Saraba

Saraba (Japanese: サラバ) is a character who only appears in Chee-Chai Alien. He is an old friend of Li'l Blue. Along with Li'l Blue, Saraba is one of the mascots of the Chalien series.

Saraba first appears when the player starts a new game. He introduces the player to Chaliens for the first time and tells the player that that there are many strange places in space in which creatures exist. He also tells the player that there is a lot of Dark Matter (Japanese: あんこくぶっしつ), which every Chalien has.

Saraba tells the player the Planet Earth (Japanese: ほし ちきゅう) is getting plenty of Dark Matter from space and it is not good for the Earth to get more Dark Matter. In fact, there is a lot of white space surrounding the Earth. He therefore wants the player to remove the Dark Matter, collect it in vials and then use them to fuel rockets to fire into space so that they can explode and make space black again. Noticing the player has a Game Boy Color, he suggests that the player uses the device to rescue Earth and Space by capturing Chaliens from space and gathering dark matter from them. Saraba gives the player tips on where to point the Game Boy Color to collect Chaliens.

Saraba reappears as the player progresses through the game by collecting Dark Matter and firing rockets. At one point, he must battle against Devil, Dark and Psycho in Tournament! Kurukuru Battle. He also introduces the player to Walker after the player fires all six rockets into space. The player must travel a certain distance in Chalien Walk to unlock the Snapping Turtle Pheromone. Saraba also appears when the player collects every Chalien (except Rabuta).
