- Arlo

Arlo is a blue Monster that is a fan of video games, especially Nintendo. He has a number of channels that feature him including his main channel, Arlo Plays, and Arlo Whatevz.

Beginning in the year of 2020, he has hosted his own weekly news series called Nintendo News Roundup, which focuses on reviewing all the Nintendo related news that occurs throughout each week.

On June 14 2021, Arlo started a new channel focused on podcasts, with other YouTubers as guests, called "Arlocast".

Physical Description
Arlo is a blue, puppet like monster. He has a circular head and two beady eyes. He has shaggy blue hair on the top of his head, a large expressive mouth, and a long neck. Arlo only shows the top half of his body in his videos, however, concept art shows that he has an oval shaped body and stubby legs with three round toes on each foot.

Personality
Arlo's personality is generally upbeat and optimistic. He thoroughly enjoys video games and may have major reactions to new announcements. While Arlo does have a playful and humorous side, he also has a serious and formal one. Though he holds very strong opinions for games he feels passionate about, he is always sure to be very fair and unbiased with his feelings. He is very respectful to others and while he has shown irritation towards the actions of certain groups, he never takes it out on specific individuals.

Death
"Eh, you just look a little… different from most depictions of you."

- Arlo to Death

Initially, when Arlo met Death, he was both confused and fearful of the eternal being due to the situation he was in. However, throughout Death's appearances in videos Arlo would seem more and more casual about him, despite Death still treating him like an inferior.

While Death only looks at Arlo as a mortal, he is willing to return the blue monster to the living in order to play his video games. This would usually come to Arlo's dismay as Death typically refuses to share. In Arlo's review of Super Mario Odyssey, it is revealed that Death even started his own YouTube channel of reviews and let's plays, possibly having being influenced by Arlo.

Arlo and Death show their differences, however, Arlo does still show friendliness to the eternal spirit whenever he appears and was even excited to see him in his Christmas special despite his antagonistic behavior.

Trivia

 * Arlo is consistently mistaken for the Cookie Monster by new viewers, which is an issue that has run ever since the start of his channel.
 * He loves food, especially sandwiches.
 * He has a "high horse" named Roberta.
