Floofty is a dangerously devoted scientist and has proven multiple times to be unpleasant company towards The Journalist who they try to insult and belittle any chance they get. And their need to bully out of a lack of patience extends to most everyone in Snaxburg, who all disagree with Floofty's extreme research methods if it was not just for their attitude towards them. As such, Floofty is without an assistant and is left to test on themself.

The Journalist is requested to fully transform Floofty and is the only character to require such to complete their story. Doing so gives the Trophy "I'm Stuffed".

Volunteers Needed!

Ah, you're here. I have need of your assistance again. Since my last discovery, I've been testing the limits of Bugsnax regeneration. Unfortunately I've done all I can with this one leg. I want to try something rather more advanced. Put simply: I'm going to remove my head.
Come again?		You can't remove your head.
Pardon me, I forgot your limitations. Remove, as in cut off. Head, as in the thinky part. Well, it would be more accurate to say that I'm going to remove my body. And I am reasonably certain that Bugsnax will regrow it in its entirety.
This seems unsafe.		You're out of control!
Indeed. Perhaps I could do something more measured if I had a full team, funding, and a great deal more subjects. But as usual, nobody is volunteering.
I can find more volunteers.
Oh? Very well. You're welcome to try. Speak to the other Grumpuses. See if you can find a volunteer among them.

Volunteers Needed! Floofty needs volunteers to make their experiment less dangerous. I will ask around town to see who is willing to help. Objectives: Ask Grumps to help Floofty. (8/8)

Floofty allows the Journalist to try and get anyone in Snaxburg help with their research. The Journalist assumes that the research would be saver, regardless if Floofty pointed out they will only learn more by doing more dangerous tests. (Un)fortunately, no one bites, either by Floofty's gratuitous need to insult others or by their methods being known and avoided for good reason.

Only a total of 8 Grumpuses need to be asked while a total of 10 are available to be asked. Reaching 8 will mean the last 2 will not be able to asked anymore and is thus dialog missed. Whoever is asked, it will not affect the outcome of this story. Shelda as one of the people who can be asked which does not require one to be back in Snaxburg.

Will you help with Floofty's experiment?
Ummm...I don't think I'd be any help in that department. Floofty said I was about as useful as a beaker without a bottom.
No.
Why, is Floofty looking for someone to Snak on? Loljk but srsly no.
N-no thanks. That Floofty shows up in my nightmares... always watchin' me...
Darling, they once called me a vociferous profligate. I'm terribly insulted though I have NO idea what that even means.
Oh! Well, Floofty's fun to gab with, but their methods are pretty extreme, doncha think?
What are you, kiddin' me, Pal!? I like my organs where they are, thank you very much!
Absolutely not. Whatever scheme my sibling put you up to, it certainly won't end well.
After what they put Eggabell through? No way, Bro.
Speak not of the wicked alchemist!! They who gladly hasten our doom!!

Last Meal!

As expected. My name alone is enough to frighten them off.
Does that bother you?		You deserve it.
Hardly. It's not ME they're truly afraid of. They give in to cowardice and ignorance because they cannot fathom the tremendous good that my research can do. Since I have failed time and again to change their minds, the burden rests on me to complete the work. Perhaps then they will understand its value. As for you, I require enough Bugsnax to fully transform my body. Only the sweetest and most filling will be acceptable.
Why is that?		That seems out of character.
Consider it a personal request. This could be my last meal, after all. Ha ha ha!
What did you need again?
Fully transform my body. Ideally with sweet Bugsnax. That is all.

Last Meal! Floofty wants to be fully transformed in preparation for their final experiment. Objectives: Fully transform Floofty.

Floofty requests sweet and filling snacks, revealing they have a sweet tooth alike their brother, but there is no consequence to the outcome if you do not adhere to their request.

Very good! You're actually being useful. I have a few more preparations to make. The experiment will begin in 24 hours.

Head Games!

Head Games! Floofty needs my help activating their body-removing device. This really seems like a bad idea. Objectives: Load Bugsnax into the funnel! Talk to Floofty.

*24 hours pass, at night time*
I've borrowed one of my brother's patented 'Grumpinati traps' and made some modifications. Once the device is activated, Snax will flow into my open mouth, thus triggering my regeneration.
How do you know this will work?
I don't. That's what the experiment is for!
This is terrifying.
Yes. I surmise that is why I am inside the device and you are not.
I need you to load the funnel at the back and then we can begin.
*Snorpy rushes in and hits the fail switch*
You put a stop to this nonsense right now!
Snorpington. Here to sabotage my career again?
Sabotage!? I'm trying to save your life!
Nonsense. If my hypothesis is correct, I will be perfectly fine and I will have advanced medical knowledge by a century.
And if you're wrong, you'll be headless! Even after everything you've done, I still care about you, Floofty.
Don't try to infect me with your cowardice! What you should 'care' about is my work! That is what is truly important!
YOU are important! Despite your rampaging ego, the world will go on with or without your experiments.
I would think you, at least, would understand. Instead you insist on being a selfish, spineless, slack-jawed baby.
See, this is why nobody wants to help you!
Talk to Floofty
It's pitiful, isn't it? *sighs* I can rearrange fibrous tissue with electrostatic waves...but I cannot convince my own brother to help me. My work should stand for itself... I shouldn't need to put so much effort into explaining myself. But...it DOES take effort. With the others it is simple. I can write them off as ignorant, frightened children. Ugh. But not Snorpy. I know he's not a coward or a fool. Which means that the error is mine. I cannot make myself understood... so I lose patience... and I give up on understanding. And perhaps...that is cowardice on my part.
