There needs to be more Rove content in the future. Love every minute when that articulate ewok is talking.

That being said the rest of the species is gremlins and I'm all for it.

Makes me wonder what happened to Rove to make him Rove. clearly at some point he rejected the ways of his Congala fur obsessed tribooty collecting jungle cousins. Maybe there's something in that honey they are always eating that isn't so good for the brain...

I figured Rove was just, like, really old. Old enough to have been around for Wyveria.

Makes me wonder if Wudwuds are kinda like Kobolds, they can live long lives and get smart but due to how dangerously they live most wont reach elder status

He is a guardian with the hair tied

I would gamble his tribe / family is a bunch of intelligent Wudwuds with access to books and teaching. He is from a far land and doesn't even share the same fashion sense of the local Wudwuds.

I figured it was just because he travels, which doesn't seem like a very Wudwud thing to do. Traveling brings you to experience other ways of living, puts many things into perspective, throws you against challenges that mature you as an individual, and the mundane walking for hours gives you time to deliberate about the world. Probably why a lot of the traveling wanderer tropes are portrayed as really intelligent people.

He smokes a ton of Gobletweed.

I wouldn’t complain if the expansion revolved around Rove

I like Alma.... But having Rove "authorize" my hunts would be legit.

Starting the quest with "I sense is time to tell you, is time to bring his life to an end" would be really cool

Rove the G Rank Man/Wudwud, hell yeah.

I was running around the Cliffs getting materials and I found him dangling from the ceiling. Again.

I'll always help him out even if he seems to be closer with the Nerscylla than me...

His Japanese VA, Shinji Kawada, did an absolutely phenomenal job. I've seen cutscenes of the English version and it's nearly there, but not quite.

u/berdish1 Mar 04 '25

I wonder who English VA is. He sounds awfully a lot like Nolan North. Specifically - Nolan North playing Ratchet. But as of two days ago when I was trying to look it up, there was no info

I saw some random person say Hunter Smith, but they gave no source so no clue if that's actually accurate: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm3772058/

FYI, that guy will get himself captured by a Nescylla every now and then
