"You'll never half catch me, half coppaaaaah!!!
- Germ at Mae
Jeremy Warton, more commonly known as 'Germ Warfare', is a character in the game Night in the Woods.
Appearance
Germ is a dark blue bird with a yellow beak and black eyes. He wears black jeans, black canvas sneakers, a black nylon jacket (zipped up), and a black hat.[1]
Background
Germ can be found just past the Clik Clak Diner near the abandoned Food Donkey during and after the foggy day. Talking to him everyday and hanging out when asked will grant the achievement "He's From Somewhere". Germ will mention that at some point in his life he was chosen as a sacrifice for the cult and was stalked by a member of it.
Germ had a brother who has passed away. When Mae talks to him about the ghost she saw during Harfest, Germ tells her he doesn't believe in ghosts. Mae asks him why not and he tells her that he figures if ghosts existed his brother would have visited. Embarrassed, Mae drops the subject.
Germ is seen living in the woods "in a tree". You never actually see his real house in the game (although a cut scene of the game where Germ invites Mae to his house shows a bit of it. He has a trampoline in his backyard) however the well he saves the main gang from in the last chapter is apparently in his backyard.
Relationships
- Mae - Mae and Germ become incredibly good friends if you choose to hang out with him a lot. They relate on a lot of stuff and Germ understands Mae's problems.
- Gregg - Most commonly known through his friendship with Gregg by the audience and Gregg's friends, Gregg and Germ are certainly good friends. Germ occasionally hangs out at Gregg's apartment while Gregg happily obliges.
- Bea - Bea mostly knows Germ through Gregg. The two will happily get along and conversate.
- Angus - Not much is known about Germ and Angus' relationship, but Angus most likely knows Germ through Gregg and will happily oblige Germ watching band practice and hanging out at his and Gregg's apartment.
- Casey Hartley - Germ most likely knew Casey as he mentions that he used to ask travellers if they have seen him.
- Crust Punks - Germ occasionally hangs out with Crust Punks (whom Germ refers to as "crusties") out by the Food Donkey. The crusties are usually just passing through Possum Springs, waiting for the next train to jump. He seems to get along with these people. He does mention, however, that someone from the tracks followed him home once.
- Rabies - Germ has a wild possum named Rabies who he introduces to Mae. He says that he found Rabies cold and alone so he bought him some chips and an ice cream. Germ is shown to be proud and amazed by this animal.
- Germ's Family - In content that was cut during development, it is revealed that Germ lives in a house with his parents, at least two younger sisters, and a grandmother who he calls "Gramma".
