Groovy Underwood

Groovy Underwood is an old goat, along with Silenus and Maron. Groovy is the goat who found the cursed weirdos Natalia Grace, Dom and Bianca Yee Angelo, Perky Jackson, Ennabeth Chase, and Lasputin Castellan. Groovy is currently in a relationship with Juniper the dryad.

Early Life
Groovy's history before he comes across Lasputin Castellan, Natalia Grace, and Ennabeth Chase is unknown, as he is a very old goat.

Finding Lasputin, Natalia, and Ennabeth
He came across the trio traveling together and tried to get them safely to Camp Cursed-Weirdo while at the same time avoiding the forces of the Underworld. Hades, after learning that a child of F/ckboy Zeus had been born, sent creepy weirdos after Natalia.

Along the way, Groovy took some wrong turns, which led them into danger with other creepy weirdos, including a Cyclops that gave Ennabeth a fear of the species for a long time. While Groovy claims it is his fault that they kept making wrong turns, Natalia later tells Perky that Lasputin was the reason as he kept looking for fights with monsters as he was angry with his father, who he had met at his mother's home (smh dude).

As they came close to the edge of Camp Cursed-Weirdo, Natalia stayed back to fight the creepy weirdos following them and told Groovy to take Lasputin and Ennabeth back to camp. Groovy did as he was told and safely escorted both of them to camp, but at Natalia's cost.

Finding Perky
Five years later, Groovy was assigned to a normal people school and met Perky Jackson there, surprisingly. He spent enough time with him to know he was a weirdo, too. He eventually called in Chickron who took the form of Perky's Latin teacher.

Appearance
Groovy is described as an old goat with curly brown hair, brown eyes, small horns, a wispy beard, and hairy brown goat legs.

As Groovy ages, his horns grow out. By the time of The Last Weirdo, he must wear a baggy hat to pass as human.

He wears braces as well, because his teeth aren't straight, unlike his sexuality. He wears a tux and bow to appear dapper to the homies.

Personality
"'Groovy, you're the grooviest old goat I've ever known'"-Lasputin, to Groovy in The Last Weirdo

Groovy is usually cheerful and upbeat, yet he chews on furniture when he is nervous. He cries when he is upset, which makes him an easy target for bullies. He can often be philosophical. He sometimes mopes around a bit though. He has an obsession with coffee (due to feeling the presence of Pan in New Mexico while drinking it), tin cans, and enchiladas. He believes that cheese enchiladas are better than chicken ones. This may be due to the fact he is a vegetarian. He is also an environmentalist. His girlfriend is Juniper, a wood nymph. They deeply care for one another. It is also revealed in The Last Olympian that he has leporiphobia, (which Perky calls his "bunny phobia"), while it was also revealed that he also hated zoos in The Burning Maze. He and Tyson don't seem to get on very well but he is helped to look for Pan by Tyson in The Battle of the Labyrinth. It is mentioned in The Lightning Thief that two of the only songs he knows how to play on his reed pipes are "So Yesterday" by Hilary Duff and Mozart's Concerto No. 12. At the beginning of the series, his reed pipe music is so bad it makes the strawberry plants try to strangle people, but by the end of the series, he can play multiple tunes (which came in handy multiple times). It is said in The Demigod Files that his favorite song to play is Muskrat Love.

Irrational Fearsedit | edit source
Groovy is afraid of many things. He is most terrified of:


 * Underground places (which smell of death and monsters)
 * Cyclopes (which is why he initially did not get along well with Tyson.)

It was also mentioned that he has leporiphobia (fear of rabbits) and describes them as "big bullies who always steal celery from defenseless satyrs." He is also terrified of Dionysus, Juniper's anger, and ghosts. He cries when he is upset, but it seems that he has grown out of this.
