I don’t mean this in a perverted way but I find Rubbery Men kind of sweet.
Oh, definitely. They’re thoroughly endearing!
In a Zoidberg-like way
Yes, they are really sweet. They are easy to trick into giving you amber and when they gurgle I just can’t help gurgling at them merrily back. I’ve never understood the tradition of throwing bricks at them. Not that it stopped me from enjoying it though…

Why would anyone say “No!” when they could say “Are you on Prisoner’s Honey, Madam?”
Cute? No! Amiable and interesting, sure!
I’m gonna have to say no on this one, especially after the art update that made their appearances more faithful to squids. They can certainly be sweet and endearing, though.
But of course! Those rubbery visages drew me to the game.
They are very cute, though I prefer the light green of the Boneless Consort to the usual, more greyish tint.
Rubbery Men are pretty adorable.
Is there an opportunity to have a rubbery pet like we have kittens and weasels? I’d have one. I’d even give it a Gift of a Name. Thrythysthreexn or Scrthrtrhr. And I’d go like 'Thrythy! Come 'ere! That’s a good boy! Been feeling lonely without the Master, ‘aven’t we?’.
And Thrythy would come, and hop around, and wriggle its tentacles, and be jolly, and look at me with its expressive squid eyes! What a great creature for a friend!
And I’d occasionaly feed it with the finest amber. Only I’m not sure if they eat it or produce it as a result of eating something else. I’m knew to rubbereering, see. Just an amature.

A Rubbery Pet can be found in Flute Street, a fate-locked area. And it does have tentacles, expressive eyes, and at a size small enough to not require a suit.

But c’mon. There’s nothing in life that can’t be improved by a good suit.

Fancy seeing you in this thread.
I confess to being an ex-murderer of Rubbery Men. I killed many, many of them when I first arrived in London. But who among us would not have responded in the same way, when confronted with such vile, inhuman wretches? Slimy, slithering, oozing, disgusting beasts! Foul! FOUL!
I, uh… I am completely reformed now. Completely. I marvel in the diversity of London and its inhabitants and am quite happy to coexist with our Rubbery brethren.
Also there may have been a tiny bot of extortion going on in that I am being sporadically paid off in order not to stab them any more. But that is totally not the reason that I stopped.
London’s ecology has so far exceeded my expectations I’m not quite sure where to begin, but I do count the Rubbery Men among the most charming inhabitants I’ve encountered thus far. Absolutely fascinating, and - while this isn’t completely scientifically relevant - thoroughly adorable. I’d love to get a better idea of their anatomy, but proper communication eludes me still. Something to think over on another day.

I’m well threatening in red. That’s nice! :-)

How could one dislike our plastic brethren? I am sure that, despite their unusual appearance, they are children of god just as we are, and somewhere under those tentacles lurks a soul.
And that is precisely why we must bring them the gospel! And yet, for some reason, the Bishop of Southwark refuses to support my proposed mission to Flute Street!
A soul, you say… Now, that’s interesting. Is that for sure? The reason I ask is that I’ve somehow never noticed devils take interest in our rubbery fellows. Might that be because they are soulless or is there a lack of a propper extraction technology for a rubbery one yet?
