Belch’s factory likely contains all sorts of weird chemicals and substances used to 1. Bring zombies to life, and 2. Create fly honey. These chemicals alone would not have been anything special, but Giygas, who’s evil influence brought trees, statues, and mushrooms to life, also affected the gummy-like substances that became the Foppies. This explains how they’re so easily defeatable, because they simply pop into jelly when hit with a bat.

But what about the Fobbies in Lumine Hall, far from any factory? Perhaps they are distant relatives of the equally gummy Tendas, or maybe a result of the strange power emanating from the nearby sanctuary. Or maybe a combination of both!

I’ve seen the truth firsthand. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you, but heck, I’ll give it a shot.

See, I’ve been hunting rare enemies for the last thirteen and a half years. Chomposaurs, Criminal Caterpillars, and even Shattered Men. Never paid much mind to the Fobbies and Foppies and all that. But, you know, one day I got to thinking. Where’d they all come from? Why were there so many of them?

So instead of stomping them like I usually did, I followed one around for a while. A Foppy, bright pink and innocent-looking. You almost feel bad for offing those things. When you really pay attention, isn’t it funny how those things all look the same?

Well, the little guy wandered around for a while. Offered me a few punches, but it didn’t hurt any. Once it got bored, I made like I was gonna be on my way. But, see, I didn’t go home. I hid behind the corner and followed it back, wherever it was going. You gotta wonder where those things go at night.

It led me through a whole bunch of caves. Now I was getting interested. I wasn’t expecting much, but this place was pretty dark and cramped and I’d never explored it much. By the looks of it, neither had anyone else. There were lots of stalagmites and stalactites that’d been rubbed smooth just by drips of water, not curious hands. And it dripped, all right! I swear you could hear a drop fall from a mile away.

The place got so dark that I could hardly see. If the Foppy wasn’t bright pink, I would’ve lost it. No clue how long I walked, but finally I saw a sort of light.

You can imagine how shocked I was when I peered around a corner and saw a massive pink glob. No joke, this thing was fifty times my size. And there were Foppies crawling around everywhere.

I stayed dead silent, I swear, but the whole cave shook and suddenly the thing was looking at me. I wanted to run, more than anything I’ve ever wanted before, but I could see it in its eyes that there was no way I’d make it. And speaking of its eyes, it had about six of them. Crazy stuff.

It came real close to me and blinked at me with all those creepy eyes. You bet I tried to look as friendly as I could. It felt like ten whole minutes before it made this sighing sort of sound, and then turned back away from me. I thought I’d caught a lucky break, but it turned out that I really hadn’t, cause then the whole place started coming down.

I ran like hell. Only thing I could think was that I was gonna die, but I looked back once. There was something enormous and orange barreling after me. You can imagine what it was, but I’ll let you know it had at least twelve eyes.

There was a whole sea of Fobbies and Foppies crashing around behind me. I was terrified out of my mind. I don’t remember how I got out of there—all I knew was that I was breathing in sweet air and going half-blind with sunlight. Thank god.

If that makes you curious, lemme warn you—it’s not worth it. You beat around those things and laugh ’cause you got free XP. Well, trust me when I say that you ought to pass ’em by. Seriously.

The Foppies were originally stationed West of Saturn Valley, near the waterfall. They live in peace and harmony, making trades with the Mr. Saturns often to enhance each other’s quality of living. The Mr. Saturns’ technological abilities helped the Foppies function as a whole, making houses, hospitals, and other things the Fobbies weren’t capable of making. The Foppies would then in turn donate their prized possession, Fly Honey. The two groups learned from each other, and they both eventually were able to do what they couldn’t do at first, with their own style and culture influence on what they make.
It was many years later when the peace was broken, when the Foppies and the Saturns noticed something different, a stench, in fact. It was nothing they had even smelt before, and it was terrible. As you, as a reader may be able to assume, it was no other than Master Belch, and his terrible smelling faction of puke and slime. They craved one thing that was now only regarded as legend in Eagleland, fly honey.
Upon arrival, Master Belch took both societies and captured them, as they both made fly honey. They set up base there, calling it belch base. The Saturns were chosen to make the fly honey for them. Since the Mr. Saturns had less time with making the substance, theirs smelt worse than the Foppies’ honey, making Master Belch feel more proud of who he was and his aroma. The Foppies on the other hand were horrified of the smell coming from the slimy little pies, and would parade Belch Base, pretending to be on guard as well, but secretly taking some fly honey and using it to improve the stench of Belch Base.
A bit later was when Ness and his friends showed up, about a year or so after Master Belch setting up base. The Foppies noticed the power of Ness and his friends, and therefore would follow Ness and his friends to see what caused such power. These unknown creatures made Ness feel uncomfortable, especially the large number of them. Yes, they were mostly harmless, but the Foppies were only trying to see who they were. Unfortunately, this caused poking and prodding that would lead Ness and his friends to lashing out on them.
That same day, Master Belch was defeated by Ness and his friends, so the Foppies and Mr. Saturns were good to leave. The Mr. Saturns stayed, but the Foppies decided to leave, since their cover was blown over the fly honey. They then changed their name to the Fobbies, hoping that no one could ever recognize them again as the fly honey makers written down as legend.
The Foppies traveled far and wide, stumbling upon Deep Darkness. The muck in Deep Darkness caused hardly anyone to come by, since it was dangerous. On top of that, the Foppies discovered psychic abilities from the bacteria in the water, making them more powerful, changing their pigment from a deep red to a nice orange. They could even make fly honey here as well, the conditions worked, and the muck somehow made their fly honey help the Fobbies concentrate. The Fobbies once again found another tribe to work with, the Tendas. The Tendas provided shelter, while The Fobbies provided Fly Honey. The Fobbies were once again hopeful of happiness, one they may be able to achieve at last.
However, it didn’t last long. Master Belch, now known as the Big Pile of Puke, had once again discovered the whereabouts of the Fobbies, and went to search in Deep Darkness for them and their fabled fly honey. However, thanks to the Tendas, the Fobbies were able to hide in Lumine Hall. The Big Pile of Puke was soon to be defeated by Ness, and the Fobbies were safe, or so they thought. Inside Lumine Hall was the Electro Specter, and his cronies of Uncontrollable Spheres. The Fobbies were also trapped, their entrance to Deep Darkness was closed off by a giant rock that had somehow gotten there. The Fobbies, without their fly honey, were unable to concentrate, causing them to lose their minds, and unable to escaped, trapped in their own insanity.
However, Ness and his friends were here again, stronger. The Fobbies remembered Ness, and knew he was powerful, so they tried to force Ness to bring them back to Deep Darkness. They were unable to do so. Without their concentration, they were once again mostly harmless. All they could do was wait.
But then, a flash of light in the darkness! Electro Specter was defeated by Ness and his friends. The Fobbies were free, once again. Without the threat of Master Belch and his fleet, the Fobbies could live in peace, in their home land by Saturn Valley. They went back to Saturn Valley, and started to rebuild their society of who they were. They were Fobbies, a society of sweet treat makers, that rely on the relationships of others to achieve something great.
