The grumpus with the pink fur, blue hair and purple hat is Parstel, who belongs to @hyper-fixator !

The blue gal with the ponytail is Jerejamlie, who belongs to @soulthefunnyman !

The purple gal with blonde hair is a fanart for Holly Hollowtones back in 2021! It's the only drawing that was already old, while all the others were recently made earlier this month

Both variants of these creatures can be found either in Flavor Falls or Sugarpine Woods, but rather one of them belonging to a specific area, it depends on how you find them!

Matcha Sweevils are always found underneath trees, camouflaged as simply crumpled up leaves. The moment you touch them, they'll start running, so you have to be quick to active the snaktrap before it climbs to hide inside a tree.

Meanwhile, Choco Sweevils are slightly harder to spot. If you stand long enough underneath a tree and make enough movement, you'll scare the creatures on top and they'll backflip down to try and escape towards the next tree nearby.

Both can be caught with the snakgrappler as well, all you have to do is be fast enough to catch it on time.

It’s time to fight the

Beefy Beetlepepper

"This beefy bugsnak tries to chase down and squirt sauce at any intruders. Maybe there’s a way to weight it down?”

As the name implies, this snak is the combination of a stuffed pepper and a color-changing beetle (Charidotella Egregia).

As you, Frankley and Zackarine enter the cave, constant chirping echoes through the walls. A small pepper slice runs away from you and approaches a big figure in the distance. It grumbles, and you see it gulfing down... an entire hot sauce plant?

It turns around at the small snak, and becomes aware of your presence. Just like any other snak, it does not have a mouth, but the giant hole holding nothing but sauce at the end could easily be seen as one.

It roars, a dozen of the pepper slices crashing against each other as they try to clear a path so they don’t get stomped, and the creature launches itself against you.

Frankley rushes to collect as many sauce pods as they can to provide to you, but you have to be quick to use them if you don’t want them to be thrown right back at you!

After a few moments, you notice how the giant pepper is slowly changing color. You stare, intrigued...

And your eyes open wide as the now yellow-colored snak is throwing away all your hard work with the sauce you used, along with pepper seeds.

As you shoot more sauce into its maw, you realize hot sauce is getting you nowhere: it keeps on shooting it right back at you no matter what you do. But it’s yellow exterior does remind you of a certain sauce you have in your packpack, so you reach for cheese sauce instead and... success! The snak, although it’s still trying to crush you to pieces, seems to be accepting of this alternative. 

In the meantime, the seeds on the ground start to morph and take shape into the creatures you saw skittering around.

Babeetle Peppers surround you. Although harmless, these creatures are pesky and will get on your way... Unless you find a good use for them. Perhaps the slinger can continue to be useful here? The Beefy Beetlepepper won’t accept them on their own, but you still have lots of sauce pods left to try...

Aaaand that’s the gist of it! I could go on on details about the gameplay and the area, but that’s plenty of info for now 💛

Now! You know how the end of every sidequest goes, right? Perhaps it’s time to find out how it all goes down after the boss is dealt with... 👀👀👀
