The Gabubu[1] (カププ[2] lit. "Kapupu"?) is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, piranha-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman.
Apperance[]
The Gabubu is based on piranhas. They have a blue coloring, a gray fin, tail, and underbelly, and two fangs. They also have orange sclera and black eyes.
Overview[]
In Sonic Labyrinth, the Gabubus appear exclusively in Labyrinth of the Castle 4-3. They will be telegraphed from a shadow in the flowing water of the level, before jumping out of it after a set distance. The Gabubu cannot be destroyed, as it is too high for the player to be able to use the Spin Dash.
Powers and abilities[]
The Gabubus are capable of a powerful bite, and can also jump out of the water out of their enemies' reach.
Trivia[]
- Its behavior is similar to that of the Chopper and Masher.
- The Gabubu's name is derived from gabugabu, meaning "guzzling."
