Fuzzy Acorns is a karate instructor who appears in the episode "The Way of the Sponge."

Description

He is a faded brown tarsier with light gray hair tied into two ponytails and wears a white karate gi with a black belt. He has a long, bendy sheered tail with faded red hair and large, dark gray eyebrows. He wears a red-orange headband and his eyes are not visible.

Role in episode

He is Sandy's instructor and known as "The World's Meanest Karate Instructor," according to SpongeBob. At first, Fuzzy believes that SpongeBob does not have what it takes to be a master karate warrior and harshly calls him a "sorry excuse for a student." However, he changes his mind and realizes how wrong he was when he sees the impressive skills SpongeBob demonstrates at the Krusty Krab. It is also shown that he has trained himself to hold his breath for hours without needing air. Fuzzy is the owner of the "blacker belt," but later gives it to Sandy.

Near the end of the episode, he loses his air and puts on an air helmet.

Trivia

• Fuzzy's last name is Acorns despite never being referred to as a squirrel.
