He also has a nametag over his apron which says "Howdy" (his name). Unlike his neighbors, he has four arms and four legs. He is a quite muscular and strong guy, however, he has a chubby belly as well.

Personality: As the friendliest and happiest shopkeeper around Home, Howdy is presented as a quick-witted, charismatic and an overemotional salesman. He is usually a very polite and well-behaved caterpillar who will try his best to respect everyone no matter who they are, however, he is also a bit of a quick-tempered guy, but he'll usually try to hide his bad mood or anger to avoid the concern of others. He is also a bit of an overprotective guy, who tends to treat his favorite customers as if they were his own children.

Relationships: Howdy is the neighbor of 7 people, living around a small town called "Home", meaning that there are 8 people living in that town. His neighbors are called: Wally Darling, Julie Joyful, Frank Frankly, Eddie Dear, Barnaby B. Beagle, Sally Starlet and Poppy Partridge. He likes and respects all his neighbors in general and tries to treat them all equaly with his usual kindness, but he can't help it but secretly have a few opinions about his neighbors. He likes Julie as an acquaintance, same with Poppy and Sally, but secretly tends to find Sally's rambunctious personality kind of annoying sometimes. He likes Barnaby more than the rest of the neighbors because of his usually funny behavior and personality, he even sees him as a friend. He's also been trying to be friends with Frank, but Howdy's no big fan of being studied by him just because of the mere fact of him being a caterpiller, as he knows very well that Frank thinks he will turn into a butterfly some day, which disappoints him. He has also considered being friends with Eddie, since Howdy really likes people who are as organized and determined like him, but the caterpillar is also a bit concerned about Eddie, this due to the fact that he knows very well that Eddie tends to overwork and put too much effort into almost everything. Among all his neighbors around Home, there is only one of them who he dislikes, who is no one more and no one less than Wally himself. Howdy tends to hide his opinion about him by trying to be polite and respectful towards him just like he does with the rest of the neighbors, he does this to avoid any kind of struggles, but he secretly just can't stand the fact that Wally tends to steal his merchandise and eat it without paying for it, this happens with the apple supply especifically.

Extra info about him: Howdy was a small-time caterpillar who wanted to start his own business, which he accomplished in Home as a much larger caterpillar. His grocery store was named Howdy’s Place, with Barnaby serving as his most loyal customer. Howdy was said to have originated from an apple core in a tree alongside his plentiful brothers and sisters, many of whom Howdy would offhandedly mention a plethora of by name. Akin to Julie’s siblings, Howdy’s family doesn’t seem to live in Home either. Howdy would often exchange goods for funny jokes, silly observations, one-dollar ideas, and unique gadgets. Noted formerly as being his favorite customer, Barnaby would often appear regularly at Howdy’s Place. He would supply Howdy with a daily laugh in exchange for a hot dog.
