The Buggy Ball, also referred to as Strabball[1] and Stramble[2], is a Field Tool that can enter small spaces and functions as mobile lure.

The Journalist receives it from Gramble in Simmering Springs. It contains Sprout, a Strabby trained by Gramble in a glass ball (reminiscent of a hamster ball). Sprout is trained to follow a laser pointer.

Field Tool[]

The Buggy Ball has a variety of uses. It can be led into small, inaccessible tunnels, chasing out a Peelbug that may be hiding inside. The ball can be covered in any sauce, which can be used to lure Bugsnax over great distances at a low sauce cost. The Trip Shot can even be attached to the ball, allowing the tripwire to be actively moved around.

Something to keep in mind while using the Buggy Ball is that curious crab-like Bugsnax can pick it up and carry it away. While not difficult to retrieve, a Crapple may cause it to land in the water, washing off any sauce. A Noodler or Stewdler will set the ball on fire, though having a controllable fire source can be used to the player's advantage.

Sprout[]

Sprout is the Strabby within the Buggy Ball. It seems to be a "juvenile" Strabby, since it is smaller than others Strabby's, and still somewhat green toward the tip. Sprout is a favorite pet of Gramble as it has been the only Bugsnak Gramble successfully has trained. For its training Gramble has constructed elaborate obstacle courses for it. It remains within a "hamsterball", marked with a pink coat of paint to signify Gramble's ties to it. Gramble entrusts the Journalist with Sprout because he believes it longs for adventure, which he wouldn't be able to provide himself.

Sprout Ending

Sprout's appearance in the ending. Notice the spikes on his ball.

At the end of the game, when Snaxburg is under attack by Bugsnax, the Buggy Ball is one of the tools Snorpy has redesigned for combat. It now has spikes on its exterior, which Gramble is not happy about. This enhanced Buggy Ball is used to defend Gramble and Wiggle from approaching Peelbugs and Crapples. Sprout behaves just as it does normally, and continues to follow the laser pointer, now destroying Bugsnax it comes into contact with.

Sprout is among the only Bugsnax that are not hostile during this time (along with two Kweebles), and it in fact helps the Grumpuses fight off other Bugsnax. It is unknown why this is, or if it is even aware of what is happening. Sprout's fate is ultimately unknown, as it is left in the ruins of Snaxburg when the Grumpuses escape.

However, if all grumpuses survive, then a Strabby is seen exiting the balloon, and this Strabby could be Sprout, though it is not green towards the tip like Sprout is seen normally.
