Oh man. Chocolant might be one of the most delicious looking Bugsnax of all! Not that chocolate is my favorite food represented in the game, but specifically Chocolant’s model looks so so tantalizing. Look at it!
Those limbs and mandibles are oh so ooey gooey, so perfectly melty, I can just imagine slurping them, can’t you? I don’t like dark chocolate, but it is the milk chocolate that looks the best here, and the white chocolate second best. Chocolant is an ant, of course, and while there are existing ant snax in Shishkabug, Tropicabug, and Instabug, this is a DIFFERENT ant one. It is specifically based on a bulldog ant, which is why it has such big mandibles! These ants are known for aggression, but Chocolant is not actually aggressive. It’s just a bit cheeky!
For example, Chocolants may be found walking around in some Buggy Ball mazes, where they will cheekily pick up the ball if it comes into contact with them. This can be annoying, but can also be used to your advantage. So far, Chocolant is a morally gray character.
They can also be found just moseying around. “Dum de dum dum”, thinks Chocolant, as it strolls aimlessly. There is not much to say about these strolling ones. They are just going about their day.
The REAL fun with Chocolants is that they can be found riding on the back of Cellystix, creating an Ants On a Log snak! Usually, this is made with raisins in peanut butter on celery, but there is already a raisin snak in Grapeskeeto, and this can be made using chocolate chips anyway, in case you don’t want to be TOO healthy. Chocolants love their big adoptive guardian, and if a big Cellystix is nearby, they will attempt to jump back onto its back! They are sweeties under their rough exterior!
Chocolants love not just peanut butter, but also chocolate... does this make them CANNIBALS?! No. It does not. Bugsnax are made of Snakmatter! They can slurp as much as they want!
Gonna have to see what Buddy thinks of Gramble, chief, if you please?
You ask Buddy about Gramble
"Gramble is really gentle and I admire how determined he is to train the Bugsnax regardless of their size or aggression. Every time I bring him a new one his face lights up (sometimes cries too) and it makes me happy to see him happy. I try and stick around for a little bit so they can get introduced properly. Unrelated but I think he could definitely beat up Wambus if you put them both in a cage match."
I know little to nothing about Bugsnax but I saw chocolant on the wiki while looking at their designs and I knew instantly "I have to draw Sholmes with one"
