Bet the GASTRONAUTS don't have to pench pennies like this.

–Hollis Forsythe

The Gastronauts are an independent group known to and often compared with the Psychonauts. The name implies the group may be associated with the exploration and understanding of either: 1) the human body, or 2) food.

Background[]

The group is mentioned only briefly in Psychonauts 2, so very little is known about them.

Trivia[]

  • When referenced by members of the Psychonauts, the group is sometimes derogatorily referred to as the "Gastronuts", indicating some bad blood between the two organizations.
    • Hollis Forsythe mentions that the Gastronauts do not worry about their budget nearly as much as the Psychonauts, indicating they are not in such dire financial straits.[1]
  • The name is a play on "gastro-", a word referring to the stomach or the gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract) from the Greek word meaning "belly", combined with "-naut", a term used to refer to an explorer (e.g., Psychonaut).
