Role in series

The eel has made a few appearances throughout the series so far. He was firstly designed to be a beachgoer that steals Template:Data:Links's ice cream. In "The Nitwitting," an "EHS" incidental of him was created.

Major roles

"Walking Small"

He steals SpongeBob's ice cream cone in line for the stand by sliding through his holes. When SpongeBob is not assertive enough, Plankton gets inside his mouth and yells at him, demanding he hands over the ice cream or else "every waking moment of [his] life will be filled with pain and misery." The eel bursts into tears, and tosses the ice cream cone into SpongeBob's face as he runs off bawling. Plankton passes them off to SpongeBob as "tears of joy," erroneously stating he was happy to see SpongeBob being assertive.

"Enchanted Tiki Dreams"

SpongeBob and Template:Data:Links use him to electrocute each other and Template:Data:Links.

"The Nitwitting"

Incidental EHS5 appears as one of the members of the Empty Head Society where he is seen pouring his saliva in the jar. He is also part of The Nitwitting.

"SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout"

He is one of the guests attending SpongeBob's party where he steps on Plankton several times while dancing.

"Abandon Twits"

He is seen eating ice cream while watching the Krusty Krew push the S.S. Sea-cret Formula to Goo Lagoon.

Trivia

• In "Walking Small," he is seen to have the power to stretch over long distances. This may have meant to be done, as eels are usually long and skinny.
• Plankton was the only one to give him a nickname (Pencil neck).
• In a July 25, 2021 Twitter reply, Sherm Cohen expressed intent "to include him in a show!"
