Quotes
- "The Moon is not so bad once you get used to it! I personally find it quite beautiful! Just stay indoors during the night, I shall defend you from those evil Moon monsters!"
- "I found an old space lander once! It looked abandoned, and there was this weird pole with cloth attached to it. Do you know anything about this?"
- "Earth looks very pretty! I went to visit it once, the President of the planet gave me a cookie!"
- "Am I a good Moon Champion? Of course! If I wasn't a good Moon Champion, I wouldn't be sitting here discussing it with you now, would I?"
- "What was I doing on the Moon before I got eaten? I was fighting Moon monsters, of course!"
- "A meteorite hit me on the head today. How rude!"
- "Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do! Not that I'd want to, it's so pretty to look at!"
- "What a wonderful place my Moon is, isn't it? Nothing but silver plains and dunes as far as the eye can see, amidst an inky black sky! ...And Earth's there, too!"
- "Have I ever told you much I love my Moon?"
During night:
- "Human, I am curious, is the Earth made of cheese?"
- "Stand alert, human! Nighttime lasts far longer than it does on Earth, and lots of scary monsters emerge from the craters and shadows looking for food!"
- "You look troubled, are you afraid of those Moon monsters? Do not be, for I will defend you! Those Moon monsters will never defeat me!"
- "Yes, nighttime is finally here! This is the time my Moon offers some of its most challenging foes, and a true Champion will never shy away from a fight!"
- "A while back, I discovered I could tune in on human conversations if they were happening close enough to the Moon! I kept hearing the word 'Houston' come up in their conversations. I haven't heard from him in a while...I would like to meet this Houston some day!"
- "Space is so cool! There are thousands of billions of billions of stars and galaxies! There is nothing I like more than space...well, except my Moon, of course!"
- "Why do I love my Moon so much? ...I'm not sure! I've been here since I first woke up, and it's captivated me with its beauty! It also keeps my senses and skills sharpened with its ceaseless monsters and challenges! It makes me feel alive!"
- "So many Moon monsters out tonight...plaguing, desecrating my Moon. I shall kill all of them, and you shall help me!"
When rescued:
- "Wow, it's bright! How long was I out for, I swear I only took a nap for a moment! ...Oh, you killed that big monster that ate me. Well, thank you!"
- "Thank you very much for rescuing me! It was starting to get a little stuffy in there! You must be a brave champion to have come out all this way. Like me!"
- "Woah, thank you human! You saved me from that frightening space monster! Perhaps...you are also a champion of the Moon, as I am!"
Advice:
- "Don't forget your spacesuit, human! I don't know why, but it always makes me feel weird whenever I take it off, so I never do!"
- "Monsters on my Moon drop these shiny gemstones, and I love keeping them! I'll gladly take them in exchange for some supplies I...found!"
- "Be prepared for anything, and stay alert! The Moon is a very dangerous place crawling with all kinds of monsters, prowling the surface or crawling deep below!"
- "Take caution when going deeper into the Moon's caverns, many of its monsters HATE light! ...Why do they hate light? I'm not sure! They might be scared of it."
- "There's an old human Moon base not far from here! I'd go explore it if I were you, but be careful! I don't think everything in there is entirely dead just yet!"
