Flankton is a puppet version of Plankton that appears in the episode "For Here or to Go."

Description

It is a paper bag colored in to look like Plankton. It has two white bendy straws used for the antennas, crinkle-cut French fries for the arms, and two fangs in his mouth, a red eye with a yellow iris and an eyebrow made to look exactly like the real Plankton.

Role in episode

Mr. Krabs uses his claw and makes the bottom of the bag fold over to create a ventriloquism-type effect to delay Plankton from getting a Krabby Patty before destroying it.

Trivia

• "For Here or to Go" is not the first episode to reference Flankton. Plankton makes up the name in a moment of panic in "Free Samples," when he is asked if he was the one giving out chum samples previously. He identifies Flankton as his brother-in-law.
