 ==Description==
-Tubbius is one of the divine forms of [[The Glutton]] through which [[The Glutton|The Great Slug]] makes contact with humanity.  In this form, Tubbius appears as a mountain-sized, naked, elderly, white-bearded human from the waist up as he seems to sit with his lower half buried in the grass of his great plain.  That lower half is, however, a massive root system spanning a great deal of his Endless Plain where he lives, anchoring Tubbius firmly in place to await the regular rains and sunlight of his realm that keep him so abundantly overfed.

 Tubbius' origins begin with a farmer named Ploav.  Ploav, a loyal follower of [[Marta]], was ultimately possessed by [[The Glutton]], who was actively working to corrupt the farmer's understanding of [[Marta]]'s beliefs and in doing so to gain a foothold with humanity.  The attempt surged briefly, adding to the fertility rites and beliefs an emphasis on nature and growth to gain a small following.  Eventually, though, Ploav's local reputation faltered, and the farmer was forced to flee his home community with many of his followers.  However, Ploav's veneration by his followers after his death meant that [[The Glutton]] had the connection that he wanted, though a small one initially.
-The birth and abandonment of a plump infant named [[Treadwells_(Family)#Tobias|Tobias]] at the door of the one church devoted to Ploav solidified this connection.  As the boy grew to adulthood and became influential within the Ploavian church, [[The Glutton]] used lies through divine revelation to twist the beliefs of the small sect of half-faithful followers, resuming his corruption of beliefs begun with the mortal Ploav by incorporating his own aims of corpulence and gluttony into the existing concept that Ploav was a minor nature and harvest god.  The gluttonous aspects were heavily emphasized, more so than the nature and harvest concepts; the believers, eventually christened "[[Church of Tubbius|Tubbians]]" when [[Treadwells_(Family)#Tobias|Tobias]] declared the god's complete name to be "Ploav Tubbius," soon grew into their generally overweight shapes and their indulgences into food and drink alongside their farming activities and devotions.
