"Say, thanks!" - Eel, "Walking Small"
The eel, also known as Incidental EHS5, is a minor character who first appears in the episode "Walking Small."
Names[]
- In "Walking Small," Plankton nicknames him "pencil neck."
Description[]
He is an olive green (927) eel with a light green (555) dorsal fin running down his back. He also has a small light brown (1174) straw fedora with a purple stripe (745) on his head. His body is long and wavy in appearance.
Incidental EHS5[]
He wears a standard Empty Head Society fez.
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 SpongeBob's ice cream. In "The Nitwitting," an "EHS" incidental of him was created.
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 Patrick use him to electrocute each other and Squidward.
"Mall Girl Pearl"[]
He is one of the many characters seen in the background at the Bikini Bottom Mall. He is shown walking in front of the Scorched Coral store while holding a shopping bag.
"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.
"Say Awww!"[]
He is part of the pyramid that the Bikini Bottomites form in order to escape from Q.T.-π. He is also seen waiting in line for the Glove Launch.
"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!"
