Loblobi Dupes Loblobis get along well with other river creatures who regularly flatter them and don't mind being the victims of the loblobi's inventive pranks. Since other loblobis rarely put up with this treatment, they don't often gather in groups. Loblobis particularly like to have companion creatures they find ugly, as they think it makes them look all the more regal by comparison. The one curious exception are gremlins; though loblobis hate gremlins' appearance, they don't want anything to do with gremlins, who they viciously drive away from their rivers and shores.
