Pou is an alien who is the title character of the game of the same name.

Appearance

Pou is an alien whose body is a round-edged triangle shape. Its mouth is located on their left cheek, but it moves towards the center every times Pou opens it or when Pou is sad. By default, Pou comes in a tan-colored body and black pupils. A baby Pou's eyes are proportionally larger to its body than an adult one's, making it look similar to a frog with no appendages. However, the player can change Pou's skin and eye colors, and customize it with outfits and accessories.

Sizes

  • Baby - 0%-49%
  • Child - 50%-99%
  • Adult - 100%

Trivia

  • Pou pants like a dog after being rubbed, much like being tickled.
  • Many players believe that Pou is male. However, it is implied in-universe that Pous are a species and not an individual character.
    • Pou is referred with "it" pronouns in the game, and has no option for a gender, but in social media accounts, where Pou is portrayed as an individual, masculine pronouns (he/him) are used.
    • Pou can be whatever gender the player wants it to be, since Pous have no sexual differences whatsoever. There are both masculine and feminine features for Pou in the shop.
  • Every time the game is opened after leaving it for too long, Pou will automatically become sick, get dirty, and defecate only in the bathroom.
  • The name "Pou" has different pronunciations depending on the speaker. Some people say it like "poh" (like the name "Poe"). This is implied in the minigame title Tic Tac Pou and in the Snowpou outfit. Others say the name as "poo" (similar to "Pooh"), and a few say it like "pow" (rhymes with "wow"). In Arabic, Pou is written as بو, which sounds more like "Boo".
  • Paul Salameh provided Pou's vocal effects by speeding up his voice.[1]
  • Pou's eyes follow the player's finger if it is dragged along the device's screen.
  • When Pou gets coins while playing minigames, an animation plays where it will open its mouth wide to the center, slightly lower it, and then finally close it to the left. The same animation plays when Pou is rubbed.
  • Pou's maximum level is 270.
  • In the old app icon and in various early merchandise, Pou had a thicker outline.
  • Pou's body, eyes, and mouth sprites are made up of vector graphics and 2D drawing primitives (circles, lines, and curves) rather than bitmap images.[2]
