Goob is a beige, humanoid craft with fluff, blush, and freckles. Goob is kind and energetic, excelling in high mobility and team support. His ability, "Goobability Hug!", pulls teammates, useful for rescues and assistance. With low stealth, Goob often acts as a distractor. He is available for purchase in the store.
Goob is one happy craft! He loves to spend time with family! His sister Scraps is never far! Goob teaches children that hugs are some of the best medicine to a frown!
Goob stands out with his exceptional Mobility, ranking as one of the fastest Toons in the game, thanks to his 4 ★ Movement Speed. With the right speed-enhancing Trinkets, Goob can easily outrun and outpace most of the Common, Rare, and even some Main Character Twisteds, excluding the Twisted Pebble.
Goob also possesses 2 ★ Stealth, which matches the Stealth of Toons like Teagan, Vee, and Glisten. This makes Goob a fantastic choice for distracting Twisteds and drawing their attention away from teammates who are working on Machines. His fast Movement and low Stealth make him ideal for this role.
The core strength of Goob lies in his Ability, Goobability Hug!. This Ability allows Goob to pull another Toon toward himself as long as they are in his line of sight. It offers several useful applications, from saving teammates to assisting with movement:
► Pulling a Toon away from a Twisted
► Pulling a Toon into the Elevator
► Helping a slow-moving Toon travel faster by pulling them
► Bringing a high Extraction Speed Toon over to a Machine
Goobability Hug! is an incredibly versatile Ability that is great for assisting teammates. Goob can use his high Mobility to get into the best positions for using his Ability. Due to its wide range of uses, Goob can make use of it frequently, making it an essential tool. If a Twisted is between Goob and the Toon he's trying to pull, Goob can still safely pull them through the Twisted, as the target remains invulnerable during the pull. Note that Goob used to be able to pull players out of the Elevator, but this feature is no longer available.
In terms of Items, Goob doesn’t require many Speed Items due to his already impressive Mobility, but it can be helpful to carry Stamina-Restoring Items like Bottle o' Pop, Pop, or Protein Bar to keep his energy up during extended play. Health Items are also vital for Goob, as he often puts himself at risk of being hit while serving as a Distractor.
While Goob is primarily a Distractor, his decent Extraction Speed and Skill Check stats also make him a viable Extractor when needed. This can be useful if another player wants to focus on the distraction role, or if you're not as proficient in it.
Goob is a humanoid craft with a beige color, featuring a rounded square-shaped head adorned with tufts of fluff on the forehead and cheeks. His eyes are accented with light yellowish-orange blush beneath them, complemented by blue freckles on the left side and red freckles on the right. His torso is light yellowish orange, with tufts of fluff on his neck.
Goob’s arms are made of long, thick, noodley black strings. His left hand is blue on the right side and has red claws, while his right hand is red on the left side with blue claws. Both of his hands are large and rounded. Additionally, he sports light yellowish-orange stripes on his knees and ankles. He is commonly depicted as being cross-eyed.
Goob is a friendly and outgoing Toon with a lively personality. He is energetic and quite innocent in nature. His interactions with Rodger suggest that Goob’s hugs are not strategically planned, but rather a simple belief that others need a hug. He is also known for his easy excitement and cheerful demeanor.
Due to Goob's low Stealth and high Movement Speed, it's recommended to equip Trinkets that boost his speed. This will significantly improve his ability to Distract Twisteds. The optimal Trinket combinations for Goob include:
Speed
Dog Plush/Speedy Shoes
► This combo offers a 10% Walk Speed boost from the Dog Plush and a 5% Walk Speed/Run Speed bonus from the Speedy Shoes, making Goob even better at Distracting Twisteds. With these Trinkets, Goob can outrun and outwalk many Twisteds, including Twisted Shelly and Twisted Toodles. Additionally, the extra movement speed allows Goob to increase the distance between himself and the Twisteds, helping him recover Stamina and avoid getting hit.
Dog Plush/Pink Bow
► While similar to the Dog Plush/Speedy Shoes combination, this set adds an additional 7.5% Running Speed, which helps Goob conserve his Stamina, especially when facing faster Twisteds. These Trinkets are especially recommended for new Distractors who want to maintain high mobility.
Clown Horn/Ribbon Spool
► This combo provides the same benefits as the Dog Plush but adds a 10% Run Speed boost. The advantage of this set is that it's active on all floors (unlike when you equip just one of these Trinkets). However, note that Walk Speed is the key factor when Distracting, and a 10% extra Run Speed may occasionally be less effective than preferred.
Extraction
Magnifying Glass/Participation Award
► This is a great Trinket combo for Goob if you're looking to play as an Extractor. His decent skill check, combined with the mobility boost from this set, makes him a reliable choice for Extraction tasks while maintaining high mobility.
