“	Bubba Bubbaphant is the brains of the critters. Bright and attentive, he keeps his friends steady and always steers them to make smart choices, that way they all might grow up to be bright and brilliant, each in their own right.	”
— Bubba Bubbaphant's Twitter/X description

Bubba Bubbaphant is a toy produced by Playtime Co. who will debut in Chapter 3: Deep Sleep. He presumably resides in Playcare with the rest of the Smiling Critters line-up.

Appearance

Bubba Bubbaphant is an anthropomorphic sky-blue elephant with black eyes, a S-shaped trunk, a long tail with a bulb-shaped end, and large ears. His feet, hands, and tail end, as well as the inside of his trunk and ears, are a darker shade of blue. Similar to the other Smiling Critters, Bubba Bubbaphant is depicted with a wide toothless grin (the inner mouth shrouded in darkness), and he possesses a zipper line running down his centre, with the zipper sporting a yellow light bulb pendant with a blue Edison screw base. Bubba Bubbaphant also emits a lemongrass scent.

His cartoon appearance is roughly the same as his toy appearance, albeit with his zipper line removed, the addition of white pupils, and the zipper pendant attached to a black necklace.

Personality

According to his Twitter description, Bubba Bubbaphant is the most intelligent Smiling Critter and acts as the brain of the gang. This behaviour is backed up by his light bulb pendant (often used in cartoons to convey brilliant ideas), and by his interactions with CraftyCorn in the cartoon's intro, when he removed her painting from her easel to reveal a complex math equation. Bubba is observant and level-headed, keeping his friends on the right track to make smart decisions, so they can create a bright future for themselves.

Like the other Smiling Critters, Bubba showcased an unnerving and maniacal personality when CatNap came to DogDay's house during their sleepover. His retained intelligence was the catalyst for the subsequent events, as he was the first critter to ask CatNap to use his abilities to overcome their fear-induced insomnia. When CatNap complied, Bubba showed signs of insanity, addiction, and mania when inhaling the sleeping Poppy Gas, laughing hysterically with the others until he passed out.

Trivia
