U.B. Funkey of the Week

Bomble

Long before the creation of the portals, the distant peaks and valleys of the great Wowsnatch mountain range were once uncharted and dangerous lands where only the bravest explorers dared go. One such explorer, the great Bagley Webley returned from a year long expedition to the Wowsnatch range, telling incredible tales of a wild tribe of Funkeys he had discovered while exploring its highest peaks.
While lost in a terribly fierce blizzard, Bagley saw a savage looking hairy Funkey taking a casual nap in a frozen bed of snow. Being awoken from a leisurely afternoon nap, this strange new Funkey was angry to say the least, and immediately let out a fearsome roar. Terrified, Bagley reached into his web pouch, and gabbed the only thing he could find. He held it out, and said "Uhh…I caught you a delicious Bass."
Bagley spent the next year living with the Yeti, as he called them. Living on the peak of a mountain, the Bomble’s diet consisted of nothing more then snow-cones and ice-cubes, and and a slim stick of spicy meat the Yeti called chim! The Bomble took Bagley in as one of their own, taught him their language, and even let him participate in their nightly laughing ritual they called the Big Hoot; basically, sitting around the fire, passing gas and talking sports. Bagley loved that the most.
Of course, upon Bagley’s return, with no evidence that these “Bomble” actually existed, many a Funkey did not believe his wild tales of savage mountain dwelling Funkeys. For years, other explorers tried in vain to prove the existence of the Bomble, but it was not until Kings Sidd’s zeppelin appeared above Funkeystown, that the existence of the Bomble was finally proven.
With a promise of unlimited fish dinners, Sidd had convinced the Bomble to leave the frigid homes and travel to the Hidden Realm. Using their brute strength, and a fighting style they call Icebreaking, the Yeti have become fearsome competitors, fighting for the entertainment of King’s Sidd in his Battledome.

U.B. Funkey Of The Week

Berger
While the Boggle may be famous for their Boggle Butter, the Berger are famous for their cheese! The Berger are master cheese-smiths, and have perfected thousands of recipes for creating some quite interesting cheese combinations.
True Funkey food connoisseurs love to attend the Berger's famous cheese tasting parties where they can debate the merits of each variety of cheese. Does the Triple-Dipple Funkberry Gouda taste better with a glass of fresh bumblejuice, or is the not so subtle taste explosion of a Dirty Berger Cheddar Platter more appropriate? It's all just a matter of taste!
The Berger have a real sense of their history. Their ancient King is preserved in a kind of plastic coating and on the display in the great Berger hall. He is a real tourist draw, attracting many visitors each day. Some find him majestic, others a bit creepy as he stares out at you with plastic eyes.
Not only do the Berger create the most delicious varieties of cheese throughout Terrapinia, they are also the cheesiest when it comes to conversation! The Berger are notorious braggarts, particularly about their cheeses, and always seem to have an obvious and artless way of making a point. They have a very effected way of speaking that makes even their most casual statements sound like conceit. "I'm soooooo happy to see you" or "please moooooove your car" come off quite arrogant. Despite this, deep down the Berger are truly good natured Funkeys!
