Appearance

Bugaboom model

Bugaboom is a huge green Mandibug, with six legs and eyes that have a demented look to them. Unlike most Mandibugs, its body is flat instead of rounded. It will attempt to consume the player with its retractible mandibles, but after attacking it once it will reveal its wings and fly rapidly around his planet and it will drop explosives from the underside of its body. Bugaboom can be best described as a beetle with one solid shell thats green and has a marking of a blast on the middle of the shell. The mandibles look much like a ant's pincher.
