Goowee (Anime)

''This article is about the Anime version of Goowee. For alternate pages referred to by this name, please click any of the icons above.''

Goowee (ぬるりん, Nururin) are a species of air-breathing, fishlike creatures covered in a thick slime that are native to the Demon World. They were found and identified in the forest outside of Shelter B06-32 by Thoma and Lannion. They are not given an official scientific name, and are instead named after their "goo-ey" texture by Thoma and Lannion.

They are shown crawling along the edges of tree bark in the Demon Forest, which is assumed to be their natural habitat.

After struggling to catch them using their hands, the children take them back to the bunker to eat. They draw sticks to see who will test them for safety. Nat draws the losing stick, but is then replaced by Ray, Thoma, and Lannion upon throwing a tantrum regarding it.

Goowee apparently have quite a nice taste, as the children begin to quickly eat more of them than they are allotted. They contain no dangerous properties and are safe for human consumption.

Anime and Manga Differences
Goowee play a slightly larger role in the anime than they did in the manga. While they do appear in the manga, they are just mostly shown in the background of the Demon Forest and are never given an official name. In the anime, the children are shown hunting and catching them for food and are given the name Goowee by Thoma and Lannion. There is also a scene in Episode 4 where, after catching Goowee for the first time, the children draw straws to see who will taste test them to see they are safe to eat. Later, when the children are staying in the Temple, Thoma and Lannion are seen carrying around some Goowee in sacks.
