Pug-Z

Pug-Z is the rocket companion featured in Lego Worlds that is used to travel between worlds.

Usage
To use Pug-Z, the player must approach it and press the Q key (Y on Xbox One or triangle on PS4) when prompted. Doing so will play a mounting animation and open the World Navigation Menu, where the player can select a world to travel to.

Travelling to bigger worlds requires you to upgrade your spaceship with Gold Bricks, however, which can be acquired by completing quests for Characters nearby you, by catching Troublemakers or from Large Chests. Each world size you want to travel to requires a specified Pug-Z upgrade accumulated with gold bricks, which can be loaded into Pug-Z one at a time through an animation.

Upgrading
Every time the player fills Pug-Z with enough gold bricks to unlock a new world size, Pug-Z gets a visual upgrade. Inbetween visual updates, there are tool unlocks.

Dialogue
Upon full release, Pug-Z took over the role of loading menu dialogue. In Beta versions of the game, the loading menu was simply a black screen with white text at the bottom. The text now appears inside of a thought bubble belonging to Pug-Z.
