Pokee is a bearded dragon who, along with Sammi, is one of the first Townies that comes to live in Critter Cove after its abandonment. When the Captain first arrives to fulfill Renard's job listing, Pokee can be found living in a tent on the island's eastern beach.
She has sandy-golden scales with a pale belly, as well as a row of thorny spines along the sides of her face and tail. The spots on her brow resemble teeth, and her eyes are usually locked into a glare. Unlike most bearded dragons which are opportunistic omnivores, Pokee is rather picky with her food and dislikes meat.
As a critter with the grumpy personality, Pokee has a mean sense of humor and a standoffish exterior. When it comes time to pick a house, she will ask your advice, and do the opposite of whatever you tell her. She enjoys a person who dishes out enough sarcasm to match her, and will warm up quickly to anyone who realizes she has a massive sweet tooth.
Since you cannot ask a Townie to leave in the Demo, at the moment, Pokee is present on all instances of Critter Cove.
Trivia[]
- Her name is probably a reference to her spikes. Because they poke ya
- She is based on a bearded dragon owned by the developers, Nacho. Nacho was very sassy, inspiring the entire Grumpy personality type.

Version History[]

Pokee's initial design from 2019. She hasn't changed much!
Pokee was one of the first Townies present in early builds of the game, receiving her name and design back in 2019. She has been present in every build and playtest ever since, faithfully rebuilt through several art overhauls.
Because of her long history, she was chosen to become one of the default residents of Critter Cove.

Pokee finds the "Special Berries," 2020
In the Critter Cove Demo, all Townies with a Grumpy personality were removed from the limited pool of 2 Castaways. This was to prevent the possible nightmare scenario of an island from being filled with 3 jerks and Sammi, because there was only a limit of 4 Townies and no option to ask them to leave.
As a result, Pokee was the only Townie with a Grumpy personality in the Critter Cove Demo, with all others only being encountered as tourists. In Early Access, Grumpy characters will be able to be encountered as castaways.
