Their appetite demands they hunt for food, pillaging anything they can.
To prevent being confused with them, Wasps have a unique salute while scouting the Far Grasslands.
Vi: T-The Wasps found us! ...Oh, what? What bug is this?
Vi: Well, whatever. It's just another enemy I've gotta smack to the ground!
Kabbu: On your guard, everyone! We are under attack by a Wasp Scout!
Kabbu: Vi, you must force it to land on the ground. I can defeat it then!
Leif: Did they really fall for this disguise? Those two…
Leif: That aside, this enemy's got quite the varied skillset. We'll have to watch out while we block.
041 – Jumping Spider
Playful and elusive, the Jumping Spider bounces around the grasslands while avoiding its many predators.
Its hobbies include grabbing things, eating bugs, and jumping. Lots of jumping. Despite its mobility, it preys on stationary targets.
Vi: Oi! Stop jumping on me! Do you think I'm a springshroom!?
Vi: And give me my stuff back! It's expensive! Grr...I'll flip you over with a Hurricane Toss!
Kabbu: How pitiful... So many legs, and yet you only jump!
Kabbu: Well, and steal. I must make sure our inventory remains safe!
Leif: Tch. We can't aim properly against this jumping nuisance. Kabbu, make sure to keep it away from our items.
Leif: Still, we're thankful this thieving pest is nothing like Snakemouth's Spider...
042 – Mimic Spider
These Spiders roam around the Forsaken Lands looking for innocent travelers to snack on.
Being able to stand upright, they can mimic the way other bugs like Ants move, even using their front legs as fake antennae.
Their sedating saliva can be a real pain in the neck.
Vi: Hiya- AAAAAAHH!!! Huff...Huff…
Vi: Heck this. You're going DOWN! As if you could put us to sleep after that scare!
Kabbu: Greetings, fellow Ant. What brings you to thi-...?! BY THE BLESSED STATUE OF THE GODDESS VENUS!!!
Kabbu: You cursed fiend! How dare you spook me so!? I shall strike you down!
Leif: This beast's quite aggressive. Its attacks seem to have numbing properties, so…
Leif: ...? Vi! Kabbu! Stop freaking out and assist us!
043 – Diving Spider
This underwater bug can take in oxygen using a special bubble. Even so, it surfaces from time to time.
It can deploy poisonous or high-pressure bubbles to protect itself while scouting.
Although attempts have been made to pop its bubble, it doesn't seem to be possible.
Vi: An air bubble? Bleh. Why would anyone wanna live underwater!?
Vi: Ugh, and that shield's bouncing everything off! I hate having to wait!
Kabbu: I've never seen anything quite like this! A bug that can breathe underwater!
Kabbu: My...my horn can't pierce its water shield!? We'll have to await our chance…
Leif: What a curious evolution. Hmm. Perhaps we could use the Bubble Shield to dive as well?
Leif: It uses its bubble to avoid attacks for a turn as well. Let's prepare to strike back.
044 – Water Strider
Despite their size, Water Striders are extremely light to the point that they can stand on water.
Their thin legs can skate through water or stretch to give them an intimidating height.
When everything else fails, they can shoot powerful pressurized water.
Vi: Whoa...! It's gliding on water! How's it not sinking!?
Vi: I can think about it later. I've gotta stop it from shooting so many water missiles!
Kabbu: Unbelievable! This creature must be extremely light to not sink under the water!
Kabbu: Yet, its attacks are quite pressurized... We must not drag this battle out!
Kabbu: Vi, keep it low to the ground!
Leif: Floating on water? Is this some sort of magic we could learn, as well...?
Leif: Its water projectiles are quite strong, but our Icefall should be a nice counterattack.
Leif: Vi, get it in range.
045 – Belostoss
This extra large bug boasts impressive size and strength due to a mix of ruthless evolution and a really good diet.
It's aggressive and territorial, grabbing anything near it and lobbing it towards others.
Towns are wary whenever one is spotted outside of their usual caves, as the collateral damage they can cause is humongous.
Vi: ...Y'all wouldn't consider just running from this one, right?
Vi: I know it's no Spider, but...-?! Whoa! It's got a giant rock! Kabbu, hurry up and hit it!
Kabbu: Holy Smoked Shrooms...! It can carry such weight with ease!
Kabbu: Yet, I can feel its balance is shaky... I will try to knock the rock out of its hands!
Leif: Whoa! That rock nearly splatted us... Haven't you heard of saying "hello"?
Leif: No response. Guess there's no point trying to negotiate, then... Time to freeze it.
046 – Mothfly
This adorable blob flies through the Forsaken Lands, searching for food.
It's weak, but surprisingly intelligent.
They say that when enough of them are nearby, something incredible could happen.
Vi: Hey... Isn't this a bit too weak to be hanging around here?
Vi: I kinda feel bad for it...but I'll smack it down anyways!
Kabbu: What a harmless creature! It's impressive that it has survived in such a dangerous area.
Kabbu: We can't afford to underestimate it, however. Vi! Lower it so that I may strike!
Leif: Aww... A cute little blob, alone in such a place?
Leif: If we had more time, we'd consider domesticating it, but... Vi, you know what to do.
047 – Mothfly Cluster
The smartest of all Mothflies, after realizing they had better chances working as a team, conglomerated into this...thing.
Sturdier and stronger, enough hits should cause them to go their separate ways.
Sometimes, they do stick together even in defeat.
Vi: W-What the heck!? I shouldn't have called them so weak…
Vi: But it's STILL just a bunch of weak Flies together, right? Just gotta keep attacking!
Kabbu: Appearances are truly deceiving. I never expected them to possess such strong bonds!
Kabbu: Vi, lower them. If we scatter them, the battle is won!
Leif: One, cute. Twenty...not cute. This got out of hand really fast.
Leif: We should be able to freeze them all at once, anyhow.
048 – Wasp Scout
Do not be fooled by this soldier's petite figure. Wasp Scouts are just as deadly and vicious as the rest of the army.
Using their prowess in flight, they honor their name by scouting ahead to ensure a smooth operation.
Vi: Whoa, he's fast! Okay... Focus, Vi! You've gotta aim super well if you're gonna win!
Vi: We can't let him call for more friends!
Kabbu: Scoundrel! I will give you a chance to retreat before Vi knocks you down... No? Then face our wrath!
Kabbu: Even if you call for reinforcements, we won't falter!
Leif: We don't need your annoying buzzing in our ears. You won't be able to call for backup while frozen!
Leif: We'll make sure to send you flying back to your King, trapped inside an ice cube!
049 – Wasp Trooper
These foot soldiers from the Wasp Kingdom follow their King's orders obsessively. Even when losing, they will go down fighting.
Wasps are trained to be soldiers when they become of age, but these are exceptional even amongst them.
Vi: What's the Wasp Kingdom's problem? Why'd they have to walk in and start causing trouble!?
Vi: Grr...I'm gonna teach him a lesson!
Kabbu: The Wasp Kingdom... What could possibly justify sending soldiers to attack Bugaria?
Kabbu: For now, I'll focus on making sure they bring us no harm!
Leif: This Wasp Trooper... We wonder if he's vile, or just following orders…
Leif: Regardless, if it's going to shake the peace, we'll freeze him in his tracks!
050 – Wasp Bomber
These physically frail Wasps contribute to the war effort by supporting other troops from the back.
Equipped with a vast array of bombs, they try to end the battle with firepower before being targeted.
Vi: Stop it! Stop chucking stuff at us! I can't even knock down those boxes…
Vi: Kabbu, if you flip it twice I can bring down the smackdown!
Kabbu: Tch. A long-range, defensive enemy. It seems tailored to make my life difficult.
Kabbu: Yet I have the best shot of breaking through its defenses… I won't let my team down!
Leif: Wonder if this is how enemies feel when we shoot ice from behind everyone. It must be this annoying.
Leif: If we manage to flip it over, we should be able to deal with it quickly.
051 – Wasp Driller
Part of the Wasp Elite, these drillers are as cunning as they are powerful.
They've mastered many battle tactics utilizing their drills, both offensive and defensive.
Should a general fall, they're the first in line to be promoted.
Vi: W-Whoa there, big guy! I almost got run through…
Vi: He gets tougher when I hit 'em. Nothing Kabbu can't handle! Err, I hope.
Kabbu: The Wasps have some truly fearsome soldiers in their ranks! Hopefully not too many others.
Kabbu: But we can do this, team. I'll break his guard as soon as it's raised!
Leif: Is this truly a soldier? He seems more skilled than his general. That drill's not for show.
Leif: He seems to go on the defensive when struck, so we'd best leave Kabbu free to deal with that.
052 – Venus’ Bud
According to Acolyte Aria, these sturdy plants are part of the Harvest Goddess, Venus.
They have amazing healing properties, and will always support the denizens of the Golden Hills when possible.
They can also shoot pollen capable of making the liveliest of bugs fall asleep.
When angered, they are able to take flight, and will shoot their pollen nonstop.
They can even heal their own wounds as long as they are rooted... Their truly divine properties require further study.
Vi: Hey, this is a Venus' Bud! I saw them in a storybook once…
Vi: I wonder if they drop any rare items? I could get rich proving they're real!
Vi: ...But maybe they'll get mad if they find out I hurt it... Bleh. Less thinking, more fighting!
Kabbu: These beings... They are similar to Goddess Venus. This hill is truly sacred ground.
Kabbu: Still, the fact they fly when I strike them...is a bit cruel. I need to get a weapon for these situations…
Leif: There's something off about this creature... We can't help but feel it's a shell…
Leif: How unsettling... While it's on the ground, we'll make sure to target it.
053 – Acolyte Aria
One of Venus' acolytes, Aria spends her time in the Golden Settlement, preaching the words of Venus herself.
She prays in order to summon vines, which she can use to attack or to propel herself for a nasty kick.
Vi: What the heck? You're telling me prayer lets Aria summon huge vines!?
Vi: Maybe I should start praying too... Meh. I'll just use my Beemerang to hit her while she's up in the air!
Kabbu: Acolyte Aria...I cannot believe how much power her faith has bestowed upon her.
Kabbu: Her vine platform is troublesome. I'll cut it down if I must!
Leif: Impressive. We thought Aria was just an obsessed preacher but…
Leif: To be able to fight this well is commendable. Still, we'll make sure to freeze the vines she summons!
054 – Mothiva
One of Bugaria's most famous idols, Mothiva also works as an explorer.
Despite the friendly appearance she gives off to the public, she is ruthless and ambitious.
Together with Zasp, she has no qualms being unethical to reach her goals.
Vi: Tch. I don't even know why I got excited to meet her. She's just another pretentious, snotty bug!
Vi: I've gotta be careful hitting her though, Zasp gets really mad!
Kabbu: Mothiva... You are respected and adored by so many! It pains me so to see your true colors…
Kabbu: Let's defeat her, and then take care of Zasp!
Leif: Well, if we didn't care for her shows before, this certainly ain't helping.
Leif: We should probably knock her out first, even if Zasp gets mad. Let's wrap this up.
055 – Zasp
One of the few Wasps to be accepted into the Ant Kingdom, Zasp hunts for treasure like many other explorers.
His allegiances and motives are completely centered around Mothiva.
When she's not around, he loosens up a bit.
Vi: Hmph. So you really want to fight, Zasp? Bet you think you'll win cuz you're all cool. And tall.
Vi: Prepare for a Beemerang to the face!
Kabbu: Zasp, we are fellow explorers... Why must we fight!?
Kabbu: As much as it pains me, I won't let you get in our way!
Leif: Fancy fighting you here, Zasp. You've already lost to us in eating, and now you'll lose in combat.
Leif: We hope you'll enjoy the bitter chill of defeat!
056 – Astotheles
The leader of the Lost Sands' bandits, Astotheles lives by an ironic code of honor.
He vanishes and appears without notice, his every mission dedicated to improve life in his hideout.
It is said he wishes to establish his own country. But with the list of his crimes only increasing, this becomes unlikelier every day.
But at the end of the day, the love and loyalty of his bandit family is enough for him.
Vi: You crook! What if I'd never found my Beemerang!? And what's with ruining my items?
Vi: I don't care if you're the boss, you're gonna go down!
Kabbu: What mastery of the blade, even with just one arm! It reminds me of Maki's strength.
Kabbu: With lightning speed he crushes our items... We must make this a quick bout!
Leif: Honor... What a joke of a request, coming from one who leads thieves.
Leif: Break our items if you want. You're going to pay for imprisoning us all the same!
057 – Dune Scorpion
This rabid beast is the nightmare of all denizens of the desert. It strikes without reason, without mercy... It only wishes to cause violence.
Its stinger holds multiple poisons, and its strength is massive.
Upon sighting, do not fight – flee!
Vi: Watch out! ...Phew. Kabbu almost got wrecked!
Vi: This thing's way angrier than a Psicorp! We've got to knock it out!
Kabbu: Oof! I barely dodged that... It's hard to speak when being assailed so violently!
Kabbu: And yet, it is my duty to draw its attacks in. Vi, Leif, let's do this together!
Leif: Impressive. Even though our ice pierces it, it barely reacts. This is bad.
Leif: We'll have to use all our strength, to make sure it goes down and stays down!
058 – Primal Weevil
The most aggressive, unruly, and powerful type of Weevil, this primal creature stands at the top of the Forsaken Land's food chain.
Anyone traveling the area is well advised to carry little food, lest they risk catching its attention.
Vi: W-Whoa! That's nothing like the Golden Settlement's Weevils! It's HUGE!
Vi: Gotta watch out for the feints, and knock it down before it calls for help!
Kabbu: This must be the area's apex predator... What an incredibly fearsome monster!
Kabbu: We must keep an eye on when to block, and stop it from calling reinforcements!
Leif: Tch. It's vicious. Hard to cast magic while keeping up with blocking.
Leif: It seems to have lackeys nearby, too... Let's freeze them up and deal with them later.
059 – Cross
Cross is a skilled but naive border guard, who always checks with his partner Poi for a second opinion.
He uses a crossbow to complement his naturally close-range attacks.
Vi: Whoa, that's a nice crossbow! Maybe I should try new weapons sometime…
Vi: Tough bite, too. We can't give him a chance to use all his attacks!
Kabbu: I'm sorry, Cross. We never meant to drag you into this…
Kabbu: Everyone, watch out for his crossbow. We must give them a worthy battle!
Leif: This one's got buff arms and fancy weapons. Deadly combo.
Leif: Termites handle the cold well. Guess it's up to us if we want to gamble on it.
060 – Poi
Poi is a disciplined border guard who follows the law to the letter. He makes sure to keep his partner Cross on track.
He uses a sword to complement his naturally long-range attacks.
Vi: This guy's bonkers... He's got a cannon on his head!
Vi: We just have to show them we're a much stronger team!
Kabbu: Our apologies, Poi. We know you're just doing your job.
Kabbu: Everyone, watch out for his sword and cannon! We must fight with honor!
Leif: Tough luck, getting sent to fight us as part of the job.
Leif: The head cannon and sword are a nasty combo... We can't let our guard down.
Leif: Termites handle the cold well. Guess it's up to us if we want to gamble on it.
061 – Spider
The ender of journeys, this vicious Spider made Snakemouth Den its hunting ground while guarding an ancient artifact.
Seemingly immortal, it haunted the cave for countless moons before being defeated by a trio of explorers.
Although it is now gone, the stories of bugs trapped in its web will haunt explorers forever.
Vi: This Spider...just gets scarier the more I look at it. But I'm not going to run away this time!
Vi: I'll knock it out of the sky whenever it climbs up its web.
Vi: Let's beat it up and get that treasure!
Kabbu: We meet again...you vicious affront to bugkind.
Kabbu: For all the suffering you've caused, I...no, WE will see to your end!
Kabbu: I'll rely on the others to knock the beast down when I can't reach it. And use my skills to protect them from damage!
Leif: This may be unbecoming of us but... After so long, we're going to get revenge.
Leif: For all the time we spent inside that cocoon...you will suffer tenfold!
Leif: As long as Vi keeps it knocked down, we will attack it without a hint of mercy!
062 – Venus’ Guardian
This fearsome beast was created by Venus for a combat trial using a sunflower as its base.
It had many abilities such as flight, seed cannons, and sheer strength.
To top it off, the Goddess herself increased its abilities during the battle.
If Venus created this beast in mere moments, there is no telling what her true powers could do with more preparation.
Vi: S-So big... That's one ugly face!
Vi: But it kinda smells like pollen. It's really distracting... Gah! Leif, just hit it already!
Kabbu: To be challenged by the Goddess... Am I really worthy?
Kabbu: ...No matter. I will cut through its defenses. For the artifact, and for Leif!
Leif: What a hideous beast... Very unlike Venus.
Leif: It's the only thing standing between us and our answers. We'll strike it down!
063 – Heavy Drone B-33
The culmination of years of research, the Heavy Drone B-33 was created with a single purpose: protect the factory's core.
Although it was heavily damaged in combat, with some repairs it'll be back better than ever, ready to serve the Bee Kingdom.
Vi: Malbee wasn't kidding on orientation day. This thing's super tough!
Vi: I'm gonna hit it tons of times, so it comes crashing down!
Kabbu: This poor robot... It's only doing its job. But we cannot back down!
Kabbu: I'll do my best to draw in its fire while Vi knocks it down!
Leif: Technology has advanced quite a bit. This is an impressive machine.
Leif: Vi can knock it down, but we must be wary of its delayed missiles. Our formation will be crucial.
064 – The Watcher
Of unknown origin, this Roach-shaped creature only knows its purpose is to guard the artifact.
Capable of speech and intelligent thought, it is all the more baffling to know it has never been alive.
Vi: Why can't we ever just grab the artifact? There's always gotta be a creepy, giant, or creepy giant monster!
Vi: We're super close to the Sapling. I'm not gonna let you stop me!
Kabbu: What a formidable sorcerer! I can't predict its moves at all. Perhaps because it is not truly alive…
Kabbu: Defeating it will be an act of mercy. And my horn shall deliver victory!
Leif: ...What sad magic. Trapped in here, feeling nothing but anger and contempt.
Leif: We'll put you to rest, forever this time!
065 – The Beast
This terrifying creature haunted the Wild Swamplands, devouring everything without mercy.
The Leafbug tribes are the only inhabitants who adapted well enough to evade it.
Kabbu brought it to its end, avenging the friends he lost while traveling to Bugaria…
Vi: Kabbu, calm down! Or you're gonna get hurt! ...Or get us hurt!
Vi: What do I do? It's super strong... Guess I'll just have to do what I do best. Beat it up!
Kabbu: GRAAAAAAAAAH! Today, you will suffer the pain of every bug you've hurt!
Kabbu: Vi, Leif...forgive my selfishness... Just this once, this is something I must do!
Leif: Kabbu! We understand your pain...but keep it together! We cannot attack this beast without a plan!
Leif: Although, truth be told...it's strong and resilient. An all out offensive may be our only chance!
066 – General Ultimax
A master of machinations and delegation, he is responsible for leading the Wasp King's missions.
While physically inept and a coward, he still commands the respect of his troops. Most likely due to fear of the Wasp King.
Also, his actual name is Fuff.
Vi: Grr! We don't have time for this! We've gotta get to the Wasp King!
Vi: For a general, this guy's really weak... I'll beat up everyone else first!
Kabbu: So you're the one who led the charge on the Ant Kingdom... I cannot forgive you!
Kabbu: He seems to rely heavily on his troops. Let's clear them out first and deliver justice!
Leif: Don't think you'll get away with bringing harm to those in our city. Big mistake.
Leif: We'll beat you up nice and slow, after we deal with your pathetic lackeys.
067 – ULTIMAX Tank
Fuff's ultimate form, harnessing the power of the Wasp Kingdom's most dangerous arsenal.
The machine was built for the Wasp royalty to use in case of emergency, but Fuff stole it after the Wasp King took over.
This baby's got so much firepower.
Vi: That's NOT FAIR! You can't just...you can't just hop on whatever that is!
Vi: What's the Beemerang gonna do against that...? G-Guys, help me out!
Kabbu: We will not be intimidated by your advanced weaponry! You cannot stop us!
Kabbu: My horn can still pierce through... For Bugaria, I'll take this thing down!
Leif: ...Alright, then. We've definitely never seen anything like this before.
Leif: Even so, you're just another hurdle in our path! Kabbu's horn should be able to pierce through!
068 – Mother Chomper
A Chomper that grew in extremely fertile soil and was exposed to just the right amount of light.
She spawns endless Chompers to bring food to her, as she cannot move her roots.
Despite that flaw, she is strong beyond belief and can devour bugs in one bite.
Vi: Eep! I almost got eaten... This thing ain't messing around!
Vi: She keeps spitting Chompers out... I think I'm gonna beat her up first!
Kabbu: Ngh, what a formidable beast! And she brings endless reinforcements, as if she wasn't strong enough…
Kabbu: It'd be best to freeze the smaller Chompers, while we focus our efforts on this monster!
Leif: What an incredible appetite this monster has... We can respect that.
Leif: Our ice magic should prove effective in stalling the smaller ones. Then, we can take her down!
069 – Broodmother
This electrically charged Mama Midge was drawn to the Golden Settlement's power plant.
Absorbing energy to her heart's content, she caused several power outages while setting up her nest.
Bee soldiers were tasked with removing her nest after her defeat, but many soldiers felt the task was a tad cruel.
Vi: Ow! Sto--...! S-Stop it! I'm tired of getting numbed!
Vi: Grr... We gotta stop the small ones from attacking so we can take care of this one!
Kabbu: Mother of horns! It...it itches. But its numbing does not let me scratch! What cruelty!
Kabbu: If we are to survive, we must block perfectly. Remember, Midges react to their comrades' pain!
Leif: This is the absolute worst thing we've had to fight. A constant barrage of numbing stings…
Leif: Let's freeze up the small ones, see if it takes some pressure off us.
070 – Zommoth
All of the Roaches' research lead to this. The ultimate immortal guardian.
What they couldn't predict was being unable to control it, as it razed the laboratory of life with its monstrous magic.
Is this what Leif could have been...?
Vi: ...Leif...I dunno what's going on, but it's gonna be okay!
Vi: This thing's nothing like you! So let's defeat it together!
Kabbu: L-Leif! Do not lose yourself! We must work together to overcome this beast!
Kabbu: Whatever memories have awoken...we too, shall face them together after this battle!
Leif: ...… I...we...can't afford to hesitate.
Leif: We'll deal with these feelings...after you've been disposed of!
071 – Seedling King
The few Seedlings who survive much longer than anyone expected them to are crowned as wise and powerful rulers.
This confidence boost actually mutates the Seedling, granting it incredible power and resilience.
Kings can create other Seedling species from Tangy Berries that grow around their "crown".
These lead shorter yet incredibly devoted lives. It's recommended to clear them all out while battling a King.
Vi: GRR! So YOU'RE the source of all those dumb Seedlings!
Vi: Oi, I'm talking to you! Stop spawning more!
Vi: ...They just keep coming. We've gotta finish this fast!
Kabbu: By the Golden Settlement's Clear Water... Seedlings can mature into such behemoths!?
Kabbu: It's constantly spawning reinforcements, stopping me from reaching it.
Kabbu: I'll do my best to clear those small ones, while my team attacks from a distance!
Leif: Oh dear. A King-sized Seedling. Hey, Vi. Can we keep i-...?! What? No?!
Leif: But it keeps spawning mini-Seedlings! It's a cuteness factory! ...Sigh, alright.
Leif: Let's try to keep the small ones at bay while we defeat this one.
072 – Tidal Wyrm
Stream Mountain's depths conceal a vast water network.
However, there is something else hidden beneath the currents... An aggressive beast that devours explorers whole!
It takes advantage of the watery terrain, forcing bugs to fight it in flooded spaces.
Team Snakemouth managed to defeat it during the low tide season.
Thanks to them, no more dreams will get sunk while exploring this mountain.
Vi: B-Back off! I'm not your afternoon snack! Get ready to get sunk!
Vi: That tail's super buff, but it really does a number if we knock it down!
Kabbu: We're fortunate the tide is low. Otherwise, we couldn't reach this beast!
Kabbu: Its tail is worth weakening, but I'll need Vi and Leif to assist me!
Leif: There's too much water... We can't freeze it all. We'll have to deal with this the old-fashioned way.
Leif: Its tail is constantly barraging us... We must make the time to incapacitate it.
073 – Peacock Spider
Sailors speak of an island in the far reaches of Metal Lake.
An addicting beat drives them to explore its uncharted shores.
By then, it's already too late, as the Peacock Spider's song has drawn them to their doom…
Team Snakemouth finally confirmed this folk tale as reality, after their report on the beast's unique abilities.
It seems to have been able to summon reinforcements to empower with its dancing.
A tough battle, scholars imagine.
Vi: Cha-ka-cha-ka-cha-ka… Bleh! Stop doing that! It's getting annoying!
Vi: And the shaking keeps making the others strong... We've gotta focus this guy down!
Kabbu: What mesmerizing sound... It drives me to shake my hips! Alas, we must not be distracted.
Kabbu: It has constant reinforcements that it powers up... Our priority should be this Spider!
Leif: Why is everyone dancing? ...We don't get it. Whatever.
Leif: It's clear this Spider is the boss. Let's cut the show short.
074 – Devourer
In the early days of the Golden Settlement, windmills were being set absolutely everywhere to test energy production limits.
A team of scientists began building a few east of the town, not noticing the flytraps growing underneath them…
By the time they realized it, it was too late. A gigantic Devourer attacked, accompanied by vicious flytraps.
Although most managed to escape, the Devourer had yet to pay for those it swallowed whole.
In an expedition, Team Snakemouth finally delivered justice.
Vi: Eep! That thing's huge! And poisonous! ...And HUNGRY! And it's got friends!
Vi: This sucks! We've gotta beat it before we all get eaten!
Kabbu: Ngh...You monster...how dare you devour other bugs!? I'll cut you and your lackeys' stems down!
Kabbu: Vi, Leif...if someone gets swallowed, fight from within! We shall not flee until you escape!
Leif: To think a plant and its minions could harbor such malice... This fight doesn't favor us.
Leif: It may aim to swallow us. Vi, Kabbu, don't even think about fleeing before we break free.
075 – False Monarch
Comprised entirely of the most intelligent Mothflies banding together, this creepy being stands as ruler of a land everyone's already deserted.
When defeated, the Mothflies disbanded, leaving the city truly abandoned once more.
Regrettably, there was not enough time to conduct an investigation on the Mothflies' speech patterns and social hierarchy.
Vi: Y-You can't scare me! You're just a bunch of Mothflies under a coat!
Vi: It's charging up! Leif, we've gotta block it!
Kabbu: Your collective's days of luring weary travelers to this town end right now!
Kabbu: Stay sharp, Leif. We may need your defensive skills!
Leif: It seems these critters are under a royal delusion. Enough to grow quite powerful.
Leif: We must save some TP if we're to endure its strongest moves.
076 – Cenn
Born in the Golden Settlement, Cenn always found his peaceful town to be a big bore.
After moons of pranking the villagers, he moved to the Ant Kingdom and met Pisci.
His dreams of forming a rascal team were shut down by Maki, and he resorted to petty vandalism.
Hopefully some time behind bars will help him rehabilitate…
Vi: What, you get called out and you come at us with a stick!?
Vi: Like that'd work on something like a Spider... Just give up already!
Kabbu: Maki's judgment was correct. You're not ready to be an explorer!
Kabbu: It's not only to gain riches, but to help others! Now, let's count up your sins!
Leif: What a clumsy weapon. It's clear this one hasn't fought any real battles.
Leif: That doesn't mean he's not stubborn, though. We'll have to put him in his place.
077 – Pisci
Pisci always felt out of place in the orderly Ant Kingdom. After meeting Cenn, she truly blossomed into a troublemaker.
Her new lifestyle was cut short when Maki rejected their team, and Team Snakemouth caught them harassing Amber.
Maybe after her sentence is up, she'll go back to a quiet life.
Vi: Oi, you can't solve your problems throwing rocks at us!
Vi: ...I didn't say that so you'd build a wall! ...Whatever, the Beemerang goes around it…
Kabbu: You're making this more difficult than it needs to be. The first step to being forgiven is apologizing!
Kabbu: O-Oof, that rock got me in the horn... That's it! I'm crushing you and your rocks!
Leif: Your inexperience shines through. You're really dealing with this whole thing the wrong way.
Leif: Doesn't seem like you're willing to listen... Our ice will sneak past your defenses.
078 – Monsieur Scarlet
A vile, flirty criminal who escaped the public eye for many moons.
He would post pleas for help in quest boards, and then drain the life from explorers who would come to help.
Thanks to Team Celia and Team Snakemouth, his face has become known. He has since gone missing to escape pursuit.
Vi: We've got that jerk right where we want him! But yikes... That umbrella hurts a lot!
Vi: And it heals him too! It's super annoying... We'll have to go all out!
Kabbu: Scarlet! How dare you hurt our comrades, and attack so many others!
Kabbu: Using your looks to allure innocent explorers, draining their lives with your attacks...! We will bring you to justice, fiend!
Leif: Tch. What a despicable criminal. We could respect his skill, if not for our distaste of him.
Leif: We must attack at full strength to offset his cumbersome healing!
079 – Kabbu
An unfortunate battle caused by very alluring pheromones.
Kabbu would prefer it never be spoken of again.
Vi: You're in big trouble, Kabbu! I'm super mad!
Vi: ...B-But I don't wanna hurt you! I need to think of another way!
Kabbu: ...I can't believe I did that…
Leif: Tch. Chemistry be darned. Kali! This trick is beyond despicable!
Leif: Kabbu's...our friend. We must seek an alternative to this.
080 – Kali
A talented seamstress who owns a shop in Defiant Root, Kali came from a foreign land to Bugaria to sell her homemade wares.
They are very popular amongst tourists that pass through the settlement.
She is also well known for her exotic dancing, something she learned in her homeland.
This dance is able to boost people's morales no matter what, making her a dazzling partner who supports her allies with various boosts.
She tends to panic and surrender when she's targeted, though. She can't risk damaging her hands!
Vi: I'm sorry about the vase, but you're going too far! Give Kabbu back!
Vi: Maybe if I knock her around a bit, she'll stop dancing and start listening!
Kabbu: I'd rather not say much about her…
Leif: Vi's put us in a real jam. Kali's more formidable than we ever expected.
Leif: Doesn't help she's boosting poor Kabbu. We should put an end to that.
081 – Carmina
A master of all games, Carmina loves playing for keeps, building wealth and outsmarting her opponents.
Taunts and rule-sharking are all fair game, although she'd never cheat.
On Metal Island, she had a hostile encounter with Team Snakemouth after they barged into her room uninvited.
Vi: L-Look, we didn't know your room was here! We're sorry!
Vi: ...All of her attacks are kinda random, so I don't know what to expect. Hope we get lucky!
Kabbu: Surely there is a better solution to this? We...we could clean your room for a week? ...No?
Kabbu: Hnngh... Everyone, stay alert. We have no idea how fortune will affect her attacks!
Leif: Who DOESN'T get insurance nowadays? Guess being rich doesn't make you smart.
Leif: Ah, crud. She heard us. Let's see where that roulette lands...
082 – Riz
This crafty Damselfly has managed to make a living in the Far Grasslands.
He uses a robust system of traps and tracking to stay safe while sleeping and collecting food.
Thankfully, he seems to be fluent in Bugnish.
Vi: Oi! For once, we don't wanna fight! Just stop hitting us! Grr…
Vi: Those bombs can rack up damage fast. We'll have to plan around them!
Kabbu: Please, you must reconsider! ...Why does everything in Bugaria get solved with violence!?
Kabbu: Don't underestimate him, team. Surviving in these lands is no easy task!
Leif: For someone with the smarts to craft those bombs, aren't you being unreasonable?
Leif: ...He got mad. Maybe we spoke a bit too much this time...
083 – Maki
The Queen's Blade, Maki, is both Elizant II's most trusted knight and the leader of the highest-ranked exploration team.
He is the only one with the authority to certify new explorers, such as Team Snakemouth.
Although he tends to operate alone, he has grown to respect Team Snakemouth after their journey to the Wasp Kingdom.
His new favorite food is the MiteBurger.
Vi: Alright! It's time to show you how much we've grown since the test!
Vi: Guys, when we hit Maki...Kina gets like, super mad. Who should we target first...?
Kabbu: Sir Maki...thank you for everything you've done for us. Even this sparring match. We will rise to your challenge!
Kabbu: Kina reacts poorly to her brother being hurt, and Yin keeps supporting him... Tough decisions await us!
Leif: We do respect you, but we weren't around to witness the birth of this rivalry. Still, we won't turn down an excuse to flex our magic.
Leif: Both Kina and Yin support Maki in their own ways. We must choose our target carefully.
084 – Kina
Extremely protective of her brother Maki, Kina forms the second half of Bugaria's best exploration team.
She is extremely capable and holds great strength. She is quite selfish, however. One would be hard-pressed to find her helping others without Maki or the Queen's orders.
She used to hold a great dislike for Yin, who she considered to be stealing Maki's attention.
Her favorite drink is the Aphid Shake.
Vi: W-Whoa, I thought Kina was just getting carried by Maki all this time! She's super fast!
Vi: It's gonna take some practice, but if we're gonna take this beating then we've gotta Super Block!
Kabbu: The bonds between Maki and Kina are true indeed. They fight perfectly coordinated!
Kabbu: There's too much pressure... We must Super Block if we are to endure this battle!
Leif: Yikes. Why was Maki even worried about you? Your skills are something else…
Leif: It'll take time to knock out one of them. We'll have to make our best effort to Super Block until then.
085 – Yin
An unusual caterpillar who wasn't able to pupate.
With Maki, Kina, and Team Snakemouth's help, she reached her true form.
The sole known user of healing magic, the good she could bring to Bugaria is endless.
Regardless, she's still a bit childish. It will be up to Maki to raise her into an upstanding citizen.
Her favorite food is the Sweet Shroom.
Vi: How's she so strong!? She's like, just barely an adult! N-Not stronger than me, though.
Vi: She's got a lot of annoying magic and items! Sorry Maki, but she's gonna go down!
Kabbu: So this is the true power of Maki's team! ...No, with Yin's magic, they've grown even stronger!
Kabbu: Yin's supportive abilities make her a priority. Even if her defeat may upset Maki greatly!
Leif: Poor thing. Barely out of the cocoon, and already fighting the best of the best.
Leif: ...We say that, but she's no pushover. Even if Maki gets mad, we must defeat her too.
086 – Stratos
Team Slacker's brawn. His giant stature betrays his kind disposition.
His weapon isn't actually special - his proficiency with the blade makes the wood cut like steel.
His favorite food is Plumpling Pie.
Vi: Heheh. Leave it to me, guys! I'll buzz around hi-WOAH!
Vi: H-He's so fast, what the heck!? That's not fair when he's so bulky!
Kabbu: Do not be fooled by his calm disposition, my friends. I can sense in Stratos the heart of a warrior!
Kabbu: If we can't decipher his swordplay soon, we won't be able to block effectively!
Leif: ...We underestimated them. What a shame that they didn't use this power to help us stop the Wasp King.
Leif: Stratos can fire shockwaves from sheer strength...it's not even magic. What a guy.
087 – Delilah
Team Slacker's wit. She's turned selling information into a profitable venture.
She's gathered many poisons while exploring, which she can use to incapacitate more powerful enemies.
Her favorite drink is Doppel's Berry Juice.
Vi: A bazooka!? Did you get that from Shades!? It's full of bombs!
Vi: Woah, that's a sticky bomb! We can't use items if that hits, they cost a fortune!
Kabbu: Miss Delilah is suddenly so menacing...! And that's without her impressive weapon. It can seal away our items!
Kabbu: Those bombs carry most cumbersome effects. We must make sure to stay healthy!
Leif: Items, bombs and speed... Delilah is more resourceful than we anticipated.
Leif: Losing access to our items would be awful. We should probably incapacitate her first.
088 – Dead Lander alpha
One of the incomprehensible beasts that lay beyond Bugaria's safe haven.
It is too risky to engage, even with a full exploration team. Flee on sight.
More information would be too risky to gather.
Vi: What the heck is that? Is that even a bug!? Dead Landers creep me out…
Vi: It's got all sorta poisons, and it can dig! Leif, be ready to bring it out!
Kabbu: Ngh, the real monsters don't compare to the northern tales. What firepower…
Kabbu: Focus on blocking its poison, team. Leif, unearth it when it burrows!
Leif: What a terrifying organism... We can't get a read on it at all. And it's got quite potent poisons, too.
Leif: When we pressure it, it burrows to hide. It won't expect our ice magic underground!
089 – Dead Lander beta
One of the incomprehensible beasts that lay beyond Bugaria's safe haven.
It is too risky to engage, even with a full exploration team. Flee on sight.
More information would be too risky to gather.
Vi: Yeugh! What is this slimy stuff it's spitting!? GROSS!
Vi: No matter how much I hit it, it's not coming down...guess it's up to me!
Kabbu: This disgusting, poison vomiting creature is simply out of my reach…
Kabbu: Vi, Leif, I have never needed you more than I do now!
Leif: Ugh. Just ugh. This disgusting liquid...! How dare you drench us in it!?
Leif: It cannot be knocked down from the air... We'll have to use our TP wisely.
090 – Dead Lander gamma
One of the incomprehensible beasts that lay beyond Bugaria's safe haven.
It is too risky to engage, even with a full exploration team. Flee on sight.
More information would be too risky to gather.
Vi: I dunno what's scarier, this or the thing that dropped it... M-Maybe we should flee?
Vi: That claw's super scary, but the spores are trouble too! We gotta be careful!
Kabbu: What cursed creature could carry these monsters with ease!? We may even need to consider retreating...!
Kabbu: We must block those spore missiles, but that claw cannot be ignored, either!
Leif: By Elizant... Does the thing that dropped this creature see our struggle as a game!? Running may be a good idea…
Leif: Tch. This thing's got powerful melee and ranged attacks. We'll have to give it our all.
091 – Wasp King
Hoaxe was abandoned by his parents in the middle of the Dead Lands, before he spoke his first words.
Only through a miracle did he survive to reach Bugaria, where he managed to blend into the Wasp Kingdom's populace.
He had no friends, and no respect. All he had was his job: cleaning up trash.
One day, he vanished from the Wasp Kingdom. Nobody cared.
When he returned, unrecognized by all who ostracized him, he commanded such power and charisma…
They had no choice but to serve him.
Vi: You're gonna pay for that invasion! Your plans are super over!
Vi: The fire still hurts a bit, but we can take it now! Time to show him what Team Snakemouth's made of!
Kabbu: Vile usurper, who has led the Wasp Kingdom to ruin... Today, bugkind will be freed from your villainy.
Kabbu: We must not waste this opportunity the Flame Brooch has given us! Give it your all, everyone!
Leif: Sweet payback. We've been waiting for a good few missions to bring karma upon you.
Leif: Everyone, even though the Flame Brooch protects us, don't get careless. We can't afford to lose!
092 – The Everlasting King
Although the Everlasting Sapling seemed wilted, it still possessed enough power to morph Hoaxe into an incredibly powerful form.
Commanding the power of the artifacts, the flames, and the Sapling, there was no logical way for Team Snakemouth to win.
What was the reason, then, for Hoaxe's power to eventually run out...?
Sadly, as the Everlasting Sapling is no more, research cannot be conducted.
Vi: You dumb jerk! You've caused my friends too much trouble! We're gonna save everyone!
Vi: I'll get the flying artifacts down... I trust you guys with your parts!
Kabbu: Everyone...we have never faced power like this. It's overwhelming, but we stand together!
Kabbu: Let us destroy the artifacts as he summons them. We must press on until the end!
Leif: This is it, huh. Vi, Kabbu...thanks for all the good times.
Leif: We can feel the artifacts... Let's destroy them as soon as they appear. We can't stop now!
