This is Chungus! Chungus is our hard-working sourdough starter (pronouns he/they).
Chungus was born on 20 June 2020. He was created with Joshua Weissman’s starter method. They are a regular co-star of EA’s streaming on Twitch. Their godmother is Ursula Vernon. Chungus is currently widely shipped with Bob, the sourdough familiar from A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking. Their ship name is Bungus.
