Information
A Cheep Cheep wearing a mining hat much like Goombella's; the light actually extends a drill that allows the Cheep to dig underground. They therefore "swim" in dirt instead of water. This is based on an old idea I had long before Arpeggio existed—the original species was called a "Muba," having the brilliant and intricate etymology of... being "a bum" spelled backwards.
