A beetle capable of eating dung in order to store it for later or to help perform Tech.

On-Ball Ability: Get Stuffed

Potato gets ready, then chows down on the held ball up to three times, stuffing itself. (20s cooldown)

This can be used to store dung inside of yourself to then protect it more than just having it out available to be stolen by others. If you get headbutted you will drop one of your stored dung.

Off-Ball Ability: Potato Gun

While Stuffed, Potato spits out a ball. Hold to charge. While not stuffed, Potato dashes, chomping balls and reducing their sizes. (10s cooldown)

The shot can be used to clear balls away in a direction or to boost yourself or balls with its momentum. On defense typically you do not want to have any dung inside of you at most times so that you have access to the dash. Dashing into a not cracked gold ball with remove 1 level of dung to it, making it no longer a gold and unable to be scored on the net until another dung is merged into it.

Passive: Full Belly

The more stuffed Potato is, the stronger its headbutt is (max 3.)

Not that useful in a regular match apart from setting up combos such as a Boost or if you are against a small beetle such as a Ladybug.

While not mentioned in the description, your headbutt cooldown also gets lowered with each consumed dung ball, the cooldown reduction appears to be ~0.7 seconds per dung ball, but this is just an estimate.
