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. Their mouth is located on their left cheek. Pou originally comes in a tan colored body and black eyes, but this can be changed by the player. A baby Pou's eyes are proportionally larger to its body than an adult one's, looking similar to a frog with no appendages. However, the player can change Pou's skin and eye colors.

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 to as "it" in the game, and has no option for a gender, but in social media accounts, where Pou is portrayed as an individual, male pronouns are used.
  • Pou can be whatever gender the player wants it to be, since Pous have no sexual differences whatsoever, no gender is revealed or said, and 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" (with an "oh" sound). This is implied in the minigame title Tic Tac Pou and in the Snowpou outfit. Others say the name like "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 voiced Pou by speeding up his voice.
• Pou is neither a Poos nor a potato, but an alien. In an interview, Paul Salameh sees Pou's shape looks like a stone.
• Pou follows the player's finger if they drag it along the screen.
• When Pou gets coins while playing minigames, an animation plays where it will open its mouth wide, slightly lower it, and then finally close it. The same animation plays when Pou is rubbed.
• Pou's maximum level is 270.
• The design for Pou was supposed to be a pear, and even a potato in one instance.
• In the old app icon and in various early merchandise, Pou had a thicker outline.
• Pou's shape was originally intended to be a circle. Paul Salameh even experimented with adding limbs and heads to the character, but were soon deleted.
