Gobbleygourd

Mine: Mirror Fire islands, Baby gobbleygourd (doubtful tbh), Shadow islet, new profile cards and borders.

Share yours please! I would love to see some.

I made this because another post did the same thing but it got deleted as I was writing a reply to it ;-;

Think about it! An island where only Seasonals and Mythicals can go! Seasonals like… oh, a certain gobbley-gobbley-god amongst monsters?

And why release it in waves, anyways, if we all know what the adult forms look like? No, they’re releasing the monsters in waves because they’re hyping us up for something at the end. This was only the beginning.

My friends, we will be getting the Hex.

And that Hex will be Gobbleygourd.

Wynq:

Wynq is really cool and he really kills it with "rum diddly dum". Kayna ruined Wynq's verse

Gobbleygourd:

This turkey monster is super silly and adorable, contributes to every song he's in!

Mimic:

Same reason as Gobbleygourd, I don't know why people hate him, he's just a silly bird!

The Dipsters:

They contribute to song with simple "dip"s and make every song less annoying!

X'rt:

Burping sounds contribute and help the Workshop's song a lot!

(Note: this thing was a joke)

WE HAVIN' A MEAL TONIGHT!

Hey there! If you don't know what I'm doing I'm picking a monster at random, and asking people to ruin it. Last time, we had Maw. Today, It's Gobbleygourd, anyway, comment what you want me to do to it.

RULES

1. Nothing too overboard, or absurd.

2. Be clear on what you're requesting.

3. Don't request anything that would ruin it TOO much.

4. Have fun!

I will set my pfp to front facing gobbleygourd for a week

That's how certain I am

When they revealed the process of Gobbleygourdification in the Perplexplore trailer, they said they'd update some bios to match. I couldn't find any changes for Mimic, Gobbleygourd, and its Rare and Epic variants. Did they update any bios at all?

Also, Cruv'laaptian Crocus' bio mentions streaking meteor showers in its performance, but we never see these. When I first saw that, I wondered if that would be the equivalent to Phlox's aurora in the sky.. yet we never got that.

It makes me wonder if that was a scrapped sound for Crocus that was later tossed aside for the eye critters, which sound noticeably out of place from the other two sounds.

So uh what do y'all think

My top 5 Seasonals:

1. Carrilong: Carrilong is my favorite seasonal for many reasons: its sound is amazing on EVERY island it is on, its design is just perfect it represents Chinese New Year so well, heck even its NAME is a perfect pun, its just, *chef’s kiss* You can’t miss with carrilong :)

2. Gobbleygourd: I know that they get a lot of hate, but they are a good seasonal! Fire Haven may not be the best but Seasonal Shanty is good (for the island)

3. Hoola: Most of you can agree with me on the point that Hoola is a gem on S.S.! (even though i think the island is absolute dogwater) I wonder how it manages to hula hoop AND carry the island simultaneously?

4. Ffyidll: (i don’t know how to spell their name😭) I might be a little bit biased since i play violin as well, but i love their verse on S.S.! Faerie island is also amazing and their little jig is the cherry on top.

5. Boo’quwrm: I don’t have much to say about them but they sound good on both islands. The only problem with i have with them is that their name is literally unpronounceable lol

Dishonorable Mention: I HATE blabbit. I’m GLAD that… thing is only on 3 islands. water and Seasonal are mid at best. gold island is an amazing island but blabbit doesn’t help. Its design isn’t scary like a monster should be, it’s just… ugly. Like a boched surgery between a man and an overweight rabbit. And don’t even get me started on the sound! (this is coming from an ADHD standpoint so bear with me) It’s sound is right up there with the worst sounds i’ve ever heard along with chewing and nails on chalkboard.

you can figure out the others by yourself lol

(unrelated fact, i was listening to hfjone music while typing this) :)

Repatillo and Tring on Fire Haven

Rare Glowl on Fire Oasis (1st Fire Rare!)

Gobbleygourd on Fire Haven

Rare Wynq

Things I did NOT get this Perplexplore:

Spurrit :(

Since the Dawn of Fire, fans have yearned to discover the Natural Hex. Even amidst the near-constant discouragement of the Monster-Handlers, and their persistent insistence that the Wubbox is the true Hex, we stood our ground and continued to believe that one day, a monster bearing the six natural elements would arrive and play a melody so beautiful that the Colossals themselves would rise from the ground and sing their sonorous serenades once more. But the truth is, the reveal of the Hex has already passed, and it was on the 20th day of November, in 2019.

Allow me to explain.

A long time ago, the Quint-Element Monster Mimic sought a new form, so it composed one of its own imagination. Over time, it continued to modify its form until it was no longer a Mimic. It had become something new, something better… a Gobbleygourd.

While the Gobbleygourd is officially a single-element Seasonal Monster, it was recently confirmed to be a descendant of Mimic as well, which means it is already, in effect, a Quint. But not just a normal Quint.

Gobbleygourd is the Seasonal for the Feast-Ember event, an event in which it can arrive on two islands, and two islands only: Fire Oasis and Fire Haven. Being of the element of Feast-Ember, this makes Gobbleygourd one of two non-Fire Monsters who only appear on Fire Islands. (Spurrit is the other, but it may actually be an evolved human. Seasonal Shanty is not technically an island, because it is a settlement created by monsters to house Seasonals specifically.)

There’s a reason Gobbleygourd only appears on Fire Islands. When the slowly evolving Mimic ventured outwards, it discovered the lost soul of the Fire Colossal imbued into not one, but two landmasses. Deciding to call these places home, the Mimic settled down and evolved there over thousands of years, which would cause it to adopt a new element: the element of Fire. Epic Noggin evolved in a similar manner, albeit without adopting a new element, but the Mimic is much more versatile than Noggin and could theoretically accomplish this feat.

Although the Gobbleygourd technically only has one element (as I previously mentioned), the Monster-Handlers refer to Wubbox as the Hex despite its element, Supernatural, only being one element. Their reasoning is that the Supernatural element is a combination of all six Natural elements. If this is supposedly true for Wubbox, then why not for Gobbleygourd? The “Feast-Ember” element could, in truth, encompass all six Natural elements in a similar manner to Supernatural.

Finally, while all other Seasonals have an appearance that matches their chosen domain (aside from Spurrit, for reasons previously stated), Gobbleygourd does not. In fact, it is adorned with leaves and plants, which is an odd choice of adaptation for one who frequents an inactive volcano for a month out of every year. This adaptation came to be because of the Monster’s elemental makeup: as a Hex, Gobbleygourd has the element of Plant as what appears to be its dominant element. If a Hex such as Gobbleygourd has a dominant element, this hints at the existence of other Hexes with the same makeup, but different dominant elements. This would create a total of six distinct Hexes, with Gobbleygourd being the first in a line of many to come.

In conclusion, although many fans despaired over the lack of a Natural Hex, they should despair no longer, for their Hex, their savior, has arrived at last.
