The ​Barracuda ​is the sole antagonist of Disney/Pixar's award winning animated feature ''​Finding Nemo. ''​Despite having very little screen time, his impact on the story and it's main protagonist Marlin makes him a very important and pivotal character.

​​Role
The Barracuda's appearance was at the start of the film when Marlin and his wife Coral were enjoying the view of their new Reef and anenome home with a breathtaking view of the ocean. The two are seen having fun and admiring the nearby neighbourhood and later watching their eggs sleep. After goofing around inside the anenome they leave only to discover that the barracuda was watching them. Marlin ordered Coral to go inside the anenome however she ignores him in favour of the babies and swims towards them, attracting the barracuda towards her and the babies. Marlin in shock reacts quickly and immediatly swims to his wife's aid only for the barracuda to engage in a short battle with him leading to him whacking Marlin with his tail knocking him unconscious. He eats Coral and the all of the eggs except Nemo due to him not noticing him. His impact on Marlin leaded to the latter becoming incredibly paranoid and overprotective leading to Nemo getting tired of his father's overprotectiveness and becoming rebellious, leading to the entire plot of the movie unfolding.

​Appearance
He is a long, slender Barracuda with navy skin, long jaws with teeth that overlap. He also has grey eyes and black stripes on his skin as wel as four fins.

​Trivia

 * He was originally supposed to have a small ammount of more screen time however due to those working on the film fearing that children would be frightened of the barracuda these ideas were dropped.
 * One theory about the barracuda was that he isn't just a simple predator and that he was in fact the original lover of Coral but she left him for Marlin, causing him to hold a grudge on her and seek revenge by killing her, her lover and her family. With the supposed reason he didn't kill Marlin and Nemo being that he assumed they would die anyway due to him hitting Marlin over the head and since Nemo's egg was damaged.
 * In real life barracudas don't eat clownfish.
