Despite Bugsnax’s friendly past with the team, xe was overwhelmed by xyr transformation and had difficulty relating to xyr teammates. Xe was no longer able to reenter the pot where xe had grown up and was distraught by this, as well as by the death of Matheo Carpenter, who had raised xem.

Xe eventually found solace with the Baltimore Crabs, especially Pedro Davids, whose studies of carcinization and bodily transformation made him a good confidant for Bugsnax. His friendship proved essential in helping Bugsnax adjust.

In his attempts to find Bugsnax a hobby, Davids gave xem a camera as a gift. Bugsnax became an avid hobbyist photographer specializing in architectural photography. Xe occasionally takes promotional photos of businesses run by other blaseball players, such as Eizabeth Guerra’s bakery and Margaritoville. In lieu of payment, xe asks for food.

Bugsnax is autistic and, being a flytrap, has little knowledge of or regard for conversational norms. Xe has an array of stim toys, including a special exercise ball inside Margaritoville that xe sits and bounces on instead of using a chair. After stealing the Chorby’s Soul, Bugsnax went on the record as saying xe thought it was a stim toy. When asked if xe normally stole stim toys, xe refused to comment.

Bugsnax is close with Margarito Nava, and occasionally helps with the onboarding and training of new recruits. This role led to xem being the first to befriend B.D. Rolsenthal when vi joined the team. Bugsnax and Rolsenthal’s relationship has been subject to no small amount of media speculation, ranging from a secret marriage to queerplatonic partners to a normal pair of roommates; both of them refuse to comment. Bugsnax is also still close with Pedro Davids.
