Trivia

  • He and Mr. Lucky are the only Gnomes that will not try to hurt the player.
    • They are also the only Gnomes that can't be hurt by the player.
  • He is the only known Gnome to wear pink while the rest wear either red, green, blue or yellow.
  • When near his shop, a green radio will play music from Infinity Time.
  • Before the Trials of Gnomus DLC was released, his shop could be seen under construction. The day before the Trials of Gnomus DLC was released, his shop was finished, but was closed.
  • According to a message that appeared in the player's mailbox, Rux has a grandmother who he refers to as "Grammy-gnome".
  • It is possible that some of Rux's voice clips are a high-pitched voice of Gnomus the Gnome King.
  • It is possible that Rux is a parody of Xur, an exotic item vendor from the game Destiny, given that they are both elusive vendors and they only appear during certain times, not to mention that the name "Rux" is the reversal of "Xur". The color of his briefcase matches Destiny's exotic item color, gold.
  • There are 2 Destiny ghost shells hidden in his beard found only on PopCap's official photo of Rux
