He also sells the void essence you need in order to get the void pendant. Definitely easiest person to get to move in with you.

[@TheKrislaf]

I'd like to think Krobus liking horseradish is completely unique to him. It has nothing to do with him being a shadow person or anything from their culture. Other monsters might scratch their heads at him loving it too. Instead, for some reason, Krobus just really likes horseradish.

[@austinhobbesandjustin]

Just another reason to love Krobus

[@justlisa1599]

Krobus is the perfect roomie. He is unfailingly positive about the relationship and strives to be helpful. He seems really happy to be there and appreciates our efforts to make a good home. I'm an introvert and have always disliked sharing my home with other NPCs... having Krobus move in was a fantastic idea! : )

I always had Krobus pegged as someone who didn't want to be around others very much. A case of "I'd like to be left alone, but not BE alone." Which is why he lives in the sewers, he is close to people, he is close to his own kind, he can visit when he so desires, it made sense. Plus when the farmer moves in and is able to enter the sewers, he makes a friend. Also, thumbnail had me thinking of glitched out blue guy. Can't remember the name

It’s also interesting that krobus must have learned English (or whatever language you have the game set to). The only reason we can understand the dwarf is because of the translation guide, but we never get a “shadow people” translation guide so he must have put in the effort to learn our language, even though he didn’t really intend on interacting with us

[@toolatetothestory]

That just makes me think that Krobus may just like gossip xD Learned the language just to listen in on people, he probably knows all the drama in town xD

[@strongblade]

I think you might be over-analyzing the horseradish thing. In my head-canon, Horseradish to Krobus is a human delicacy he got to try once and found it delicious. Therefore he loves it as a gift.

[@mothgosally9333]

Horseradish is used to make wasabi which is hot, the shadow people live deep down in the lava levels which would be hot, a different type of heat, but still. Maybe there's some sort of logic there?

[@Leapalot]

It's perfect!

[@Gr3nadgr3gory]

Technically Wasabi is a relative of horseradish.

[@judasmichael8401]

I think Krobus loves wild horseradish because it suits his quirky personality, and it fits the theme of him liking the unusual or the unsettling. Most people would find biting into raw horseradish to be EXTREMELY unpleasant, as it is a very potent flavor and can be quite spicy. It makes sense that a monster loves a food most humans find unpalatable (unless it's prepared as a condiment)

[@totallynottoast798]

There is an interesting tidbit in the stardew valley wiki about Krobus, under the Housemate tab, that i found interesting: "Instead of divorce, Krobus can be evicted for free. However, the player still needs to do this through the book in the Mayor's Manor. *After Krobus moves out, he is silent towards the player and will refuse gifts.*" Along with that dialogue you mentioned near the end of the video about the player nibbling Krobus in bed, this leads me to believe there might be a hint of romantic feelings, or at least strong connection, in the arrangement.

[@ShinyHunterOctavia]

Time for Krobus!!!!! Best roommate!! As an AroAce, I always go for him!!!!

[@cofeejoe2882]

Aro ace Krobus ARO ACE KORBUS! I'm glad he was added as a platonic option, as a "relationships are not needed to be fulfilled" But it's always nice to share your life with some one you care for, like family and friends. :> I'm not aro but i am ace so I'm required by law to comment (?)

[@daveharrenburg7670]

Yoo fellow aroace!! Having someone move in with you is somewhat needed for completion and I was planning on just not having anyone move in so I was ecstatic when I found out you could have Krobus as a roommate. It'd be awesome if there were other characters that could just be roommates but Krobus is the best character in the game so I'm cool with Krobus being the one to get the privilege of it!

[@Trux2010]

[@nathannakonieczny1343]

Look. The guy doesn't go outside except in winter. He likes bitter things like slime, algae, void eggs, etc. It makes sense he would love horse radish, and he WOULD love someone bringing him some random thing he doesn't have access to. I like trying new things, everyone does. Krobus doesn't need an explanation for liking horse radish.

[@choryllis6646]

Personally, I think there's another tidbit that helps blur the line between roommate and romantic partner with Krobus; With all marriage candidates, you give them a mermaid pendant instead of the typical engagement ring. But Krobus accepts a void pendant...which looks exactly like a darker version of a mermaid pendant.

[@Leapalot]

Gotta get my secret roommate engagement ring... 😅

[@slwrabbits]

If you visit the seller of the mermaid pendant after Krobus moves in with you, he says he's "glad it worked out for you," even though you never bought the mermaid pendant from him. It's probably just a coding oversight, but amusing to note.

[@winno8744]

Ok ok Leap called me out with that ending. I was highly contemplating divorcing Shane and befriending Krobus. We would be roomies and spill the tea everyday. How could you? 😭

[@Dumbaxxi]

Omg I literally divorced shane and am now grinding for void essence lmao

[@clumsie5078]

Sdv is really LGBT friendly and gives special dialogue. They are meant to be for aro/ace people and it isn't really meant to be a romantic option but a commited qpr. Qpr is queer platonic relationship which basically means that it's a platonic relationship that dips into some of the aspects meant to be seen as romantic. For everyone it's different but in krobus's case they are willing to live with and raise a family with you but not reproduce. I think also that the reason why adoption isn't requested is mainly because it'd be too difficult to undergo the adoption process while krobus lives there and has an onmious room filled with chains directly next to the bedroom with no seperating walls while you "live alone"

[@sophiathefurbst]

It would be really cool if Krobus and you could, like, raise your own shadow children that you rescued or something, though. There are mods to turn your kids into shadow ones, though there isn’t that sort of lore (outside of what would be my personal headcanons) to my knowledge and you have to still obtain said children from a previous marriage.

Tbh I pick krobus as my roommate because frankly I don’t wanna be judged by myself for picking anyone else. It’s also (I my opinion) the only option that just feels like two friends hanging out in the same house(like all those funny sitcoms), and isn’t tied to romance in the slightest

[@honeybunbb52]

The one thing Stardew Valley is missing for me is non-standard marriage candidates, like how HM/SOS had goddesses, witches, kappas and stuff. Krobus is a step in the right direction for sure but I'd sure love to be able to smooch him, maybe also have a platonic option for some of the human characters as well

[@jessicaswinbourn.320]

Maybe an adventurer had a Wild Horseradish on their person, perished in the mines, Krobus find the remains including the radish, ate the radish, (although at this point it would be way gross.) and liked it. This is the, sadly, best I can come up with.

[@eldrichnemo9312]

@@melindacadarette3447 Stardrop flavor is unique to the taster based on their favorite thing. Krobus isn't the only villager who dislikes it but in those cases it's because the favorite thing is something lost to them, so to be reminded of it is saddening instead of comforting. I think in Krobus's case it has to do with being outcast from his own people because of his interest in humans.

[@TooFewSecrets]

"A (monster jewelry piece)? How did you.... Oh, wow. *Yes,* I'll move in with you, if you'd like," really does not sound like a platonic reaction to a roommate request. We all know the farmer's getting some of that Krobussy.
