Uses

Bestefar provides increased drill width, boost and drilling ability when attached to the terrain tool for 10 minutes when fed a Seed. Feeding Bestefar a Mutant Boomalloon Seed will increase the buff to 30 minutes.

The width, boost, and drilling ability buffs are equivalent to the Wide Mod, Boost Mod, and Drill Mod 1. Bestefar's buff stacks with the wide and boost mods, but not the drill mod, requiring a Drill Mod 2 or Drill Mod 3 to handle harder terrain.

Appearance

Bestefar's primary color is white, his secondary color is sky blue, and his tertiary color is blue. He has a set of four eyes that are in a constant squint. He is the only Galastropod to not have an additional color on his chest. There is a small "tuft" on his chest that may represent chest hair, as it is implied by his name that he is the oldest of the Galastropods, as "Bestefar" is the Norwegian word for "grandfather". His horns are solid and directly protrude from the sides of the back of his head. His horns also make a noticeable arc back towards each other. He also has the longest horns of all Galastropods. A set of four smaller appendages, which could be additional horns, protrude from the back of his head and are detailed with blue at their ends. His mouth is indicated by four appendages that hang directly from his face, two of which are at a noticeable angle and may resemble a mustache. His shell is very bright desaturated teal. A splotch of silver occupies the top of his shell, alongside two spherical formations stacked on top of one another that vaguely resemble a horn. His shell also has the largest base of all Galastropods.
