Not to be confused with:

The Oobuists
Group of Tarvuist mystics, very much on the fringes of Tarvuism, who lobby for Oobu the Holy Octopus to be considered as holy as Tarvu. Despite their fringe status, they still claim a stipend from the Givil. Led by the charismatic Ytranius MdLuntl, a former practitioner of Kabbalah.

Above: To the Oobuists, Oobu, as well as Tarvu, are Lord and Octopus of the Universes.
