Phobia Labels

This might seem kinda dumb, but having which phobia each phobie represents written on the card would be cool.

I mean, some are pretty obvious, but others aren’t, so being able to know the inspirations would be very interesting.

That’s an awesome idea. I’ve always looked at phobies, trying to understand which phobia they represent, but couldn’t find some.

This is something that i don’t mind adding to the Wiki, but ofc we’ll need the help of the community to identify each phobia

We could make a thread that people will say which phobie is based on which phobia.

Who wants to start the thread then? lol

I really like this concept, but it feels like the devs started the game with the concept that each phobie is related to a phobia in mind, but now it kind of feels like they forgot about this. Especially when it comes to them just recoloring old Phobies and giving them electric damage, and gag characters like chuck norris and Edgar Allen

some of the original characters were gag characters, alastors based on the ghost from the ring, and we have had new phobies that are based on fears (haphe is based on haphephobia the fear of getting touched)

Just because some characters are gags doesn’t mean they aren’t also based on a phobia. Alastor is obviously the fear of ghosts, but what are characters like electricat supposed to be? Like is it also the fear of cats, and they just gave it electric damage?

But because I like this topic so much, and want to find out what each phobie represents, or could represent since there’s a lot of gag characters I made a list of the first 3 keys worth of Phobies and what they could be. I put a question mark on ones I don’t know what they are. Also, some of these are kind of reaching but it’s not like I’m deeply analyzing every phobie

as another great example of a phobie thats actually a gag reference, flopsy mopsy and cottontail are the names of the 3 sisters of the main character peter rabbit in a famous series of childrens books

For the ?’s muffintop is just a muffin, it whistles the ‘do you know the muffin man’ song, best you can get is fear of muffins.
Cowbells are a thing, so cowbell is the fear of cowbells
Rusty is a bear trap
Slayerrr…. Yeah ive got no clue
Creep again difficult, it spews insects out of its mouth so it might have something to do with that but its weird.
Flopsy and gang are jackalopes, a mythical creature thats a weird mix between a jack rabbit and an antelope
Eternal knight seems based on your stereotypical medieval executioners
Squiggles has got to have something to do with overreating or heart disease as his thing is literally giving you a heart attack.
Bloats an electric eel
Le shovell is a great white shark
Murder wing is a bat
Whiskers id imagine is a rat, considering it can detect things, has whiskers and lives in the sewers.
Creepy devil is a warthog
Thunder rocks…. Yeah got no clue

I did the 4 keys, but feel free to tell me if you think I got any wrong, I probably did tbh.

4 keys

Slammer head - fear of hammerhead sharks

Moley bully - fear of moles

Temptress - fear of snakes again

Ginsting - fear of bees

Sheeping gas - fear of sheep

Clobster - fear of crabs/crustaceans

Poison ivy - fear of poison ivy

Ash - fear of spiders again

Hydra - ?

In-oculus - fear of robots?

Iscream - fear of ice

Dr dermic - fear of doctors

Gonzo - fear of those creepy monkey toys like the one it looks like, or maybe just children’s toys in general

Werewolf - fear of werewolves

Giggles - fear of clowns again

Snappy - fear of turtles

Blinky - fear of eyes

Unbearable - fear of bears

Daisy - ?

Primate #9 - fear of monkeys

Radiheater - fear of steam or heat

Rockus - fear of rocks

Gargles - fear of gargoyles

Furkin leprechauns - fear of leprechauns or maybe fear of being unlucky

Sizzle - fear of snakes again

Grimes - fear of death

Glob - fear of water

Prometheus - fear of fire

Paddles - ?

Honey bear - fear of tardigrades

Sheeping gas probably fits more with the fear of poisonous gas than the fear of sheep.
Moley bully is a fear of moles
Hydra once again a mythical creature
Inoculus is weird, it seems to be a reference to the robots in old alien movies (it and its line were part of the aliens expansion)
Daisy is the bones of a sabre toothed tiger.
Radihater could just be fear of radiators i guess.
Glob is more of a fear of slime than water. Its based on old horror movies with slime creatures that consume everything in their path.
Paddles is a defibrillator so i guess fear of defibrillators?
honeybear is a tardigrade

I thought about saying fear of slime for glob, but I don’t think there’s a thalassophobia phobia, so I kind of wanted it to be that. For radiheater I felt more inclined to think it was heat and not radiators because that seems too weird, but I guess there’s a lot weirder in this game. It’s kind of the same thing for phobies like honey bear, like I’m aware it’s based of a tardigrade, but fear of tardigrade seems too ridiculous, but then again, there’s weirder.

Also why do you think le shovell is fear of great whites? It just seems like it could be fear the same as finnegan, for finnegan I was thinking he was fear of bull sharks because of the bull like horns he has

There were teasers for a great white shark phobie coming out right before his release, and he was the only shark that came out during that release

I half the 5 keys, but this batch was probably my least favorite so far just because there’s so many obscure ones, so I had to reach a little for a few
5 keys

Staremaster- fear of eye contact

Quagmire - fear of swamps

Ray chargels - fear of sting rays

Wolly bully - I would say fear of Bigfoot, but there’s a phobie that’s literally named Sasquatch. So I’m kinda stumped

Ms moffat - fear of spiders again

Noxious - ?

Sir probesalot - fear of being probed

Heavo - ?

Medibot - fear of helicopters

Blue speedola and red speedola - ?

Repeller - ?

Trivolta - ?

Badside manners - fear of the criminally insane

Fetch - ?

Smiley - fear of bad breath

Jaws - fear of sharks

Psyclops - fear of psychics

Baba yaga - fear of baba yaga

Doom doom - fear of owls

Lila - fear of toxic mushrooms

Bluelien- fear of aliens

Maestro- ?

Fantome - ?

Charon - ?

Morty - fear of helicopters again

Sasquatch - fear of Sasquatch

But before you say like this phobie is supposed to be this or that, like I know what most of them are based off of, but that’s different from what fear they might represent

I dont think fear of stingrays for ray and fear of owls for doomdoom is a big stretch, badside i guess would be a fear of the criminally insane. Charon would probably be similar to grimes in being a fear of death as hes a ferryman for the dead

I agree with chargels and badside manners, but yeah I’ve got no idea what doom doom is supposed to be
