Species of Tube Traveller #3 - The Litterbug


A rather common species, The Litterbug likes to travel from train to train, leaving a trail of mess behind them for other people to observe and enjoy. This can include anything from food packaging and wrappers through to soiled items of clothing, drink cans and in rare cases, bodily fluid.

The origins of the litterbug are not known, but scientists believe that they must have certainly originated from the topside, as they bring down various food items to leave on carriages, which are not available once underground. Studies are yet to determine if food items are left behind as a sign of aggression, forgetfulness or even as a gift for the next person to join the ride..

The best course of action for The Litterbug is to let them know if they are leaving behind a piece of rubbish, and politely ask if it is meant as a gift. Of course it all may be a big understanding and they may be very grateful to you for letting them know as they may otherwise have lost their empty packet of crisps.

Habitat - Train carriages and platforms

Special Skills - The scavenging and shedding of various food items, receptacles and other waste items

Weaknesses - Glaring, shaming, bins
