Snorpy Fizzlebean

Snorpy is a paranoid conspiracy theorist who believes all the misfortune in his life is due to his being targeted by a shadowy organization called the Grumpinati. He is highly suspicious of unfamiliar individuals and refuses to speak to the Journalist until Chandlo vouches for them. However, once his trust is gained, he is eager to speak about his findings and beliefs. He suspects the Bugsnax are produced underground in some sort of factory, deliberately engineered to be delicious while being used to track and monitor those on the island, and that eating them can neutralize them somehow. He is fiercely introverted due to his chronic anxiety. When in public, he attempts to disguise his true intentions by speaking loudly about mundane topics, in an effort to fool the Grumpinati agents he believes are constantly watching his every move. He also uses hugs to place tracking devices on people or share secret information.In a parallel to Chandlo, Snorpy is fixated on the idea that he must keep his friend and partner safe through ignorance, that Chandlo must be kept from knowing what Snorpy perceives as the truth for the sake of his own safety. This causes friction between them, as Chandlo is more perceptive than Snorpy believes him to be. Snorpy also butts heads with his older sibling Floofty, who he accuses of "working for the man." Snorpy is an engineer and was the one who designed and built most of the tools used by the journalist, as well the buildings of Snaxburg together with Chandlo.
