A long time ago she discovered ancient ruins in Grumpsylvania, and for a while she was a respected explorer. But she squandered all of that good will with a string of hoaxes and empty vaults. I'm sure she's itching to repair that reputation, but this bugsnax thing isn't doing her any favors. Still, she's got a dangerous amount of charisma that makes folks want to listen to her.
An overeager dork who seems to be the self styled "mayor" of Snaxburg. Filbo's blundered his way through life, and he's never kept a job longer than a week. What he lacks in self-confidence he makes up for in tireless optimism. he's known Lizbert since his school days, and I bet you he'd do anything she told him to.
A relentless muckraker who used to work for our rival GMZ. She's always on the top of juicy scandals, but her information-gathering methods are... Technically crimes. Last I heard, she blew the whistle on her own boss, brought down half the company with him. She paid for it too, and now she's got no friends and a lifetime of trust issues.
A stubborn old farmer, plain and simple: the type who's spent his whole life within a mile of where he was born. After years of droughts, crop infections, and plain old bad luck, he was forced to sell the Troubleham family farm. Hes been relying on his wife Triffany ever since, but he's determined to start another doomed plot.
A lifting enthusiast with a selfless streak. He spends his days working out, playing basketball, and volunteering to build homeless shelters. He's been caught up in Snorpy's orbit since childhood, and may be the only thing keeping him at all grounded. Honestly, I don't have anything bad to say about this guy.
A sketchy salesman with an axe to grind. Cromdo lost what little he had in a messy divorce, and took up the life of a traveling goop seller. He presents himself like a model citizen, but he's got a long record of fraud, forgery, petty theft, and even petty-er vandalism. Honestly, he belongs on Lizbert's crew.
A timid doctor from the sticks, I'd say she lived a pretty uneventful life until she started dating Elizabert. She's gotten dragged along on Liz's adventures, and takes care of her constant injuries. Eggabell shies away from the spotlight, but she's never that far from it, and I can tell she's tougher than she looks.
A real genius of biology with a flexible set of ethics, and Snorpy's estranged sibling. They used to work for the government before their lax approach to lab safety caused one too many incidents. "Can't argue with the results though" as they would insist to the press. Sounds like they've taken a big interest in researching Bugsnax.
A sensitive little pet-lover who really needs a hug. His parents disappeared when he was a kid, and he wound up raising himself. Gramble holds the world's largest grumpy baby doll collection. He recently got fired from a pet store after refusing to sell even one of them. I'm sure he'll have a real healthy relationship with bugsnax.
A crusty hippie type, she runs a small crystal shop and teaches yoga in the park. She's a devout follower of Mother Naturae, and spouts all kinds mystical nonsense to whoever's listening. Despite being nearly 70, her records only go back a few years. It's safe to say that "Shelda" is an assumed name, but what she's hiding I can only guess.
A quirky inventor turned paranoid recluse. His conspiratorial tendencies got the better of him after his big radio project for the government got canned without warning. Now he's gone off the grid and dedicated his life to fighting some secret organization. He's in love with his best friend Chandlo, a secret he's so bad at keeping that even I know about it.
A passionate archeologist with a doctorate from NGU. Her coworkers describe her as "smotheringly cheerful". Her career's been in a rut ever since she settled down with Wambus. Her grandma Bronica was a well-known explorer, and it looks like Triffany's out to make all her same mistakes. Rest in peace, Bronica.
A washed-up pop star who's desperate for the limelight. She hit it big with "Do The Wiggle", but three albums later and she still hasn't had another success. She had to cancel her last tour because ticket sales were so low. If you ask me, her trip to Snaktooth is just a stunt to make her newsworthy again.
(Editor's Note!) Clumby Clumbernut:
That's me, your editor-in-chief of the Grumpus News Network, and your esteemed boss. I used to be a reporter-type and got promoted into a job I hate. Now I'm stuck cleaning up PR disasters from amateurs like you. Obviously I'm not going to Snaktooth island, because I have common sense.
