Jonah Melville

From Wikitrix

Jonah Melville is a hunter of rare animals, more commonly known as a poacher. He takes the animals he captures and sells them to the highest bidder. He often uses the cover of an animal-rights activist (Friends of Fish) in order to disguise his activities. Jonah Melville appears in the episode "The Krakken", where he tries to steal the Krakken's eggs. He is defeated by Ripjaws and the Krakken and arrested.

Jonah's name is a combination of two names that are associated with large water creatures: Jonah, the Biblical figure that was swallowed by a large fish (which Melville nearly was by the Krakken), and Herman Melville, one-time sailor and later writer of Moby-Dick, a story of a sea captain's obsession with a huge white sperm whale.
