Pokey

Used by

Pokey is a friendlier than he looks. He has four arms, and will grapple to any surface you attach him to. You can use him to lift a structure off the ground.

According to legend, during World of Goo development, the game would crash if two Pokeys were present in a level. This no longer appears to be the case in production, however!
