an unhatched egg that took too long to hatch, resulting in Lunk's mother abandoning him when her other children hatched. Blork had taken this remaining egg, thinking it was bad, and threw it against a rock, resulting in tiny baby poodnoobie rolling out. At the time, it was so small it fit inside the palm of Blork's hand and feeling guilty, Blork decided to adopt it and name it Lunk. Poodnoobies resemble dogs, with he exception being that they have purple fur, three tongues and six legs. While poodnoobies are notorious for growing to giant proportions, the nursery rules allow Splatoon children to have one pet each as long as they care for it. Over time, Lunk grows into a giant pet. At school, Lunk gets distracted by a flying bug and ends up destroying the classroom by accident. This causes the teacher, Modra Ploogsik, to call the Big Pest Squad to take Lunk away where he will be vaporized like other troublesome animals. Feeling responsible for this, Blork decides to immediately run away during class and stowaway on the van carrying Lunk until they reach the Big Pest Squad compound. There, he steals a rocket car and manages to scoop up Lunk using the net function of the vehicle. Reunited, Blork decides to run away with Lunk to deep space. Due to not knowing his way, they end up landing in an unknown place that is inhabited by "Things" which resemble giant lizards. Eventually, the two are brought before the leader of the Things, a short man calling himself Squat who decides to make both Blork and Lunk slaves. When Blork throws a tantrum, Squant is impressed and wants Blork to teach him how to throw one. Blork refuses, and both he and Lunk get imprisoned for some time. During the course of his imprisonment, Blork is subjected to various slave labor that include feeding creatures and cleaning the castle. At this time, he also slowly learns the language of the Things as well as their history of how Squat came to imprison their kind through the use of a vaporizing gun. Blork also learns how to control his emotions. Eventually, Blork is summoned to Squat again, who wants one of the Thing cooks to prepare Lunk as a meal. Blork is against this, and throws his biggest tantrum. Even more impressed than last time, Squat makes a deal
