WiseBug

"Why, hello there!"

- WiseBug

Wisebug is a flying ant character created by WiseBug14 who is set as the main antagonist for the mod Vs. WiseBug, submitted by IsabelleTheStoopYT, who is one of the composers for the mod, the programmer, and the old charter. As of now, WiseBug has a total of 3 songs available, those being Elytron, Granite, and Bedrock, and is set to have two more songs called Underground, and Mecopteran.

Appearance
WiseBug's 1st phase appears to be a green flying insect consisting of black compound eyes with 2 antennas, 2 sets of wings, a segmented torso, and a pair segmented legs with pointy feet. There is also a magenta colored arrow on the top of his forehead. WiseBug uses his right antenna to hold his mic, as seen in his note sprites.

In his (current) 2nd phase, he is a lime-colored cocoon, appearing to be half as large compared to his 1st phase with his eyes shut. He maintains his magenta arrow on the top of his forehead where it normally is, except it's slightly more wider, and fleshed out of color. His design is subject to change in the next update.

HulkBug is the 3rd, and currently unreleased phase for WiseBug. He appears to be a more detailed version of WiseBug's 1st form possessing a few extras, while also being half as large compared to his 1st phase. He earns 3 extra eyes at the top of his 2 main ones (which are slightly more narrow then usual.) His antennas are replaced by what appears to be more stylistic wings. At the bottom part of his face seems to be painted red, with mandibles replacing his mouth. He gains a more detailed segmented torso, with a yellow abdominal segment at the bottom with legs following downward. All of his limbs are also segmented, including his hands being replaced with large scythes. Finally, his magenta arrow on the top of his forehead splits into 2.

Trivia

 * The song Bedrock shares the same track name of Cheeky's Bedrock and Alfac's Pibby song Bedrock.
 * WiseBug14 formally states that WiseBug is not based off of any Pokémon. Despite, there is conflicting concept art that says otherwise
 * As seen in the reference, WiseBug is shown having a different set of wings that bares a strong resemblance to Scyther's arms, a Pokemon introduced in generation 1.
 * WiseBug's favorite things are cheese, and internet memes.
 * The Gamebanana banner features a sign labeled BEWARE ANTS with an image of WiseBug's face between the 2 words.
 * This is a reference to the sign from Shrek containing the same characteristics except with an intimidating ogre face instead of an ant face intended to discourage visitors coming close to his territory.
 * An elytron is a modified forewing for the beetle (coleopteran in Latin) that serves as protective wing cases for the hindwings shown underneath.
 * To fly, a beetle would typically open their elytra and then extend the hindwings, thus being able to fly while still hold their elytra in an open state.
 * Mecopteran is an order of insects in the superorder "Endopterygota" with about 600 species and 9 families known worldwide.
 * They are also given a common name known as "Scorpionflies".
 * A stalactite is a rock structure formed on the ceilings of caves as water drips downward, leaving behind minerals before it falls.
 * Various memes are referenced everywhere in the mod, below are all of the known examples.
 * UwU nuzzles, bulgy wulgy, intro text based on a very explicit parody copypasta meant to mock furries, and general online roleplay, found in the intro text.
 * muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda, mudaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, is the stand cry yelled out by Giorno's Gold Experience. Stands in the Jojo franchise are spiritual manifestations of psychic power, found in the intro text.
 * sussy--baka, a combination of the slang term sus used by fans of the game Among Us to point out someone else's suspicion and likelihood of being the/an imposter along with the Japanese word for fool, baka, found in the intro text.
 * Sadness--combat, a manifestation of the crying SpongeBob meme and a Madness Combat Grunt, found in the intro text.
 * Juan, a photo depicting a horse standing on a balcony, accompanied with the caption "juan." The Memetic watermark is also referenced. Both found in the bottom left just where the original watermark is placed during the Bedrock cutscene.
 * Ah shit, here we go again, a famous quote by Carl Johnson. Referenced very briefly during the Bedrock cutscene
 * A loud version of the Samsung notification sound. Also used very briefly during said cutscene.
 * Loud Nigra, a name given to an audio clip about a fake porn actor by the name of OG Mudbone screaming whilst having an orgasm. Also used when Boyfriend is screaming during the same cutscene.
 * The heavy use of these memes may be proven by WiseBug's interest in internet culture.
 * The mod is expected to be updated in the future, adding at least 2 - 3 more songs as of now, another phase, and a new playable character.
 * The character use to replace Daddy Dearest.
 * This can be traced by WiseBug's earlier concept spritesheets before hiring a new artist.
 * The Gettin' Freaky remix heard in the main menu uses the quote "this is what you need" which originates form a Sonic track sharing the same name.
 * An earlier joke concept for WiseBug's third phase exists who share very similar characteristics such as a red mandibles at the bottom
