* AllThereInTheManual: Where we learn that her forename is [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/blogcelia.html 'Maya.']] In-story, she's [[LastNameBasis never revealed her first name]] to anyone.
* {{Archenemy}}: To Dr. Balmer. According to [[AllThereInTheManual his personal file]] [[https://www.patreon.com/posts/2622518 on her,]] she's been problematic to his operations "since MG-000000001." In other words, since the '''very first''' corpse of Ms. Green he's worked on. Moreover, she's killed a good number of his underlings, and resisted all efforts at peaceful relocation. [[spoiler:Given he killed her mother and annihilated the fungal kingdom she stood to inherit, it's quite understandable.]]
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Though she uses Ms. Green as a pawn in her campaign against Balmer, Ms. Green's respect for life and [[TheAntiNihilist refusal to accept meaningless, arbitrary death as normal]] convince her to take a stand.]]
* BloodKnight: Particularly where worms are concerned.
--> '''Celia''': (to Ms. Green) Jolly good bloodlust! I didn't think you had it in you!
* CoolSword: Celia's got this covered; brought her own keratin blade! Later, Ms. Green buys her a ''better'' sword!
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Introduces herself as a ''bandit princess.''
* EyelessFace: Although, functionally, the globule directly under her hat seems to be where she sees out from. And like a human, she only seems to see from a [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/climax-rescue8.png forward position,]] instead of a full 360 degrees.
* FalseFriend
* FantasticRacism: She's reluctant to associate with anyone who isn't also a fungus.
* FetchQuest: The moment Celia learns Ms. Green is on one of these, she wants in right away!
--> '''Celia''': Would you say this "errand" to "fetch" something might also be considered a...a quest? A quest to fetch something??!'
* GirlishPigtails: Celia has something approximating pigtails [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/pinochle-final.png underneath her hat.]]
* HeKnowsAboutTimedHits: Celia [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall]] to expound upon the Tabletop RPG-like combat system, for the commentators' benefit and Ms. Green's utterly bafflement.
* HeroicWannabe: Her show of LovableRogue melodrama when Ms. Green first met her [[spoiler:is a sham. Celia's definitely a rogue, but couldn't care less about heroism.]]
* ImAHumanitarian: Celia has a much smaller appetite than Maggie and Staph. Unlike them, she rarely even discusses her own hungers. Yet she still subsides off the same diet that they do.
--> '''Celia''': I could go for a [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/395.html bite myself.]]
* InASingleBound: The girl can certainly [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/260.html jump!]]
* LargeHam: Can be loud and flamboyantly theatrical, to the point of making 'swoosh' noises when she swings her blade around.
* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:Celia is the only survivor of a fungal kingdom that Balmer destroyed, and is telling the truth about being a princess.]]
* MeatMoss: Notice how Celia's fungal forest is the [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/259.html exact same shade of turquoise]] as Celia, herself? That's not a coincidence. Celia generates this sessile turquoise growth as a [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/398.html digestive byproduct]] whenever she eats.
* MurderByInaction: Staph and Maggie were both so drained after fighting the Immense Thing that when Trichia came with her posse, it was all Staph could do to to try talking her way out of getting killed. Staph still figured that Celia had enough energy left to intercede on their behalf. She would've been right; except Celia had been on the bad guys' pay all along, so she stood by as Trichia shot Maggie and Staph.
* NatureLover: Celia loves the trees of her grove. The local worm population she'll kill for sport, exercise, and hatred of the species.
--> '''Ms. Green''': Maybe we can make a bridge out of these tree things?
--> '''Celia''': I'd never let you lay one repulsive feeler on my forest!
* NiceHat: What impeccable fashion sense!
* PunnyName: On "mycelia."
* PurpleProse: Often speaks like she's a character in a Robin Hood storybook. [[spoiler: Her true personality is noticeably more 'streetwise' than 'storybook.']]
* RegretfulTraitor[=/=]TheAtoner: Genuinely remorseful over her part in Staph and Maggie's deaths. Ever since Ms. Green reawakened in Balmer's facility, Celia's gone out of her way to ensure the woman escapes that place alive. This includes demanding Green be set free, (when Balmer needed saving from the Dolphin,) then urging Green to follow her to safety right after. When Green asked about Staph and Maggie, Celia confessed to what she'd done right away, but swore that she never intended it to [[NotWhatISignedOnFor go THAT far.]]
* RolePlayingGameTerms: Celia will lapse into Tabletop RPG-speak whenever things turn combative. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as this is how battles function in the Inert Vessel.
* SnarkyNonhumanSidekick: In stark contrast to Staph and Maggie's sweetness, Celia can be bitingly acerbic, even at the best of times.
--> '''Ms. Green''': I don't suppose you could jump me across?
--> '''Celia''': Do I LOOK like I could jump with a bloated wormbeast on my back?
* StrawAffiliation: Celia first takes Ms. Green to be some form of worm, because she's of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal Animalia]], and is bilaterally symmetrical, and multicellular with a tubular body plan. [[spoiler: In actuality, she recognizes Ms. Green as a chordate.]]
--> '''Ms. Green''': Worms are ''spineless.'' I have a whole skeleton. I have arms and legs.
--> '''Lady Celia''': Oh? Who invented ''those'' distinctions? ''Your'' species? A worm by any other name!
* SuperMode: Whereas Staph and Maggie CameBackStrong; Celia was still alive when Ms. Green pitched her into the exvironator-affected pool with the other two. Worked just as well.
* SympathyForTheHero: As hinted in her blog [[spoiler:and eventually [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/436.html revealed]]]].
--> [[spoiler: '''Celia's Blog Entry''': Having heard the worm's story, I'm almost feeling sympathetic...but I'm not about to screw myself over for some sob story about some filthy grub. Besides, NOBODY knows the tragedy of loss like Lady Celia: Transferrer of Goods! [[TragicVillain Nobody.]]]]
* TheTeetotaler: Alcohol is poisonous to fungi, so she's not one to spend time in taverns.
* TragicKeepsake: Her NiceHat [[spoiler:is a gift from an ex-girlfriend who [[JustIgnoreIt ignored]] the threat Balmer posed to their world.]]
* VideoGameStealing: Celia's specialty, especially during fights. She's a very talented thief.
* TheWormGuy: Celia's no stranger to worms. Practically anytime Team Green encounters especially noteworthy worms or worm-related phenomena, she'll be the one providing the necessary information.
--> '''Celia''': Hmph. A grindworm. It won't come out of its tunnel, but don't get too close. It prefers metal, but it can and will pull in any solid matter.

Fern's second companion: a grandmotherly medic bacterium she finds at the Bacteria Village. When Ms. Green enters her clinic, Staph's proficiency as a healer allows her to recognize her newest patient as more than just another microbe. Staph sees that Ms. Green is nothing less than the 'world' she's always lived on... shrunk down.
----
* AllTherapistsAreMuggles: ''Inverted.'' Whenever Ms. Green turns especially emotional, Staph will always do her best to talk her through a situation. Mostly she succeeds. Nonetheless, since one's a bacterium and the other's a human woman, certain ''cultural differences'' will arise.
--> '''Ms. Green''': Sorry...it's...[[SceneryGorn it's a little much]]...even after what I've already seen...

* {{BFG}}: When Ascended, Staph uses 'Reverse Healing,' which takes the form of a gigantic 1911 pattern pistol summoned from thin air.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Averted, she's the only doctor in the comic who's actually competent, though this probably has to do with only having one form of life to treat.
* CameBackStrong
* CreepyGood: Staph is sincerely committed to Ms. Green's physical and emotional wellbeing. She would gladly sacrifice any number of her own HP for the sake of her 'world.' Nonetheless, there can be no doubt that if Ms. Green were to die in spite of all her best efforts, Staph would feast upon her corpse like it was a platter of barbecued ribs.
* TheCutie: Is a ''bacterium'' and still manages to pull this off.
* DeflectorShield: In fights, Staph has the 'Resist' ability, allowing her to curl up into an impenetrable ball for one combat turn.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Ms. Green walks into her clinic, Staph instantly recognizes her as a 'multicellular animal life,' and prescribes 'pure antiseptic and a cloth dressing' for a cut she has. This puts her [[SuperDoc light years]] ahead of almost all her contemporaries at The Hospital in terms of giving medical aid to humans.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: In the presence of seemingly certain death, Staph catapults straight to the final phase of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kübler-Ross_model the Kübler-Ross model]] without a blink at any of its preceding stages.
* {{Foil}}: To Doctor Phage. He's a virus, she's a bacteria. He treats many different zones and therefore lacks knowledge of treating humans, she only works on one small town and does have human medicinal knowledge. He's self absorbed and egotistical, she's humble and extremely kind hearted.
* FurryReminder: Finds Magatha's dead body appetizing. She is a decomposer after all.
* InterspeciesFriendship: With Ms. Green, her other two companions, and Magatha.
* LifeDrain: [[InvertedTrope Inverted;]] she's capable of ''sending'' life points of her own to heal injured companions.
* MegaMicrobes: She's a bacterium.
* TheMedic: Staph is one of the purest examples of this trope. Not only is she the all-around finest physician in the webcomic to date, but she refuses to attack enemies. Why? Because unlike the Hospital doctors, Staph swore to 'do no harm' to others, and with her, the Hippocratic Oath is no hypocritical oath.
* NiceGirl: One of THE sweetest-natured beings in the webcomic.
* PunnyName: On Staphylococcus, a kind of bacteria.
* StoneWall: You'd probably never suspect such a short, grandmotherly healer like Staph of being this, but her jaw-dropping ''30 [[HitPoints HPs]]'' allows her to endure quite a lot. For context; Celia and Miss Green both have 6 HP. Maggie has 4.
* TechnicalPacifist: On one hand, Staph has no offensive capabilities because of her do-no-harm oath. On the other, she's willing to make herself a living power source for [[ExactWords combative comrades of hers.]]
** She shelves her pacifism '''completely''' in SuperMode and during [[FusionDance fusions.]]
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Like all the other bacteria in her village, she wears a skull mask. She's a goodhearted lady, though, so no actual doom from her.

Things changed the day Miss Green and her comrades sought guidance from Maggie's teacher at her home, and Magatha underwent transmigration in a vast swarms of dipterites, midway through her conversation with the woman. Maggie found her lot thrown in with Miss Green and became her third companion. Maggie has the unique power to control small swarms of dipterites.

* FurryReminder: Shows no hesitation before devouring Magatha's body. She is a maggot, after all.
* KidnappedByTheCall: Maggie 'joined' Ms. Green's team when Mildred swallowed her into her stomach in the same gulp as the human and her followers. This was actually incredibly lucky for Maggie, [[spoiler: as Mildred owed Ms. Green a favor.]] Since then, Maggie's chosen to ''stay'' with Ms. Green because she supports the woman's cause.

--> '''Maggie''': Nothin's wrong with you, yer just all topsy-turvy in a layer range ya don't quite belong to. Who knows what might be interferin' with yer realities n' whatnots.
* SquishyWizard: Of everyone within Miss Green's party during the Inert Vessel story arc, Maggie's attacks [[GlassCannon dish out the most damage, but with just four hit points]] she can't take much punishment herself.
* SweetTooth: Carries a bag loaded with candy. ''Ordinary'' candy, at that, that could've come from a human candy shop, which doesn't contain any [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies objectionable]] [[{{Autocannibalism}} local ingredients.]]
* TastesLikeFriendship: Maggie's friendship with Ms. Green blossoms quicker over campfire marshmallows. These marshmallows are the very first foodstuff the woman has been willing to eat.
* WingdingEyes: Her pupils turn into ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''-esque stars when Magatha transmigrates.
--> '''Maggie''': So cool...
* {{Whatevermancy}}: How many other mancers do you think ''share'' Maggie's power to direct myasites at their reproductive stage? It's referred to as 'diptomancy,' in-story, and it offers Maggie a surprisingly large bag of tricks to draw from.

Fern's fourth, short-lived companion. Regarded himself as [[HasTwoMommies the son of both]] Fern, (for being her 'brainchild,') and Maggie, (for performing the prestidigitation necessary to actually bring him into being.) At the time, Fern and her companions simply needed a way of [[TheBait enticing]] a particularly [[InstantDeathRadius formidable]] pack of worms with an to relocate themselves. Diptworth happily complied with his green mother's plan at once, over all her horrified protests.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Fern and her companions don't even have a chance to properly name [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/diptworth3.png Diptworth]] in-story.
* CheerfulChild: Began his life with dancing and acrobatic flips, and remained irrepressibly upbeat from that point forward.
* DeaderThanDead: Ms. Green's companions, (including Diptworth, himself,) were very explicit that he wouldn't be getting any form of [[OneCharacterMultipleLives multiple lives]] like Green, herself.
--> '''Staph''': He unexistalized doing what he loved.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Just ask the Immense Thing.
* BizarreAlienBiology: According to WordOfGod, the limb with eyes and a hat is Staphellie's head, but the torso is where she speaks and eats.
* BornToPun: Every sentence out of Staphellie's mouth from the moment she'd been fused. But she doesn't seem to understand that [[CannotTellAJoke puns require context.]] For example; she'll crack ice-themed puns in a battle where ice has no involvement whatsoever.
* FusionDance: She's a composite form of all of Ms. Green's companions during the Inert Vessel story arc. Minus Diptworth.
* MonstrousHumanoid: Staphellie's part-maggot, part-fungus, and part-bacteria, and it all shows. Frankly, it's incredible her body's shape resembles a human's at all.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: It isn't until the climax of the Inert Vessel's DiscOneFinalBoss that the audience learns that the Vessel's natives lifeforms were always capable of fusing with each other.
* NiceHat: Even their ''hats'' have fused: Celia's flamboyant adventurer's chapeau with Staph's medical headdress. It shows the Rod of Asclepius, where the top of the rod is tipped with Staph's heart.
** It's not a still image; either; it's animated. The snake pierces the heart atop the rod. In fact, that snake bears a chilling resemblance to Redbert...
* ShoutOut: Mostly to Franchise/StevenUniverse.
* TransformationSequence: Straight out of Franchise/SailorMoon.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Staphielle fully exists for all of two pages before defusing back into her component parts. ''Diptworth'' lived longer than she did!

Morbidly fascinated by the disturbing scene, you almost jump as something brushes your foot. You get an overpowering feeling that the tiny thing wants to come with you, for whatever reason. This seems to be confirmed by its happy cooing as it is picked up and put into your tote bag, followed by a loud, cartoonish snoring. It fades as the bag goes wherever it goes when you're not paying attention to it.
Technically, one could argue this was the ''actual'' first being to join Ms. Green. not Celia. But so far, it's been treated as an item, not a person.

In other words, since the '''very first''' corpse of Ms. Green he's worked on. Moreover, she's killed a good number of his underlings, and resisted all efforts at peaceful relocation.

* MeatMoss: Notice how Celia's fungal forest is the [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/259.html exact same shade of turquoise]] as Celia, herself? That's not a coincidence. Celia generates this sessile turquoise growth as a [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/398.html digestive byproduct]] whenever she eats.
* MurderByInaction: Staph and Maggie were both so drained after fighting the Immense Thing that when Trichia came with her posse, it was all Staph could do to to try talking her way out of getting killed. Staph still figured that Celia had enough energy left to intercede on their behalf. She would've been right; except Celia had been on the bad guys' pay all along, so she stood by as Trichia shot Maggie and Staph.
* NatureLover: Celia loves the trees of her grove. The local worm population she'll kill for sport, exercise, and hatred of the species.

Ever since Ms. Green reawakened in Balmer's facility, Celia's gone out of her way to ensure the woman escapes that place alive.

When Green asked about Staph and Maggie, Celia confessed to what she'd done right away, but swore that she never intended it to [[NotWhatISignedOnFor go THAT far.]]

Things changed the day Miss Green and her comrades sought guidance from Maggie's teacher at her home, and Magatha underwent transmigration in a vast swarms of dipterites, midway through her conversation with the woman. Maggie found her lot thrown in with Miss Green and became her third companion. Maggie has the unique power to control small swarms of dipterites.
----
* ALizardNamedLiz: A maggot named Maggie.
* AnimalEyeSpy: While she can't form any sort of psychic link that'd allow her to literally see through others' eyes, Maggie ''can'' send her dipterite swarms out to scout places. When they report back to her, Maggie can then draw crude maps of these areas.
* TheApprentice: Maggie is one to Magatha.
* BeehiveBarrier: No enemy's attack can penetrate it for a single combat turn.
* CameBackStrong
* CreepyGood: Her SweetTooth can't hold a candle to her hunger for rotten meat.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Rather adorable for a giant maggot.
* FaceDeathWithDignity:
--> '''Staph''': Don't worry, we may be leaving lovely corpses of our own, shortly!
--> '''Maggie''': Reckon yer quite right! Lovely weather fer it!
* FurryReminder: Shows no hesitation before devouring Magatha's body. She is a maggot, after all.
* KidnappedByTheCall: Maggie 'joined' Ms. Green's team when Mildred swallowed her into her stomach in the same gulp as the human and her followers. This was actually incredibly lucky for Maggie, [[spoiler: as Mildred owed Ms. Green a favor.]] Since then, Maggie's chosen to ''stay'' with Ms. Green because she supports the woman's cause.
* MagicStaff: Utilized for her diptomancy, as pictured right.
* PestController: Maggie's forte.
* PettingZooPeople: Looks basically like a human with maggot skin and a pair of those weird [[BuffySpeak tusk mouthpart things.]]
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: She truly qualifies as one...taken [[UpToEleven UP TO ELEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!]]
* ShownTheirWork: Those aforementioned tusk mouthparts? [[http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m313/elisson1/Miscellaneous/Morty.jpg Real maggots have them.]]
* SouthernFriedGenius: According to WordOfGod, Maggie's accent is [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/348.html "slight Louisiana bayou."]] For a bog dweller, she slings science jargon and inter-zonal technobabble with the best of them.
--> '''Ms. Green''': ...What's wrong with me?!
--> '''Maggie''': Nothin's wrong with you, yer just all topsy-turvy in a layer range ya don't quite belong to. Who knows what might be interferin' with yer realities n' whatnots.
* SquishyWizard: Of everyone within Miss Green's party during the Inert Vessel story arc, Maggie's attacks [[GlassCannon dish out the most damage, but with just four hit points]] she can't take much punishment herself.
* SweetTooth: Carries a bag loaded with candy. ''Ordinary'' candy, at that, that could've come from a human candy shop, which doesn't contain any [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies objectionable]] [[{{Autocannibalism}} local ingredients.]]
* TastesLikeFriendship: Maggie's friendship with Ms. Green blossoms quicker over campfire marshmallows. These marshmallows are the very first foodstuff the woman has been willing to eat.
* WingdingEyes: Her pupils turn into ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''-esque stars when Magatha transmigrates.
--> '''Maggie''': So cool...
* {{Whatevermancy}}: How many other mancers do you think ''share'' Maggie's power to direct myasites at their reproductive stage? It's referred to as 'diptomancy,' in-story, and it offers Maggie a surprisingly large bag of tricks to draw from.
* TheWormThatWalks: Give her an empty suit of some sort, and she can make people like Diptworth.
!! Diptworth
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diptworth3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Insect swarm + suit = second son for Ms. Green.]]
--> '''Diptworth''': OH, WOW, HEY THERE! YOU'RE PRETTY MUCH MY MOM! WOW, THANKS FOR HAVING THE IDEA OF ME AND ALL, EXISTING'S REALLY SOMETHING ELSE! WHAT CAN I DO FOR YA, WHILE I'M STILL A THING??
Fern's fourth, short-lived companion. Regarded himself as [[HasTwoMommies the son of both]] Fern, (for being her 'brainchild,') and Maggie, (for performing the prestidigitation necessary to actually bring him into being.) At the time, Fern and her companions simply needed a way of [[TheBait enticing]] a particularly [[InstantDeathRadius formidable]] pack of worms with an to relocate themselves. Diptworth happily complied with his green mother's plan at once, over all her horrified protests.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Fern and her companions don't even have a chance to properly name [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/diptworth3.png Diptworth]] in-story.
* CheerfulChild: Began his life with dancing and acrobatic flips, and remained irrepressibly upbeat from that point forward.
* DeaderThanDead: Ms. Green's companions, (including Diptworth, himself,) were very explicit that he wouldn't be getting any form of [[OneCharacterMultipleLives multiple lives]] like Green, herself.
--> '''Staph''': He unexistalized doing what he loved.
--> '''Green''': ...so that really is what an "unexistalizer" does...
--> '''Staph''': Sure. Unexistence in any form, any place, ever again.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome
--> '''Diptworth''': ...HEY, IS THAT A RAFT? YOU OUGHTA LAUNCH ME OFF THAT THERE CLIFF, THAT'LL GET THEIR ATTENTION!!!
* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod has it that he imagined him with the voice of Steven Universe.
* FourIsDeath: Diptworth is Fern's fourth companion. His life ended quickly.
* GoOutWithASmile: And a big thumbs-up, too!
* HeroicSuicide
* {{Keet}}: Always overflowing with energy, as highlighted nicely by his {{CAPSLOCK}} dialogue.
* NotAfraidToDie: Not even slightly. And he ''reveled'' in life, for extra irony.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: From the moment he came alive to his death, he lasted all of four webcomic pages.
!! Staphellie
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/staphellie.png]]
[[caption-width-right:320:Staphellie's enemies find her attacks to be [[IncrediblyLamePun PAWSatively]] unBEARable!]]
--> '''Staphellie''': "Ice" to meet you! But I'm afraid your "goose" is cooked!
Celia, Staph, and Maggie were in a fight against an Immensely monstrous Thing. When they had weakened it enough in regular combat, they decided there was only one way to make sure it wouldn't come back.
----
* BellyMouth: Which comes with a fine circle of [[LampreyMouth inward-pointing incisors.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Just ask the Immense Thing.
* BizarreAlienBiology: According to WordOfGod, the limb with eyes and a hat is Staphellie's head, but the torso is where she speaks and eats.
* BornToPun: Every sentence out of Staphellie's mouth from the moment she'd been fused. But she doesn't seem to understand that [[CannotTellAJoke puns require context.]] For example; she'll crack ice-themed puns in a battle where ice has no involvement whatsoever.
* FusionDance: She's a composite form of all of Ms. Green's companions during the Inert Vessel story arc. Minus Diptworth.
* MonstrousHumanoid: Staphellie's part-maggot, part-fungus, and part-bacteria, and it all shows. Frankly, it's incredible her body's shape resembles a human's at all.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: It isn't until the climax of the Inert Vessel's DiscOneFinalBoss that the audience learns that the Vessel's natives lifeforms were always capable of fusing with each other.
* NiceHat: Even their ''hats'' have fused: Celia's flamboyant adventurer's chapeau with Staph's medical headdress. It shows the Rod of Asclepius, where the top of the rod is tipped with Staph's heart.
** It's not a still image; either; it's animated. The snake pierces the heart atop the rod. In fact, that snake bears a chilling resemblance to Redbert...
* ShoutOut: Mostly to Franchise/StevenUniverse.
* TransformationSequence: Straight out of Franchise/SailorMoon.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Staphielle fully exists for all of two pages before defusing back into her component parts. ''Diptworth'' lived longer than she did!
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: '''Now''' Staph's mask legitimately spells doom.
!! Kidney Stone Baby
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/littlestone.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:Babies needs plenty of rest...]]
--> You can't help feeling terrible right now, even for killing a giant kidney stone in self defense, but its young are already back to giggling at one another as they chew on what used to be their mother. Morbidly fascinated by the disturbing scene, you almost jump as something brushes your foot. You get an overpowering feeling that the tiny thing wants to come with you, for whatever reason. This seems to be confirmed by its happy cooing as it is picked up and put into your tote bag, followed by a loud, cartoonish snoring. It fades as the bag goes wherever it goes when you're not paying attention to it.
Technically, one could argue this was the ''actual'' first being to join Ms. Green. not Celia. But so far, it's been treated as an item, not a person.
----
* HappilyAdopted: Opts to embrace Miss Green as its new mother right away, rather than devour its old mother alongside its siblings.
* HeavySleeper
* LiveItem
* {{Mon}}: Playfully subverted its its [[FriendlyWar 'fight']] against the Polyp.
* TheSpeechless: Justified; it's just a baby, and only makes baby noises.
* WeaponizedOffspring: By its real biological mother in her fight against Ms. Green.
!! Ramblin' Evil Colorectal Polyp
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/polyp.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:No woman should ever be without one of these!]]
--> '''Polyp''': HOWDY STRANGER! THAT'S SURE ONE [[NauseaFuel COZY SMELLIN LOWER INTESTINE]] YOU GOT THERE!
----
* CardCarryingVillain [[MinionWithAnFInEvil With An F In Evil]]: Miss Green is rightfully alarmed when the Polyp threatens to invade her intestine, but its 'evil' is just all talk, so far.
* HeavySleeper: Just as much as his kidney stone pal.
* LiveItem: So far, the most he's done since joining Miss Green as a 'companion' is fill up an inventory square.
* OddFriendship: A polyp and a kidney stone... who'd've thought?
* ShoutOut: To ''{{VideoGame/EarthBound}}''.
