Eefo

2024Fan art / pixel art memeactive

Also known as: Etho Amogus

Eefo is a fan-made meme that turns Minecraft YouTuber EthosLab into a tiny Among Us crewmate shape. It started during a HermitCraft "Guess the Build" game in May 2024 when player Skizz constructed a blocky pixel figure of Etho that accidentally looked like an Amogus character1. The joke exploded beyond its Minecraft origins in summer 2025 when fans plastered Eefo drawings across Wplace, a collaborative pixel art world map2.

Overview

Eefo takes EthosLab's Minecraft avatar and squashes it into the iconic Among Us crewmate silhouette. Etho's skin is based on Kakashi from *Naruto*, featuring one visible red eye and a dark color scheme2. Skizz recreated this look using dark blocks and a single red block, but the simplified shape came out looking exactly like an Amogus character1. The result is a tiny, instantly recognizable figure that blends two massive gaming fandoms into one cute image.

The nickname "Eefo" predates the meme itself. HermitCraft member SmallishBeans (Joel) pronounces "Etho" in a way that sounds like "Eefo" due to his accent, and fans adopted the pronunciation as a term of endearment2. When Skizz's build went viral, the community immediately slapped the "Eefo" label on it.

On May 27, 2024, YouTuber Grian uploaded a "Guess the Build" video featuring HermitCraft members2. The game works like Pictionary in Minecraft: players construct something and others try to guess the subject. At the 7:55 timestamp, Skizz began building his interpretation of EthosLab1. Using minimal blocks in Etho's dark color palette with one red pixel for the eye, Skizz produced a figure that looked far more like an Among Us crewmate than a Minecraft player2.

Around the 32:36 mark, players Joel and Gem correctly guessed it was Etho2. The chat and comment section went wild. The accidental Amogus shape combined with Etho's beloved status in the community made the image instantly memeable.

That same day, Redditor u/fluffysparks posted a series of sketches of the build to r/HermitCraft, pulling in over 1,300 upvotes within a year2. The next day, u/wixelt shared fan art redrawing Etho as the Amogus build, earning over 1,100 upvotes2. Commenter u/Long-Dock replied simply, "Eefo:)," and that two-word comment picked up over 120 upvotes on its own2.

How It Spread

Eefo became a running joke across the HermitCraft fandom throughout the rest of 2024. On June 16, 2024, Redditor u/ICantUseThereRight posted an "Eefo habitat" they had built in their Minecraft world, designed to look like a hamster cage with Eefo inside it, earning over 1,100 upvotes on r/HermitCraft2. By August 30, u/ConfusedJellybeans shared a photo of an Eefo built from real wooden blocks, also clearing 1,100 upvotes2. Fans kept finding new ways to bring the character into the physical world and other games1.

The meme's second life kicked off in late July 2025 when Wplace launched. Wplace is a collaborative online canvas built on a world map, where users place colored pixels every 30 seconds, similar to Reddit's r/place1. As the site went viral (especially in Brazil and Germany), gaming communities rushed to claim territory with fan art1. HermitCraft fans were among them, drawing Eefos in cities across the map.

On August 7, 2025, X user @VovoDear_ posted a screenshot from Wplace showing a giant Eefo being constructed near Newfoundland, Canada, with an even larger outline below it2. The post read "so we've embarked on another bigger eefo" and pulled over 6,000 likes in a single day1. The next day, Redditor u/I_am_a_tomatoooo posted an "Everywhere I Go, I See His Face" meme to r/WplaceLive showing multiple Eefos scattered across the map, earning over 350 upvotes2. One fan captured an Eefo placed in a tiny Kentucky town called Dingus, turning the screenshot into its own joke about how far the meme had spread1.

How to Use This Meme

Eefo works in a few different formats:

Pixel art: The most common form. Use 2-3 colors (dark body, one red pixel for the eye) to create a small Among Us-shaped figure in Etho's palette. This works in Minecraft, on pixel canvas sites like Wplace, or in any grid-based art tool.

Fan art remixes: Draw Eefo in different scenarios, templates, or crossover settings. Fans have inserted Eefo into the "Loss" comic, built "Eefo Henge" (a Stonehenge made of Eefos), and layered the character into existing meme formats1.

Spot-the-Eefo screenshots: Take a screenshot of an Eefo hidden or placed somewhere unexpected (a random world map location, a game lobby, a real-world craft project) and share it with a caption like "Everywhere I go, I see his face" or just "Eefo."

The meme typically works best when Eefo shows up where you don't expect it. The humor comes from the character's absurd simplicity and ubiquity rather than from any punchline.

Cultural Impact

Eefo's jump from a niche Minecraft community joke to a globally visible pixel art meme happened almost entirely through Wplace. Media outlets covering the Wplace trend in summer 2025 noted that Among Us-style crewmates were among the most drawn figures on the map, and Eefo rode that wave as a specialized variant1.

The meme holds a unique position as a crossover between two massive gaming communities. As one fan put it, "It's like Among Us but HermitCraft"1. This blend gave HermitCraft fans a way to mark territory and signal community membership on a platform full of competing fandoms.

The simplicity of the design made Eefo especially effective on Wplace. A basic Eefo takes just a handful of pixels, meaning a single person could draw one in under a minute, while larger collaborative Eefos became group projects that strengthened community bonds1.

Fun Facts

The "Eefo" pronunciation comes from HermitCraft member SmallishBeans (Joel), whose accent makes "Etho" sound like "Eefo." Fans were already using it before the meme existed2.

Etho's Minecraft skin is based on Kakashi Hatake from *Naruto*, which is why the avatar has one red eye and a face covering2.

One of the earliest Eefo sightings on Wplace was in a Kentucky town literally called Dingus1.

The original Grian video where Eefo was born is a "Guess the Build" challenge, meaning Eefo started as something players had to figure out, not something anyone planned to go viral1.

Joel and Gem were the players who correctly guessed Skizz's build was Etho during the game2.

Derivatives & Variations

Eefo Henge:

A ring of Eefo figures arranged to mimic Stonehenge, built collaboratively on Wplace[1].

Eefo Loss Edit:

The famous "Loss" webcomic panels with Eefo replacing the original characters[1].

Physical Eefo Builds:

Fans recreated Eefo using wooden blocks, cross-stitch, and other craft materials. One wooden block version on r/HermitCraft earned over 1,100 upvotes[2].

Eefo Habitat:

An in-game Minecraft build resembling a hamster cage with an Eefo living inside[2].
