A GROSS Underestimation! Bonus Scene - Prepare to Battle!

A bonus panel which forms an interlude between pages 3 and 4 of A Gross Underestimation!, showing Meuka and Mallow facing up to battle. Meuka starts ramping up production of his mucus to amplify his power, while Mallow, having been enraged by Meuka already and now further irritated by his mess, reaches an emotional fever pitch, causing his stench and toxins to greatly intensify!

Comic Description & Plot Outline

After Jinji the Gengar introduced Meuka to Mallow (by using a tablet device to host a video call with him) during Mallow’s 2024 Birthday Party, Meuka has been fascinated by this strange, “sentient garbage-heap” creature everyone nicknames “The Stinkiest Garbodor”. Being Neopia’s grossest and most terrifying villain, Meuka decides he has to find out if Mallow really is everything people claim he is… so one day, he finds a way to sneak out of Neopia itself and make his way to the Pokémon World, where he eventually comes across Mallow’s house. Mallow is chilling out by himself, casually watching TV in his living room, completely unaware that the mucus Meerca is about to step right through his door and challenge him to a battle. But Meuka is soon to discover Mallow is more powerful than he thought…

While not technically a birthday comic in itself, “A GROSS Underestimation!” forms a kind of pseudo-sequel to the earlier 2024 work, “Mallow’s House Party“, and was published for his 2026 Birthday, forgoing his usual Birthday antics.

Trivia and References

• Meuka’s reference to “instilling fear into the noses of Neopia” is not just a reference to Mallow’s stench, but also to Meuka’s habit of “slipping out of Neopets’ noses” when they become ill in order to challenge them to a battle.
• Meuka’s production of mucus and his threat to flood Mallow’s house reference his appearance in Defenders of Neopia, where he is depicted unleashing a flood of mucus to terrorise a small village.
