Peatmoss

Peatmoss is the kingdom of the Spiny Moles on Erd.

Welcome to Peatmoss
After escaping the robot prison, Lassi and the player discover a massive hole in the ground. They decide to jump in, and find some Spiny Moles. They are greeted by Fontina at a ladder leading further into the hole. Fontina asks them about their escape from the prison, and Lassi tells them about the experience. Then, she asks them where exactly they are. Fontina explains that they're at Peatmoss, the Spiny Mole kingdom. Fontina also mentions that there's a legend in their kingdom where two heroes will descend from the heavens and deliver them to a "worm-filled paradise". They are directed to go speak to the king for more information, so they do exactly that.

A Prophecy
They enter the throne room and meet King Gorgonzola and his assistant, Minister Munster. The king greets them, and

expresses great interest in their magical capabilities. He asks the Minister if perhaps the strange duo are the heroes foretold in their culture's legends and prophecies, and the Minister wholeheartedly agrees. When asked, the minister goes on to explain that their legends speak of a period known as the "doomy times", where heroes from another planet will come to save them. The kingdom believes that right now they are in this time period, as almost all of the gummy worms they can reach have been eaten, and they're slowly running out of food. Lassi expresses frustration and confusion from this revelation, claiming they're just on Erd by accident, but the Minister dismisses it as humility. The king also dismisses Lassi's pessimism, and asks the Minister to fetch the prophecy books.

There are two books, the Book of Darkness and the Book of Light. Which book is read from first depends on which element you chose at the beginning of the game. The Minister begins to read the prophecy books, and the reading goes as follows;"'In the doomy times, saviors will appear from a far-off planet and end the reign of the ant queen with the power of magic.'"Lassi asks about the ant queen, and Gorgonzola says that she is the scourge of their people. He requests that the duo finally put an end to their reign, which the player eventually accepts. Lassi is not amused, but they have no choice. Gorgonzola also mentions that the book they read from also foretells that the heroes of their story will deliver the moles to a "wormy paradise", go on to do greater things, and that the spiny moles will be at their side when the time to defeat the most villainous evil comes. The King shows them to a passage to the Ant Hole, and sends them on their way.

The End of the Queen
After defeating the Ant Queen, Lassi and the player come across a chest she left behind that contains a tool known as the diggy claws. Lassi remarks that the glove looks nasty, but they bring it back to the king anyway. When they return to Peatmoss, all the villagers seem elated to know that the Queen has finally been put down, and so does the king when they speak with him.

The king declares the player and Lassi heroes, and gives them their greatest thanks. He then asks them if they perhaps found anything on the Queen's person. Lassi presents the diggy claws, and the king seems excited to know that they have found what is apparently a legendary tool. Despite it only being useful in the hands of a Spiny Mole, the king urges them to keep it. Lassi declines and just tells the king he should take it, which prompts the king to reach the revelation that the duo are also the heroes foretold in the other prophecy book.

The Minister is once again ordered to fetch the books, this time reading from the second one;"'After forming a bond of friendship with the Spiny Moles, the heroes selflessly refuse the king's reward, caring not for their own happiness and only thinking of the well-being of the Spiny Moles. They will release the sleeping planets from their curse and then will depart for new horizons aboard a ship of light. All dreams of all men shall come true at that moment.'"The king offers the heroes assistance in getting to Puffoon, and the Minister informs them that there is a rocket that lies dormant in Kahve Ruins. In order to use it, the duo needs to find and wake the "star buried in the land where the stars sleep". The king then proclaims they head to the digging grounds once more, where he plans to dig them a hole to the Land Where the Stars Sleep.

When they arrive at the digging grounds, he orders Blarney to stand aside and let the heroes help themselves to some treasures they have found while digging. He then begins his digging journey using the diggy claws, finishing the job in practically no time as the claws have helped him dig through solid rock with ease. The player can then depart Peatmoss. The king, the Minister, and several mole NPCs await them at the exit, and give them a teary goodbye. The king mentions that they can return to Peatmoss at any time if they feel lost, and sends them on their way.
