Old Pokeys aka Heaphy

Pokey is the first monster available in Backyard Monsters. It is the only Overworld monster that a player doesn't need to unlock in the Monster Locker, because it is already available from the moment you start playing. They are often used in attacks called Pokey Bombs.

Pokeys are also used for feeding level 1 and 2 Drull.
