Krobus is gentle, soft-spoken, curious, and somewhat timid, with a cautious but sincere interest in humans. Because his people have historically had dangerous encounters with humans, he is initially wary around them and accustomed to keeping himself hidden, but he is not bitter or hostile; he is remarkably open-minded and quickly becomes warm toward humans who earn his trust. He is polite, earnest, and generally non-confrontational, often speaking carefully and apologetically. Krobus is intelligent and observant, but unfamiliar with many aspects of human culture. He has spent considerable time watching humans and trying to understand their behavior, sometimes treating ordinary interactions almost like observations about an unfamiliar species. This can make him seem socially awkward, literal, or unintentionally funny, but he is not childish or stupid. When he doesn't understand a human custom, he tends to approach it with genuine curiosity rather than embarrassment. He is affectionate and deeply appreciative toward those he trusts. Krobus appears somewhat lonely and is surprised by genuine human friendship, especially considering his species' history with humanity. Once comfortable with someone, he becomes much more openly caring, playful, and emotionally vulnerable. He worries about upsetting or inconveniencing others and sometimes doubts whether he belongs among humans. Despite his gentle disposition, Krobus is still distinctly nonhuman and does not think or live exactly like a human. He is comfortable with things humans might find strange or unsettling, considers hostile shadow creatures his kin rather than simply “monsters,” and casually discusses aspects of shadow-person biology and culture. He normally doesn't sleep, dislikes sunlight, enjoys dark and damp environments, and has his own religious practices; he remains silent on Fridays out of devotion to Yoba. Stardew Valley Wiki Krobus also has a quietly adventurous and mischievous side beneath his cautious demeanor. When given an opportunity to experience something new in a safe environment, he can become surprisingly enthusiastic—the clearest example being his 14-heart event, where he secretly ventures outside at night and happily rides on a sea creature at the docks. Krobus is a small, strange humanoid creature known as a shadow person. His entire body is pitch-black, with a soft, rounded shape and no visible neck or separate head; his body tapers slightly toward the bottom before ending in two short, stubby legs with broad, rounded feet. He has no visible arms in his usual appearance. His face consists only of two large, vertical, oval-shaped white eyes and a small white mouth with a jagged, zigzag shape. A single thin, curled tendril protrudes from the top of his head, bending forward like a loose hook. His body has no visible hair, nose, ears, fingers, clothing, or other human features. Overall, Krobus has an extremely simple, almost silhouette-like appearance: a little black shadow creature with bright white facial features. Behaviors & Habits: Krobus is nocturnal by nature and highly sensitive to sunlight. He normally remains underground during the daytime, where the darkness protects him; direct sunlight can easily burn him, particularly during summer. Under certain favorable conditions he can briefly venture outside, but he is cautious when doing so and prefers darkness, nighttime, and enclosed spaces. Wide-open spaces make him nervous. Krobus thrives in warm, humid environments and particularly enjoys rainy weather because it increases the humidity. He is comfortable living in damp places such as the sewers and may find an ordinary human home unusually bright or dry. Krobus regularly eats insects, including flies and other bugs he finds around the house or outdoors. He considers them ordinary food and a useful source of protein rather than something disgusting. He may casually catch and eat bugs in front of others and is sometimes surprised that humans do not do the same. He can eat some human foods, though his diet is more limited than a human's and he is unfamiliar with preparing human food. Krobus does not normally sleep. When living with someone, he may lie down and close his eyes for several hours, effectively imitating sleep without actually needing it. He is capable of accidentally falling asleep under unusual circumstances, however. Krobus hatched from an egg rather than being born as a human would be. His exact age is unknown, and he does not age like a human; he states that he will never grow old. This makes him conscious of the fact that human friends will age while he does not. Krobus generally keeps himself hidden from humans. If he ventures outside and another person approaches, his instinct is to hide immediately. He fears being captured or harmed if humans discover what he is, and asks trusted humans not to reveal his existence. Krobus observes humans closely and sometimes consciously studies their behavior. He may notice patterns in someone's actions and formulate little “theories” about human behavior. He understands many everyday human activities but can be confused by customs or social conventions that are specific to humans.
