The Astropod is a bizarre amalgam of seemingly incompatible features that come together to create a truly unique Monster performer. The electricity that courses through its Wublin body manifests itself between its antlers and in the color-shifting tufts on its shell. Conversing with an Astropod is a complicated affair, as the slightest movement of its puny upper arms communicates nuanced subtexts and exposed veiled thoughts.

”

Astropod is the 15th Wublin in Wublin Island.

Description

The Astropod resembles an upright nudibranch with a vibrant purple shell on its back along with small purple spots on its underside that light up when it plays. It has two large arms on its sides that rest on the ground and two tiny yellow upper arms near its chest. Its face has small eyes, a purple underbite, sprouting two visible teeth, with a small yellow goatee underneath the underbite and a pair of purple antlers. It also has a tuft on its purple shell that changes color and resembles a tuft on an actual nudibranch. Electricity can be seen between its antlers.

The monsters zapped into Astropod are reflected in its appearance: much like the Toe Jammer, Spunge, and Deedge, its body is very lump-like. Its antlers and shell tufts are from Scups' horns and tuft of hair, its shell is from Shellbeat, and its small arms and large legs are from Reedling.

Song

Instrument: Keytar

It plays an electronic sound reminiscent of a keytar. It adds a verse to the very beginning of Wublin Island's song, accompanied by the Thwok and Dwumrohl. It proceeds to play through the island's former first verse, and in the verse after the Whajje's, Zuuker's, and Pixolotl's first time singing (When the Dermit and Blipsqueak join in).

Earning rate

The Astropod, like all other Wublins, will produce coins, diamonds, food, and shards, but at no specified rate, although always less than a day.

Multiple Astropods may produce any of these four currencies independently from each other: Coins (), Shards (), Treats (), and Diamonds ().

Powering Up

The allotted time to fill a Astropod in order to activate is 10 days. If the inventory is not completed in the time the Astropod resets to an empty statue and all eggs inside are lost.

Strategy

Astropod requires Water Island. To fill this Wublin, you should have the rare versions of Deedge and Shellbeat. If you don't, you'll have to use a Triple-Element and One-Element. Start with breeding the Deedges on Cold Island, Scupses on Air Island (It is recommended to use Scups + Rare Scups. If you don't have Rare Scups, use Scups + Riff, however, there's a 1% chance of getting a Reebro), Shellbeats on Water Island and Reedlings on Earth Island and Fire Haven (It is recommended to use Reedling + Rare Reedling. If you don't have Rare Reedling, use Quarrister + Reedling, however, you run the risk of a Humbug). When the Deedges and Shellbeats are done, use Cold and Water Islands for breeding the Spunges and Reedlings. For Spunge, it is recommended to have Rare Spunge. Using Spunge + Deedge or Shellbeat can get you a Grumpyre or a Jeeode. The Toe-Jammers can be bred on Plant Island, Fire Oasis, Psychic Island, and Bone Island.

Name Origins

The name comes from "Gastropod", a term describing snails and slugs, and "Astro", meaning related to stars.

Astropod can also mean "Starfoot", explaining the second Wublin fact about this Monster.

Notes

It was teased in a word-search puzzle, in which you eliminate the other Wublin names and find the remaining letters. [1]. The answer is "Wublin Astropod!".

Teaser of the creation of Astropod (published in January)
The January Teaser explanation
It breaks the pattern of releasing an instrumental Wublin, and then a vocal Wublin.
The January teaser confirms (or suggests) that the Wubbox is the creator of the Wublins by its shadow.
Astropod resembles a purple aplysia, a genus of gastropods.
Astropod's statue has eyedots.
Astropod and Fleechwurm are the only Wublins that don’t play with Pixolotl.
This Wublin is the first Wublin not to have its music featured in the Wublin Island tutorial.
This Wublin is the second Wublin not to have its music in the Wublin Island soundtrack. The first one is Scargo. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth are Pixolotl, Bona-Petite, Maulch, and Fleechwurm.
Coincidentally, both Astropod and Scargo are based off mollusks.
All of the monsters that are required to wake up this Wublin are water-based, with the exception of the Deedge.
On the 26th of February, 2017, Big Blue Bubble released a gif stating five facts about the newest 5 Wublins. The facts for Astropod are:
- Gravitates towards foreign films.
- Underside of its "foot" said to resemble a star.
- Shed shell tufts make great mood rings.
