GOLB

"GOLB would say ice cream is without meaning. Just empty calories devoid of purpose."

- Ice King on GOLB.

GOLB is the final and overarching antagonist of the 2010-2018 Cartoon Network TV series Adventure Time.

He serves as one of the main villains of season 9 alongside Uncle Gumbald.

Biography
Prior to events of the series, GOLB was supposedly created The Lich, and possibly sent him as a Catalyst Comet to destroy all life, as seen on "Evergreen".

GOLB first appears near the end of "Puhoy" where old Finn bounces of his tongue when Finn goes back home to his reality from the Pillow World, after the dimension gets destroyed.

He then makes an appearance in "You Forgot Your Floties" while Betty is viewing Magic Man's mind and memories. It's revealed in the episode that GOLB attacked Mars some time ago and kidnapped Magic Man's wife, Margles. In Magic Man's memory it shows himself and his brothers, Grob Gob Glob Grod talking about GOLB returning so Magic Man builds a security system in the form of Margles to protect themselves. He later changes his mind claiming that GOLB isn't coming back.

In "Whispers", The Lich refers himself as the last scholar of GOLB, hinting that he is possibly a follower of GOLB.

Near the end of the episode "Temple of Mars" Betty talks to Magic Man (now known as King Man) about her plan to save Simon and get Margles back from GOLB.

In the four-part finale "The Ultimate Adventure", GOLB was summoned by King Man, Betty, and Maja to Ooo. After he comes to Ooo, Ice King realizes in his past memory, which states that GOLB is the embodiment of "every chaos where he lurks". he began corrupt Gumbald's soldiers, and turning them into a monster. The monster battles with Candy Kingdom and Gumbald's army. When the fight continues, Ice King distracts Betty's meditation and GOLB swallows them. Finn also follows them, and he loses his robotic arm when GOLB closes his jaw. His monster also mutates a Gumball Guardian.

GOLB begins to digest them, by reverting them back to their past selves (except Finn), Simon and Betty reunited once again, as they embrace each other as the space they are trapped in begins to shrink. With the bulk of Candy Kingdom army defeated, the monster Gumball Guardian and revived mutated Gumbaldian army begin to wreak havoc on the rest of Ooo. Jake, transforming into his blue form, tries to stop them, but the treehouse is destroyed with BMO inside. Jake is devastated after seeing the wreckage, but is comforted by BMO, who has suffered damages to his face screen. BMO begins singing "Time Adventure", which prevents GOLB's mutated monsters from touching them. Eventually, realizing that GOLB's essence is vulnerable to music, Finn and Jake's friends and allies join in on the singing. Jake is able to amplify the sound of their voices, which allows Finn and Ice King escape from inside GOLB, but Betty decides to stay instead to make a wish. She wishes for Simon to be protected, which causes her to become one with GOLB. The battle ends with a victory and GOLB/Betty leaves the Land of Ooo through a portal.
