ok so were you ever like 'huh i wonder how many morphs are stuff are in bugstuck and what buggy trolls who arnt the main six generally look like also wouldnt it be funny if there was like, a whole lot of dedication put into this, like seriously way too much effort' well STOP your QUESTIONS because i drew like 36 trolls and gave them all godtiers. they're broken into groups of a dozen (wrigglers, 13 year olds, and older teens) to help me with assigning them all classpects for fun. classpecting and related powers would be for an sburb au which isnt really relevant to their actual lives, but was cute and fun for me to think about. also, there's a couple extra siblings and seadwellers cus it felt weird to mention of trolls that didnt appear in my lore drops. also yellowbloods arnt unusually smaller i just screwed up my math and made 2 more 13 year old yellowbloods then i should so i kicked two of them into the older teen group, and as a result the lime and red milipede got kicked back. surely i will forever regret it. also you might say 'hey dont a lot of these trolls, even the ones who are 13 look pretty small compared how you did the cannon 12 cast' yeah. whoops. XD thats on me ill be real. wasnt supposed to do that i was just drawing and it happened. now marvel at the variation and distinctness in these characters designs idk

In the bugstuck universe, an all-ocean seadweller vacation planet happened to get a mother grub. Due to the limited genetic pool, viable eggs with extinct, hidden traits carried by seadwellers hatched. they intially planned to treat their new generation as servants, not realizing that every one of their sweet babies were little princes and princesses. the older generation calls themselves the kids 'aunties' and 'uncles'. they rebelled from the empire to protect their second generation, which promptly them off and grounded their ships so they've been messaging caeser.

hazmit is an individual with two brains. for whatever reason, they got their hands on a deceased, preserved limebloods brain when they were pretty young and that brain was still crackling with psychic powers--it managed to preserve itself by controlling a tealbloods body. in doing so, however, both of their identities got mixed up when bodysharing, so they now consider themselves to be a single person. ultimately, they don't want their second brain to be so isolated from them, so they're trying to figure out a way to integrate it into their body. this is why they lug it with them everywhere. a combination of experiments and psychic influence has is bleaching the orange in their horns lime green. they're a dobsonfly morph.

hazmit is a selfish person who prioritizes themselves above everyone else. some might argue that they only have the personality of the limeblooded brain that psychically badgered its way into the tealblood's body. but once, it was a tealblood who kept the brain of a dead grub, given by the jadebloods to be fed to their lusus, and obsessed over it, refusing to accept grief and let it die. it is hard to condemn their limeblood half for liberating themselves from containment by psychically possessing the nearest vassal. they were both children and the mistakes they made were painfully understandable, but they haven't grown from the brutal happenstance that formed themselves. they see the world as cruel and they want to be the ones in control.

in their mind, the lines between creator and creation have blurred, but their personalities aren't quite as seamless as they'd like it to be and they're aware of some splits and disagreements they have within themselves. as such they consider themselves to be one person, who's also in a kismesis type relationship with... themselves. again, hazmit is a wacky dude. whatever went horribly wrong with them cannot be peeled apart at this point.

scymon was literally just adopted by fikkit's lusus so he could take baby pictures with her and his new kid. hes probably one of the worst/goofiest designs i ever made i did NOT take scymon seriously. its the horns for me. 'what horns should the hourglass themed cerulean's younger sibling have' 'just slap an hourglass on it and call it a day' type beat. he has an unusually deep and gurgling voice as he struggles to speak around those big fangs.

fikkits dad is a speaking lusus and is actually pretty depressed he doesnt get to spend more time with his kids before they're sent planet side, so he NORMALLY very rarely adopts a kid. it doesnt help hes on the far side of the nursery cavern from where the teens enter are supposed to enter it. fikkit only managed to get to him by traveling with her girlfriend and her mom on her girlfriend's lusus, a flyhorse, but they needed to take along theodochia's baby sister so she'd be looked after. fikkits dad took one look at the sisters and went oh my god. i NEED photos of fikkit with a baby RIGHT NOW. he adopted scymon not long after and love his son just as much as he does fikkit, even if picking him up was a bit impulsive.

Excell's been obsessed with hunting for ghosts for a long time, and he repairs ancient, manual troll technology to do so. The tunnels between the gold city and school are creepy, abandonded, and a perfect place to look. Recently a device he brought back gained sentience, and he's so proud that a ROBOT can develop an identity and personality--though a lot of his friends have pointed out that Banana Junior's behavior is suspiciously more like a troll then a robot. Excell, eager to accept the robot revolution, denies their observations because Banana Junior is literally his best friend and moirail!?! He is dating that computer. It's because he respects its PERSONHOOD.

Excell might seem a bit like a nerd stereotype that you might disrespect but he has complete confidence in his own identity and interests and is a really solid dude. Super talented, too. I think he's pretty awesome, actually. He's also genuinely a very good friend. I like how i built his personality, kinda like a fun blend of concepts around Aradia and Sollux.

He's unfortunately wrong about Banana Junior--that's totally a spirit made of electricity possessing his computer, and toying with him setting off his electronics when he goes ghost hunting. Junior finds playing with Excell way more interesting then look into their own identity, which they don't really remember--they don't want the confirmation that they really are dead.

the hydralusus was the closest to ever try to permanently adopt melosa, as they and their kids loved and appreciated her a lot. melosa tried to leave without saying goodbye, so the hydralusus and all its babies spent a day chasing her down!! melosa was really surprised that they all came looking for her, and it meant a lot to her that they'd accept her as part of their family. but melosa chose to keep wandering. the big family understood, and let her move on, but they made sure she would always know she'd have a home with them.

bonding with the hydralusus was a big step forward for melosa and shows her growth respecting, understanding and empathizing with lusii. several of lusus melosa stayed with cared a lot for her, seeing her as a child in need of care, but she hadn't truly accepted that affection until she connected with the hydra. it was the moment she grew out of her hatred for lusus.

Themis is the head of the jade caste at the school and she takes her roll very seriously, pressuring younger trolls in her caste not to use their recently-acquired rights to NOT work in the caverns, but instead live a life of their choosing. AKA, there is a lot of social pressure on jades to conform to their expected duties and Themis is a traditionalist who wants the jades at school to appear unified and strong. Thusly, Melosa's misbehavior and outright hatred for the jade caste drives her crazy, especially considering Melosa's rare and special morph. She doesn't want

She's named 'themis' for artemis, because it was artemis killed the shit out of babies. Themis believes strongly in culling/letting trolls experience harshness to grow up strongly. her godtier is Judge of Void.

Leonol is a male oliveblood with a lot of RAW CONFIDENCE for being like 4 sweeps old. i wanted to make a catboy bc i already had two oliveblooded catgirls. hes based on that chill and confident big tomcat with the big cheeks type vibe. based on sphinx moth+sabertooth tiger. prince of doom because he destroys doom itself. dont worry. leonol's got it handled. even though hes like, 8. Chaoyi is Melosa's sister, younger by only a couple sweeps. Melosa was left with a virgin spotted mothergrub lusus that didn't bond with her, and as a result spent her first few sweeps barely surviving as the VSM grew more and more incensed at the 'pest' in it's living space. their relationship frew more and more antagonistic and they badly injured each other, melosa fleeing and being presumed dead while the jades, finally visiting the hive after a few sweeps, were horrified to find a mothergrub so badly injured. the VSM was returned to the jade caverns to recover physically and mentally. during this time, it bonded with a second child still a grub, and the jades let the VSM keep it's new charge.

upon discovering the VSM had a different kid in the hive, melosa initially feared the VSM to be hunting the wriggler as she'd grown up, only to be more distraught to learn chaoyi was healthy, happy, and cared for. melosa almost started another fight with the VSM, which was defending chaoyi from her, and cut off half her own hair in an act of defiance. initially, chaoyi couldn't possibly believe melosa to be her sister, because she had such a good relationship with her lusus, but after she wasn't believed by the jade adults checking up on the VSM's health that melosa had survived, she realized melosa had to be right.

melosa kept stopping by home and visiting chaoyi because if the VSM started hurting another wriggler, melosa wasn't going to let them handle it alone like she had. she didnt care about chaoyi's opinion and was shocked when chaoyi apologized and believed melosa. the two have an extremely awkward relationship but they are also both very dear to each other, and consider the other important family.
