Lobco

Lobco (ロブコ) is a humanoid lobster-shrimp hybrid from Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea. She is one of Chlomaki's familiars and often goes off with her away from the sea.

Physical Description
Lobco has red, curly hair falling to just below her shoulders. Four antennae like hairs stick out the top; two long and two short. Her eyes are dark red in game, but black in her official art and her pupils are a lighter red.

Lobco wears the uniform all of Chlomaki's familiars wear. Her uniform is black with eight yellow buttons on the front with two yellow stripes lining either side of the buttons. The cuffs of her sleeves are a dark gray decorated with two yellow buttons, and at her shoulders her uniform is decorated with yellow epaulettes. Her skirt is also black. In her game sprite, a yellow line accents the edge of her skirt, but this is missing from her official art. A red chain can be seen hanging from the side of her skirt. A long red shrimp tail protrudes from under her skirt.

Lobco also wears dark gray tights, white gloves, and knee-high black boots with white laces.

Personality
It was said the moment Lobco leaves the sea, unlucky things befall her. She is pessimistic and believes that most people dislike her and find her annoying. In casual conversation, she appears very polite. She is quite cowardly, often allowing others to use her. She enjoys photography and being home and dislikes pain.

Lobco, furthermore, isn't so great at communicating with others so she doesn't have many friends. She is, however, on good terms with other familiars of Chlomaki.

Background
Lobco is the child of Doloz and Cherryblod. Born in the Blue Sea, she later left it and became Chlomaki's familiar, as she is now often seen travelling with the witch.

Major

 * Poor Shrimp-based - She appears as a main character in these mini-comics usually alongside Roc Hijoushiki.

Minor

 * Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea - Lobco appears as a supporting character, familiar to Chlomaki and a native to Deepsea Town.
 * Various 1 - Appears as a supporting character alongside Chlomaki and Wadanohara.

Cameo

 * Obsolete Dream - Lobco makes a cameo appearance in her animal form on the cover of Chapter 3, visible at the bottom right corner of the page.

Doloz
Doloz is Lobco's mother.

Cherryblod
Cherryblod is Lobco's father. When she is being held captive by Roc, she cries for him to come save her.

Chlomaki
Lobco is Chlomaki's familiar. Lobco always speaks respectfully to Chlomaki, referring to her as "Lady Chlomaki," even though Chlomaki pushes her around. The two are commonly seen together in Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea and both appearing on the cover page of Obsolete Dream's third chapter.

It's been said that Chlomaki knows about Lobco's situation with Roc, but that she's not physically strong enough to do anything about it.

Aom
Aom is Lobco's best friend. Aom worries a lot about Lobco.

Roc Hijoushiki
In almost all of their shared illustrations, Roc has been depicted happily kidnapping and harassing Lobco, who wants to and has tried to run away (but to no avail). Roc has also raped Lobco on numerous occasions, as well as having drugged her in order to force her to lay eggs (which he later ate in front of her). Ironically, one particular illustration shows Roc expressing a desire for Lobco to bear his children, much to her abject horror. Another illustration depicts him throwing knives at her; this was supposedly when he had still just met her and had not gotten close to her.

It has also been stated that Roc does not hit her. The other demons in Ne-no Kuni interpret their relationship as Roc "simply keeping a pet shrimp." Furthermore, while Lobco is at Roc's home, she does not have much to do; thus Roc prepares activities for her to pass time. Roc has also been stated to have eaten Lobco's tail before, and that it is shrimp flavored. Roc makes sure she does not feel pain when he does this by having her be unconscious. If Lobco were to hide somewhere in her shrimp form, Roc would still find her quite easily.

When asked if Roc and Lobco would ever get married, Deep-Sea Prisoner responded that she thinks they will sooner or later.

In Funamusea's Private Deep-Sea Academy, Lobco's and Roc's relationship is still fairly the same, except Lobco is not kidnapped or confined in this alternative universe. Furthermore, their relationship is somewhat peaceful now; however, Roc is trying to force Lobco to let him be her boyfriend.

Fungas Crocodile, Mikaduki, Shiduku, & Silone
They are Lobco's fellow familiars. They are on good terms.

Met
The two have not been seen interacting yet, but Deep-Sea Prisoner has said that Met hits on Lobco because she likes cute girls.

Natural Abilities

 * Nigh-Absolute Immortality - Like most non-human characters in the Deep-Sea Prisoner Universe, Lobco cannot die from natural causes such as aging or disease.
 * Animal Transformation - Being a lobster-shrimp hybrid, she is able to switch between a humanoid and animal form.
 * Underwater Breathing - Being an aquatic hybrid, she can naturally breathe underwater.

Battle Statistics

 * Although Lobco is inaccessible in battle, code of Lobco's supposed stats can still be found in the game's data.

Trivia

 * In Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, Lobco is forced to use an ability (Chlomaki tells Wadanohara how to do it, suggesting that any familiar and witch can do it) that consists of licking some of Chlomaki's blood to decimate a huge number of Totsusa Soldiers that surrounded Wadanohara and her familiars.
 * As stated in the manga (book), her favorite color is pink. Her favorite food is anything that doesn't contain shrimp. Her specialty is the ability to withstand Chlomaki messing around.
 * From June 28 to August 3, 2017, Deep-Sea Prisoner hosted a character popularity poll that lets each person vote three of their favorite characters. When the results came out on September 7, 2017, Lobco was ranked 21st.
 * Two omakes found in the back of the physical Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea manga explain why Lobco, in her shrimp form, rides on the brim of Chlomaki's hat; before, she used to follow Chlomaki in her shrimp form on foot, which caused Chlomaki to instinctively pounce on top of her as a result of her cat-instincts.
 * Translation conflicts exist regarding Lobco's species. In the official English translation of the Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea game, she is stated to be a lobster — which is also the species of her mother, Doloz. However, in the official English translation of the Wadanohara and the Great Blue sea manga, Lobco is stated to be a shrimp. Supplementary work of Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea as well as other media also allude to Lobco being a shrimp. The original Japanese game refers to her as "a shrimp" (エビ). Deep-Sea Prisoner has confirmed that Lobco is a hybrid, being both lobster and shrimp.
 * Deep-Sea Prisoner has stated that Lobco is half-lobster and half-sakura shrimp.
 * Deep-Sea Prisoner has stated that Lobco tastes like shrimp.
 * On her first live stream, Deep-Sea Prisoner revealed that Lobco likes seaweed.
 * Deep-Sea Prisoner also stated that both Lobco and Roc are quite easy for her to draw.
 * Lobco's antenna may also someday change into a heart shape, just like Roc's ahoge; this may hint towards their developing relationship.
 * It's been said that Lobco can't tell people about Roc for "a certain reason."
 * Lobco is not particularly good with her hands, and thus, she does not really do any arts and craft activities while in Roc's home; she will mostly read a book or watch television. However, Lobco is not a fan of horror movies.
 * When asked if Lobco would have children, Deep-Sea Prisoner said maybe one day she may eventually lay a fertilized egg.
 * Lobco and her father, Cherryblod, have demon blood in their veins. However, even if Roc knew of such a thing, it would not change how he views Lobco; she is still a shrimp.
