Tubert
Tubert is a character in Skyward Sword.[3]
Biography
Tubert is an enormous, bald Mogma. He is a cunning entrepreneur who runs the Thrill Digger mini-game at the Eldin Volcano, where customers can dig for Rupees at the cost of paying Rupees. He believes that serving treasure hunters is more profitable than hunting for treasure himself.[4]
Tubert is found inside a cave near a Bokoblin village, however, the entrance to the cave is blocked by a large piece of rubble that can only be destroyed with a Bomb. Once inside, Tubert pops out of the ground and explains the Thrill Digger game rules to Link. He also tells Link that the Rupee Ore found along the walls can be shot with a projectile to yield Rupees.[5]
Tubert claims to want his customers to admire his "best features". Because of this, he stands on his tail so people can admire his paws as well as his Mustache.[6][7] He also prides himself in his glasses, claiming they make him look fashionable.[8]
