Brobee is one of the main characters in Yo Gabba Gabba. He is a small, furry and green monster who lives in a fall themed place called Brobee Land. Brobee plays the drums, and he likes to eat many types of food; He is often subjected to trying different foods.
Appearance
Brobee is the third member of the Gabba friends where he is "The little green one!". Like most of the characters besides Muno, Brobee doesn't have any parents in the show. Brobee lives the appropriately named Brobee Land, a vast autumn forest-themed realm, in between Foofa Land and Toodee Land. He is voiced in the show by Amos Watene.
Brobee is the shortest out of the main Yo Gabba Gabba! cast, also being the youngest. He is around 4 years old and is a green furry monster, with horizontal dark green stripes across his body, dark green feet and dark green hands. He has three bright red spikes on the top of his head, a large unibrow, and red lips. His arms are also very long. He is the only main character to change expressions depending on the situation; his normal smile can be flipped upside down to form a frown and vice versa.
The Brobee costume is the smallest out of the others; the way Muno works is that the performer inside can see out of the pupils. Like the Muno costume, the performer enters through a zipper opening through the back which is sealed up. Brobee is the only main character whose facial expression can change. In-between takes, depending on Brobee's mood at the moment, the costume's mouth is detachable and can be flipped from a smile to a frown and snaps in with hidden interlocks under the fur, with the lower interlock being used if he is smiling while the upper interlock is used if he's frowning. Like Muno, there is a vent inside the top of Brobee's head so the performer inside can have breathing space.
Brobee appears in every episode except Mystery.
