Character Bio
A pastel green sea otter pirate with typical pirate accessories like a Jolly Roger's hat, a hook, an eyepatch and two wooden peglegs. He enjoys fishing, sailing and eating seafood, especially mussels, which was why he was named Russell. Some fans think that he's a cat, but he's really a sea otter. From the episode, "Whose Line Is It Anyway", his hook is on the left hand. But later on, it is on the right hand for the rest of the series. Russell's initial character design depicted him with a five o'clock shadow, though since his early appearances, it seems as though he shaves regularly. Typically, his vocabulary consists only of 'Yar', though in the episode "Get Whale Soon", he also says things like 'Aha!' and 'Huh?' In the episode "A Sight for Sore Eyes", he was heard speaking and apologizing to the Mole after he accidentally bumped into him. Sometimes, when put in a scary or violent situation, Russell will go insane and start laughing in a crazy manner, as seen in "Get Whale Soon". Because Russell spends most of his time in the water, he is rarely seen with the other characters, though he does appear in a few episodes with Lumpy, although nowadays he seems to appear with all the others as well.
From the episode, "Sea What I Found", when Russell woke up and went to his closet to change his peglegs, it is evident that he almost has no legs.
Since he only has one eye, he's recommended to wear contact lenses as seen in "A Sight for Sore Eyes".
The only three characters Russell killed by accident are Lumpy, Toothy, and The Mole.
