| ~ The Fib |
Fibrilious Minimus, better known as the Fib for short, is the titular main antagonist in the VeggieTales episode "Larry-Boy! And the Fib from Outer Space!". He is a blue alien with darker warts who appears from an unknown galaxy and has the power to grow and shrink to lies and truths.
He was voiced by Tim Gregory.
Personality[]
The Fib is truly manipulative, traitorous, violent, duplicitous. At first, he seems to be helpful and cooperative when he helps Junior get out of trouble. However, when he reaches his maximum size, he begins to be rather destructive and obstreperous when he causes a mess.
Despite his friendly facade, he reveals himself to be a deceitful and cruel alien, as shown by him manipulating Junior to wrong his friends for his own enjoyment. He is likewise shown to be very greedy, oppressive, temperamental, and dangerous when he tried to eat Junior and LarryBoy. Just like the old saying, one little lie can get bigger and bigger, that is what the Fib does.
Physical appearance[]
The Fib has four forms. The first form is just a small ball-like shape with darker spots, similar to Lumpy, but with an additional antenna. Next, he looks about the same, only three times larger and has a very slightly deeper voice. Then, he grows even bigger, developing a body with a large round bottom and a slimmer torso, large, floppy feet and almost nonexistent legs, and a noticeably much-deeper voice. Finally, once the lie is big enough, he reaches his final form as a gigantic, approximately 50 ft. tall monster with spindly arms, small hands with three large fingers, and an even deeper, baritone voice.
Biography[]
The Fib first appears as a fallen object detected by the Bumblyburg science lab. This prompts the lab to contact LarryBoy, who goes out in his Larrymobile to locate the alien. The Fib lands in a neighborhood and hides out in Junior Asparagus's house.
The next morning, while Junior is having a tea party with his friend Laura Carrot, he accidentally breaks his dad's decorative bowling plate which prompts Laura to leave immediately. Shortly after this happens, the Fib appears and introduces himself to Junior. He then urges Junior to lie about breaking the plate to avoid getting in trouble. Junior is reluctant and worried at first, but the Fib convinces him to do it, saying that "A little fib couldn't hurt anybody". Junior's Dad then comes home from work. When he sees the broken plate, he is horrified and immediately asks Junior what happened. Junior, being encouraged by the Fib, fabricates a story accusing Laura of breaking the plate with an apple chopper. Junior's Dad believes this and leaves to go call Laura's father. The Fib then emerges to congratulate Junior, and is three times larger than before (about half the size of Junior) but denies growing. The two of them then go off to wander around Bumblyburg.
Later, Junior is confronted by his friend Percy Pea, who reveals that Laura had been punished for breaking the plate, even though she said that it was Junior who broke it, and demands to know the truth. Junior tells another lie and claims that it was actually Laura's brother Lenny who broke the plate by feeding it to a crocodile. Shocked, Percy leaves. The Fib returns to Junior and is now taller than him and has legs, while he does admit it this time (since it's pretty hard to deny it) he dismisses it. The Fib once again congratulates Junior for telling another lie, telling him that he is got the gift and has what it takes. The two resume wandering around Bumblyburg.
Later that evening, Junior is confronted by Laura, Percy, and Lenny, who all rage at Junior over the lies he's told about them. Junior tells yet another falsehood when he claims that the plate was broken by space aliens who had switched brains with cows, but this time, Percy calls his bluff, remarking what Junior said was the plot of a movie he and his little brother saw before the story began (and right before he saw Fib falling to the planet). He then angrily rants at Junior for telling another "big fat ugly lie".
At that moment, the Fib reappears and finally shows his true colors. The Fib has now grown into a massive, towering monster. He snatches up Junior and goes on a destructive rampage throughout Bumblyburg. Junior asks why the Fib was doing this, and the Fib reveals that, because of Junior's lies making him bigger, he could cause all of the havoc that he just wanted. Scooter, the city's chief of police witnesses this, and tells the police force to call LarryBoy. He escapes just in time before the Fib crushes his police car flat.
LarryBoy then appears on the scene and demands that the Fib release Junior. The Fib dares LarryBoy to come after him and takes Junior to the city's water tower. LarryBoy goes after the monster in his jet and jumps out to try and save Junior, however, the Fib also captures him. As Alfred tries figuring out who really can stop Fib, the latter then declares that he was going to eat both Junior and LarryBoy since the latter can't stop him and the former has outlived his usefulness. Seeing that his colorful suit looks like candy, Fib decides to eat LarryBoy first. Just as he puts LarryBoy in his mouth and before he could swallow him, Alfred reveals through his belt buckle that only Junior could stop the Fib, having learned it from his computer.
Junior realizes what he needs to do and finally confesses to breaking his dad's bowling plate. He further admits that he also lied about both Laura and Lenny, each time causing the Fib to shrink until he finally dies by disappearing. Afterwards, Junior apologizes to his dad for breaking the plate, admitting that the reason that he lied was that he was afraid that he would be mad at him. Dad admits that he figured Junior that breaking the plate was just an accident, and tells him that he's more important to him than any plate. While Junior decides to face any punishment, his parents decide all he went through was enough. His father then asks him to be more truthful from now on, which Junior promises to do.
Meanwhile, a red fib lands in the same neighborhood as Junior's house, but it is unknown whether another lie will occur. However, given how LarryBoy saw how Junior defeated the first fib, it's likely he now knows how to stop such aliens.
Quotes[]
| “ | Junior: You must be new to the neighborhood. Fib: You can say that. But more importantly, I'm here to help you out. I couldn't help but notice you broke the plate. Junior: Yeah, I... Fib: And I imagine your father's not gonna be thrilled. Junior: Well yeah... Fib: Now listen closely, what you need is a story. Junior: You mean like a bedtime story? Fib: No, no, no, no. Now try to keep up here, kid, you need to make up a story about how somebody else broke the plate. Junior: You mean you want me to lie?! Fib: Oh, no, no, no, not a lie! What we are talking about here is just a little fib. People do it all the time, trust me. A little fib couldn't hurt anybody. |

Trivia[]
- His appearance helped set up the events of LarryBoy and the Rumor Weed, because the prologue had several references to it as well, as LarryBoy determined to find more space aliens.
- It is unknown how the Fib managed to get inside Junior's house in the first place, but it is likely that he sneaked in after Laura opened the door and arrived and Fib eavesdropped the incident.
- In his small form, the Fib's appearance is likely a reference to one of the three small monsters, Lumpy from the first episode, Where's God When I'm S-Scared?.
- Fib is one of three VeggieTales characters to die, the others being Goliath and the Mother Weed. Interestingly, all three of them perished at the hand (or lack thereof) of Junior Asparagus.
- Fib going on top of a water tower in an attempt to eat Junior as well as LarryBoy might be similar to King Kong where he climbs the Empire State Building while holding Ann Darrow.
