#bugsnax interview

• Have time for an interview?

“Like, an actually Interview? No way! Yeah, absolutely! Fire away!”

• Who are you?

“ Uh, Margarine Fabledfungus! I’m a mycologist. Or, well, uh, mycologist-to-be. Im still working on getting my doctorate…”

• You’re a mycologist and your last name is “Fabledfungus”?

“You’re not the first to point that out.”

• Why come to Snaktooth island?

“I’m actually here for an internship program under Ms. Megafig! I wanted my senior research project to really stand out among the other grumpuses, so I figured that following her to Snaktooth Island would blow everybody else out of the water!”

• You’re Elizabert’s intern?

“Unofficially! I needed more experience out in the field, so I was helping Ms. Megafig catch Bugsnax, chart maps, that sort of stuff.”

• Thoughts on Bugsnax?

“Aw, jeez, where do I start? I have so many theories I need to test! My leading hypothesis is that Bugsnax are a hyper-advanced colony of sentient fungus. I can’t really say I enjoy eating them, though.”

• Why’s that?

“I dunno, eating a little critter like that just feels… disturbing. Like eating a hamster or something. I keep telling myself that it’s either eating Bugsnax or starving to death, but it doesn’t make it any easier.”

• You said you think Bugsnax are a kind of fungus?

“A hyper advanced kind of fungus. You should see my notes sometime! The ones that aren’t covered in sauce or icing, that is…”

• Why did you leave town?

“Probably for the same reason everybody else did! Ms. Megafig disappeared, Gramble’s barn was ransacked, there were earthquakes and fights breaking out left and right… I tried my best to help keep everybody optimistic, I really tried, but… I guess it wasn’t good enough. I felt pretty useless hanging around, so I eventually set up my camp in Sugarpine Woods to continue my research.”

• Any info on Lizbert?

“Ms. Megafig? Ain’t she the greatest? She was one of the first grumpuses I went to to snag an internship! Looking back, I think she was a bit nervous having somebody so young follow her to an uncharted island in the middle of the ocean, but I couldn’t afford to take no for answer! I would’ve gone looking for her myself awhile ago if it wasn’t for Mr. Troubleham and Mrs. Lottablog, though.”

• Wambus and Triffany stopped you?

“Yeah, the two of them have been looking out for me ever since I introduced myself! They probably figured I could’ve gotten lost out there in the wilderness just like Ms. Megafig had. It means a lot knowing that somebody cares about you, y’know?”

• Thanks, Margarine, that was a lot of help.

“Oh, my pleasure! If you ever need me, just pop by my camp! And good luck, I hope you find Ms. Megafig. I really do…”
