Gobbo

The Gobbos are a race of cute little fuzzballs native to Forest Island. They are the creatures that rescued Croc. The Gobbos are ruled by several different kings, each king ruling a portion of Gobbo land. The king of The Gobbo Archipelago is named King Rufus, while the names of the different kings of the Mainland are unknown. We can, however, refer to them as the Inca King, Caveman King, Sailor King, ect. There are four tribes of Gobbos in Croc 2: the Sailor Tribe, the Cossack Tribe, the Prehistoric Tribe, and the Inca Tribe. Each of the tribes is preoccupied with a certain style which is reflected in their environment, their village, and their clothing.

Island Gobbos
These Gobbos have no clothes, are showing their tails, and appear to have cultures of their own, and are brown in color.

Beliefs and Practices
An ancient ritual, at the start of every new year, the Gobbo high priestess would announce which kitchen utensil would bring them good luck if put down the front of their pants/trousers (even though it has been proved that Gobbos wore nothing). Only a few years are known by modern Gobbos. They are:


 * Year of the Electric Can Opener (This was the first year when many Gobbos began to question the practice.)
 * Year of the Three Minute Egg Timer (Apparently the most fun ever the Gobbos ever had in a year)
 * Year of the Soupspoon (The year of Croc's arrival and the Invasion of Gobbo Valley

Inventions
The Gobbos have been known to invent certain objects, and some of their best were:
 * Edible Deoderant
 * Wind-Powered Cow Moistener

Mainland Gobbos
The mainland Gobbos have no tails or are hiding them, they wear clothes, and they seem to mimic different groups and races of humans, and are an orange color.

Village Hierachy
The Mainland Gobbos have a hierachy which the Gobbos there strictly adhere to. The King of the village is the leader of the village, with his subjects being at the second highest level. Below them are the normal Gobbos.

Language
Like the islander Gobbos, the mainland variants are able to speak, and seem more adapted to a language than their islander counterparts. The gibberish "voices" for the Gobbos and other characters in Croc 2 were created from recording words in English, and then chopping them up and mixing them around in order to acheive a 'babbling' effect.

Trivia

 * As shown by the Sailor King, Gobbos believe the world is flat, 'like pancake.'
 * The Mainland Gobbos seem to not know anything about the Gobbo Archipelago, made clear when the Sailor King said 'we are only Gobbos in world.'
