Starchy

Starchie is the Candy Kingdom's residential gravedigger. He first appears in "Slumber Party Panic," in which he is frightened by a Candy Zombie and he suddenly explodes while delivering a larger corpse shovel to Princess Bubblegum.

Appearance
Starchie resembles a chocolate malt ball and a potato. He has a long, thick brown mustache and wears a blue janitor's hat. Unlike most Adventure Time characters', Starchie's eyes appear to be perfect circles. Starchie is also one of a few characters to have eyebrows.

Personality
Starchie is a very superstitious individual as he has a strong belief in magic and the paranormal. His devotion to magic is seen in "Wizards Only, Fools," where he gets a cold and stubbornly refuses Princess Bubblegum's cold medicine, demanding magical treatment instead. When Princess Bubblegum openly denounces magic, calling it "scientific principles presented like mystical hoo-doo," Starchie becomes very upset and begins to cry. In "We Fixed a Truck," Starchie demonstrates his belief in paranormal activity as he is heard hosting a late-night show called "Graveyard Shift" that deals with "haints, phantasmagoria, and phenomena" in the Candy Kingdom.

In "Billy's Bucket List," Starchie seems to be a fan of rap music as he attends a rap battle in the Candy Kingdom. While there, he vocally critiques the rhyming skills of Finn and Rap Bear.
