Gender[]
Gender/Sexual Dimorphism[]
The Boov, unlike most other species, have a total of seven separate sexes: male, female, boygirl, girlboy, boyboy, boyboygirl and boyboyboyboy.
Reproduce[]
Boov reproduce in a similar manor to most aquatic life. The females lays a singular egg out in special places within Boov cities, and leaves them there for male Boovs. The male Boov (or boyboy's) then fertilizes the egg and goes about his day. Once the egg was ready to hatch, Boov's who's job is to collect them comes to take them in. Boov's of all genders have a role to play in the development of young Boov's, some have the job of feeding and raising them, and there are those who teach them the ways of Boov society. The only sense of family Boov's will ever have in their lifetime is the work units they are assigned to in adulthood. In a sense, Boov don't have traditional families or any mother's and father's, in the sense that no Boov knows their offspring and no Boov knows their parents

Trivia[]
- The Boov can change color when they're under extreme emotion.
- Purple/light blue - normal.
- Red - angry.
- Green - lying.
- Yellow - scared.
- Blue - sad.
- Orange/Salmon - happy.
- Rose - love.
- White/Periwinkle - overwhelmed and/or shocked (usually faint)
- Honeynut - disgusted.
- Cyan - silly.
- However, This ability no longer happens in the series.
- If the Boov listen to human music, their bodies automatically dance to the rhythm.
- The Boov seem to be perfectionists, as they have a rule "9 mistakes and you're out."
- The Boov do not touch each other on purpose.
- The Boov are not all the same shade of purple. Not taking into account their color change when showing emotions, their skin seems to span a range of different shades (this is particularly easy to see during scenes on the crowded ship). It appears that there might actually be seven different shades of "normal" Boov skin tones. If that is the case, it might be a nod to the seven different Boov genders that are discussed in the book that the movie is based on (Adam Rex's "The True Meaning of Smekday").
- The Boov are highly omnivorous, and can ingest almost anything that humans would find inedible. They also seem to enjoy the taste of rubber.
- Boov possess grammar that is somewhat juvenile compared to that of humans.
- Boov have skeletons made primarily of cartilage.
- In the book, their shirt color indicates their job (notice on Captain Smek has an orange shirt), they sent us to Florida until they found out oranges (referened by Smek walking around Paris wearing oranges), they had guns that literally wiped things from existance (notice that none of their guns are ever fired), and they had a song insulting Gorg. They also abducted people not to relocate them, but to learn the human language (Tip's mom was sent back, just not where they found her). Oh was specifically tutored by Tip's mom, which caused mistrust between him and Tip.
Behaviour[]
in ending the Boovs are dancing on the moon will see the Captain smek
The Boov are known throughout the universe for being the best at running away. They frequently flee from their enemies or danger. Since their previous planet spread the Boov far apart from each other, they didn't have neighbors. Because of this they don't require companionship or show affection for others. The Boov are always isolated and are often absorbed in their current activities. They don't fully understand other cultures, mistaking inedible objects for food and speaking broken English, though they appear to be fluent in other languages.
Technology[]
The Boov's technology is based around bubbles and plasma energy. They use bubbles as a way of storage and to help make clear domes, as well as a method of language and communication. Their vehicles are mostly spherical in shapes, and have multiple tube like legs as a means of locomotion, as well as collecting things like Boov, objects, humans etc. The plasma is used to power the bubbles and fuels their many ships. Their "Phones" are circular in shape and are also made by bubbles and plasma using the bubbles to make a sort of screen and the plasma to power it. Their weapons consist of bubbles that can erode or pop any substance immediately and at the beginning of the movie you see the red bubbles making holes in buildings. They have a powerful way of turning things like drinks, Slushies and more into power sources but their primary power is from bubbles and plasma.
Anatomy[]
Boov are relatively short creatures compared to humans, adults are roughly the size of human children. They are amphibious and are exceptional swimmers. The Boov's have two eyes and arms with four fingers. They only appear to only have nine molars spread in their mouths that can crush material like plastic. The Boov can breath air, but through tentacle like nostrils attached to the sides of their heads like horns that they can coil. All Boov are semi aquatic and are capable of breathing just a little bit underwater, at least for a half hour or so. Their digestive tract is more durable than a humans, able to break down plastic, glass, motor oil, etc. The Boov have six stubby pods that they walk or run on. They can jump. but not as far or high without an outside force acting on them. They don't have hair but they have feelers that look close to it. The Boov are also extremely durable, being able to survive blunt force like being crushed by heavy objects and falling from tremendous heights.
