They are sometimes seen with a man in an orange/yellow costume that fully covers the body.

Biography
Gudetama is hard to motivate and has a negative, defeatist attitude. On their official Twitter account's profile comment, they say that they go through trouble and murmur every day and that they only do it (tweets?) because "great people" told them to. They believe that some day they will be eaten. [5]
They are not always unhappy, as they put a smile on in a video asking people to vote for them, but unfortunately someone put them down saying that they was "desperate". [6]
