Augie is a giant Rabbid believed to be the deity of Beacon Beach, making him the planet's warden. He is a nod to characters in Greek mythology: His name is a reference to Augeas, the demigod king for whom Heracles had to clean the stables in one of his labors; his clothing and affinity to the sea make him similar to Poseidon; and his backstory as the disliked son living in his brother's shadow may be a reference to Hephaestus or Iphicles.
History
Background
Augie is considered by Beacon Town's citizens as a god. This gave Augie the idea to act as one, even erecting a temple for himself full of portraits that depict his myths as the shameful and disastrous twin who was in the end banished from the gods' home to protect Beacon Beach. His self-victimization was intentional to appear more sympathetic.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
When the heroes arrive to Beacon Beach after Cursa covers the planet in Darkmess, Augie fearfully attempts to shoo them away, believing them to be Spark Hunters. When Beep-0 explains to him the situation, Augie tells them what is going on on his planet and appears after every main event to congratulate the heroes for their work. He later gets scared when Edge appears, mistaking her for a Spark Hunter before she corrects him.
Profiles
Memory
Research into the warden of Beacon Beach, Augie, reveals a myriad of known traits - insecure, attention-seeking, irresponsible, impulsive, cowardly, childish, gluttonous, entitled, dishonest, poor hygiene. Yet the ones that come up most often are "kind-hearted" and "lovable". How these characteristics can be made compatible is beyond my current comprehension. I will have to investigate further.
