— Orange fish, "Pizza Delivery"
|
The orange fish is a fish character who first appears in the episode "Pizza Delivery." His color key is accidentally used for Scooter in "Friend or Foe," and the fish later makes a second physical appearance in "Senior Discount." He is also an NPC in the video game Legend of the Lost Spatula.
Description
He is a dark orange fish with a lighter orange dorsal fin. He wears a purple shirt and bright teal shorts. He has round yellow eyes at the top of his head with bags under them. His feet are long and rounded. He also has belly hair.
Role in series
"Pizza Delivery"
Template:Data:Links arrives at the orange fish's house, and when the orange fish gets the pizza, he gets mad at SpongeBob for not bringing his drink, a Diet Dr. Kelp in particular. He refuses to pay for the pizza and slams the door in front of SpongeBob's face.
The orange fish later receives his payback after Template:Data:Links slams the pizza box into his face.
"Friend or Foe"
In the crowd scene, the orange fish's color key is mistakenly used for Scooter. In the series, background characters each have a color key used to identify their colors, and they are often accidentally applied to the wrong characters. In this example, the orange fish's colors were used for Scooter.
"Senior Discount"
He appears as a customer at the Krusty Krab. He is sitting with Incidental 107 and holds an order of kelp fries.
Role in video games
Legend of the Lost Spatula
He is an NPC that the player can talk to. He tells you to go to Mrs. Puff's Boating School at the beginning of the game, and like other NPCs, he gives you basic tips such as the game's controls. He can be found walking around in front of his house, which is located at the right of SpongeBob's house. His dorsal fin is smaller and some of his colors are changed due to the Game Boy Color's limitations.
