Nebulon
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Nebulon is an alien who is seen in space and on the moon. He first appeared on Main Page 1, but he was not named until The Cheat's cartoon New Boots. According to Strong Bad in the cartoon, no one likes Nebulon's style. Since then, Nebulon has made a number of cameo appearances as either a drawing or a cardboard cutout, but he has never actually appeared as a real character in any Homestar Runner cartoon or Strong Bad Email. He has also never been known to say anything.
Nebulon made a brief appearance in the sole episode of Limozeen's space cartoon. He also appeared in an Easter egg in the email narrator, where Marzipan (as some type of enormous alien cow) says she has always admired Nebulon's style. (Nebulon seems less than pleased by this statement.) He made another appearance as a cardboard cutout in the email senior prom, where the theme was "Entrapment All Up On the Moon". Homestar Runner also has a pair of Nebulon slippers.
Nebulon is also the boss of Stinkoman 20X6 Level 5. This version of Nebulon is based on Pogo, the main character of the Commodore 64 game "Nebulus" (Hewson, 1987). However the 20X6 Nebulon is bigger and stronger: the Stinkomanual says that he's been working out. When you beat Nebulon, 1-Up repeats the phrase "Get out of here, Nebulon! No one likes your style!"
The Poopsmith wore a Nebulon-styled inner tube in keep cool. When he was forbidden from entering Strong Bad's pool, he slumped his shoulders, and Nebulon's exit sound was heard.
