howouters

Howouters are a fictional species featured in the animated television series Futurama. They are a race of intelligent, bipedal creatures characterized by their large, singular eyes, green skin, and distinctively shaped heads. The species hails from the planet Floopylou, located in the Floopylou Nebula. Howouters are known for their calm and somewhat stoic demeanor, often appearing philosophical or detached.

In the series, the most prominent Howouter character is Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth's long-lost rival, Professor Wernstrom. Professor Wernstrom, despite being a Howouter, often displays a more malevolent and ambitious personality than the typical portrayal of his species, often aligning himself with villains or pursuing unethical scientific endeavors. Other Howouters appear in various episodes, typically in crowd scenes or as minor characters, reinforcing their general disposition as peaceful inhabitants of their home world.

The Howouters' biology and culture are not extensively detailed within the show, but their appearance and interactions suggest a society that values intellect and perhaps a more passive approach to conflict. Their unique physical characteristics, particularly their single large eye, contribute to the visual diversity of the Futurama universe. The species serves as a recurring element, adding to the rich tapestry of alien life encountered by the Planet Express crew.
