Muggy is a neurotic miniature Securitron made by Doctor 0. Muggy does not sport a policeman's or a soldier's face, but rather Muggy's monitor screen displays an animated version of a smiling coffee cup. Muggy is programmed to have an obsession with coffee mugs and to be aware of this obsession without being able to do anything about it.
Muggy harbors a deep-seated resentment of Dr. 0 for creating it as a mug-obsessed joke compared to the larger Securitrons. Muggy blames Dr. 0 for its creation and the subsequent futility of its existence as Dr. 0 became a brain in a pod who no longer drinks coffee, resulting in there being no new mugs for Muggy to clean. Muggy is also angered by the idea of all the dirty dishes out in the Big MT area and beyond with nobody to clean them.
Muggy will turn all your coffee mugs, coffee pots, and various plates into useful miscellaneous items. The items he accepts and their respective yields are as follows:
In languages that use gender-specific words, Muggy refers to itself as a "she". In English, Muggy's ending slide uses "he", yet robots are typically an "it".
While Muggy can be targeted in V.A.T.S., it is not possible to kill him without the use of console commands, as no weapons deal any damage to him, nor is it possible to use the Robotics Expert perk to shut him down.
Muggy is the only Sink character able to move around "freely" and thus the only one which shows up as a mark on your compass. Though it is possible that in some cases the tick mark does not appear, it is uncertain whether this is a glitch or not.
Muggy seems to be one of the few robotic characters that realizes the Great War took place and that considerable time has passed since then.
Muggy is the only recurring source of pistol powder outside of purchases.
If by some chance Muggy is forced to enter combat (usually only through console codes and even then only with another NPC since Muggy will not enter combat with the player under any circumstance, even using the console to start combat with the player will cause him to immediately cease combat) Muggy will never engage in any fighting and will always flee.
If not turned on by the sinks power, he still has his face on and will still move.
Oddly enough, Muggy is still affected by the fatigue damage dealt by boxing tape. So he can be knocked unconscious.
"Of course I'm obsessed! They made me this way! You think I don't know how crazy I sound? Of course I do! THEY PROGRAMMED ME TO KNOW THAT TOooo-arrr..."
"You... you really want to know about... me? No one ever asks about Muggy! You've made me so happy!"
"The Biological research station told me he had a coffee mug down his processing chute. When I reached in to grab it, he......seeded me!"
"Mugs, Mugs, Mugs. Mugs, Mugs. Mug-a-mug. Mug-a-mug. Mugs! God, why can't I stop singing this fucking song?!"
"I love mugs so much, I might just kill myself!"
"While you were out, I spent six hours trying to get a coffee cup down from a shelf. When I finally got it down I was so happy, I cried... I hate my life!"
"Do you know how many coffee cups giant robot brains in jars use on a daily basis? NOT FUCKING MANY!"
"Of course you don't. Why would you? You're not an INSANE robot obsessed with coffee cups. To you they're just worthless junk!"
