	'''Rumble Red''' is an [[Aliens\|alien]] who first appeared in the [[Old-Timey]] era to [[The Homestar Runner]], presumably after his [[Unidentified Flying Object\|UFO]] crashed into a factory. He later conversed with [[Limozeen]] [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"\|in space]] on an unidentified planet.

	Rumble Red is a humanoid with pincers instead of hands, horn-shaped ears, and three eyes that blink sequentially. He frequently adds the word ~~"~~rumble~~"~~ after or during sentences. He also often mentions the lack of Earth amenities (such as [[Polymascotfoamalate\|polymascotfoamalate]] and [[Decemberween]]) on his home planet, which The Homestar Runner finds very annoying. [[Old-Timey Marzipan]] doesn't appear to like Rumble Red either, as she appears to [[Death\|kill him]] with a [[Old-Timey Marzipan's Contraption\|Decemberween gift]] in [[Decemberween Short Shorts]].
