Sea chimps
The sea chimps are a species of sea monkeys who appear in the episodes "King Plankton" and "Pet the Rock."

Role in series
"King Plankton"
They are given by SpongeBob to Karen so she could take care of them, but Plankton uses this as a way of practicing ruling. However, since his ways of ruling are cruel, the sea chimps try to sacrifice him through Patrick's tongue, but almost get eaten as Patrick decides to drink the water in the aquarium the sea chimps live in.
Plankton decides to bring them all together in his size belt and they become big when they reach the inside of Patrick. When they see the Chum Bucket as a place for them to stay, Plankton abandons the bucket.
"Pet the Rock"
One appears in a tank at the pet store.
