Angus Funkwell

Angus is a recurring character in U.B. Funkeys. Introduced in the 4.5 update to the game, called "Funkey Trunk", he is a scientist, an explorer, a wizard and a salesman. Known to being the only funkey to travel in the "in-between", he is into researching it and the funkey familiars to understand more about the portals and how they travel funkeys in between worlds. His lab was set up around the in-between, where he can grab and use various special items.

In the story, he gives U.B a trunk of his own, where the funkey familiars and Angus´ various special items can be found.

In-Game

He can be found in every area except Speed Racer, walking around the portal to funkeystown of each area. Clicking on him will give you a pop-up where you can choose to see his trunk or learn about using it.

Players used to be able to buy a currency called "Loot", which was bought using real money. Players could pay real money and obtain Loot, which could then be used in Angus´ trunk to buy various crib items, Moods and Funkey Familiars. Some items on Angus´ trunk had an expiration date, where after they expired could no longer be used and had to be bought again. Loot and Angus´ Trunk were made no longer accesible after the game servers were shut down.

Crib items included normal items which could be bought using coins in the game, but also had special animated items or items that had animations when clicked on them. They had no expiration date.

Moods were animations that were added onto your funkey. These included hearts, rainbows and even an electrifying animation. These were mainly used to give a cool effect to your funkey. They didn´t expire either.

Portal Jammers were also sold, where you could use one to enter any portal, gameroom or game portal as any funkey at the cost of using up a Portal Jammer. They were sold solo or in packs, and didn´t expire.

Finally, Funkey Familiars were little creatures that flew around your Funkey. These were designed after various funkeys, like Vlurp, Vroom and even Dot. These allowed you to enter their respective funkeys´ gamerooms, shop at their market and even play that funkeys´ game, but it would not give gameroom access, trophy, high-score items or special items. Only coins. These lasted from a week to 30 days.

Trivia

• Angus, Dr. Tinker, the Oni, and the Henchmen 2.0 are the only major characters to not have a figure released or designed.
• According to Jeff Bruneau, main line manager for Mattel, an Angus figure was planned, but never made, probably due to the line ending.
