- Were you looking for Gobbol?
Description
Personality
Gobba is probably the most energetic member of the Fang Gang. He gets excited easily, always moving at a restless pace and he also gets distracted rather easily. He loves to have fun and always does his best to have a good time, even if it is at the most inopportune or unsafe moments. He often acts before he thinks, and the consequences end up catching up with him in the end. He also mixes with other Mixels for fun rather than defeating Nixels or to help with a very dangerous situation.
Physical Appearance
Gobba is mostly brown in appearance. He has a rounded head with two small eyes that are close together. He has two prominent dark brown lips with large rows of fangs. On top of his head are two dark brown cat-like ears. His body is rectangular. He has long light grey arms with darker grey hands and two dark brown fingers on each hand. He has two very short brown legs with long dark brown feet with lighter brown bottoms. He has a long whip-like tongue inside his mouth.

Biography
Early life
Little is known about Gobba's early life.
First adventures
At a party, he managed to get kidnapped by the Nixels, and had to be rescued to help rescue the other Mixels. ("Calling All Mixels")
He took part in a diving contest and Mixed with Tentro to blow away the Nixel judges. ("Gobba & Tentro Mix!")
While he was making totems, he heard Shuff and Volectro's screams for help. With the help of Flurr, he managed to give them a safe landing from plummeting off of a cliff. When Nixels started to swarm, he Mixed with Flurr to distract them. ("Wrong Colors")
When he had a Muck to spend, he debated over spending it at Vulk and Slumbo's Bar-B-Cubes stand or Volectro and Krader's Rock Pops stand. As the two teams competed for his business, they loaded him with free samples. In the end, he chose neither of the stands to buy from, as he was stuffed from the free samples. ("Bar-B-Cubes")
He and Kraw performed together in a talent competition, creating tons of Mixes with various talents. However, they were voted negative by all three judges. ("Vaudeville Fun")
He was an invitee to Balk's birthday party. ("Elevator")
Despite not being the leader of his tribe, he went as the representative of the Fang Gang to get more Hamlogna Sandwiches for the annual Mix Festival, which ended up saving him from being nixed by the Mega Nixel Mixel Nixer. This also forced him to have to go to Mixel Mountain to get Rainbow Cubits. He was the only one to have a Cubit on his person, but wasted it with Kraw to entertain themselves. He Mixed with Flain to defeat a Nixel swarm and bring color back to the festival. When they arrived back, he critiqued Major Nixel's cupcakes, saying that what was missing was "his face". ("Epic Comedy Adventure")
Further adventures
Gobba was one of many Mixels who were forced to outrun the Nixelstorm and help shut it down. ("Mixels Rush")
Gobba was one of almost all of the Mixels who searched and fought for the Mixamajig, and then captured by King Nixel. He Maxed with his branch of the Fang Gang in order to defeat him, and Mixopolis was revealed by the Weldos soon after. ("A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig")

Trivia
- He is the first two-legged Mixel to not have joints for his legs.
- He can create totem monsters from logs, and also various wooden items by eating off parts of the log. Strangely, the objects are already colored in and detailed as soon as he's finished.
- Bar B Cubes is the first episode where Gobba actually speaks.
- He was the only member of his tribe not to appear in Fang Gang Log Toss.
- When he chews, his head moves fast enough that it looks like he has multiple heads. The same case happens with Jawg.
- It is shown in Epic Comedy Adventure that he is enthusiastic about using Cubits.
- He is the only Fang Gang member that was referred to by name in the cartoon.
- He surprisingly has the ability to physically taste feelings. The only known taste is sadness, as he states that it tastes salty. The reason for this is because tears taste salty, which explains why sadness is salty. However, it also connects to the real world neurotypical ability Synesthesia, which causes people to have different sense reactions to common things, such as the ability to find taste in a word or an emotion, much like Gobba.
- Despite the fact that his tongue is supposed to be "whip-like", most of the time it is shown at a relatively regular length and thickness, only being shown "whip-like" in dynamic artwork.
- His name is similar to Gobbol.
- He was the first member of his tribe to debut in the cartoon.
