ORANGE PEELBUG

Now this is a Bugsnak of all time! Look at this thing! There are four Peelbugs, but Orange Peelbug is the perfect classic, so this is where I will be gushing about them the most. The Summer of Bugsnax campaign described it as “The skittish citrus that’s always on a roll!”, which is simply perfect, like everything else about Orange Peelbug!

First of all, it’s based on a pill bug, and the name Peelbug is perfect, top-notch, cream of the crop! And this Snak is indeed roly-poly, because it can roll!

Just like real pill bugs, Peelbugs can curl into an orb when they need to, and this is so so clever to be applied to citrus fruits! Oranges already are naturally “pre-sliced”, and it is so smart to implement that into a bug version’s behavior! When not rolled up, Peelbugs just resemble a bunch of fruit slices in a line, but this sort of resembles a bug on its own, without anything needing to be changed! It is kind of amazing!

Orange Peelbugs are most comfortable in hollow logs on the beach, and like all Peelbugs, can be flushed out using the Buggy Ball. Just like the Kweebles, Gramble is quite fond of Peelbugs! The only one we know the name of is Steve, but that’s okay. When Gramble returns to Snaxburg with his little friends, the Peelbugs roll all the way, as they can crawl or roll depending on the situation!

“Oh good” Charby heaved a sigh of relief. “We can pull him out now, right?”

Filbo only sighed. “Unfortunately snakwater makes things incredibly slick.”
