Ishbo is the younger son of Mookoo , the leader of a tribe of cavemen. Ishbo is smarter than most of his tribesmen, but awkward and nerdy, living in the shadow of his much more physically impressive brother Thudnik . He hopes to use his... superior intellect to become an inventor and raise his tribe above simple sticks and stones, but due to a combination of the flimsy materials available to him and the lack of support from his tribe they always fail. Ishbo also has had a lifelong crush on his childhood friend, Fardart . Much to his dismay, immediately after he finally expresses his love to her she is "clubbed" by Thudnik , and eventually married to him.
