| ~ The Island Head Beast's one line when played backwards. |
The Island Head Beast is a minor antagonist in the Gravity Falls franchise, serving as the main antagonist of the short film Tooth, part of the Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained series. It is a giant supernatural floating head that lives in Lake Gravity Falls, pretending to be an island. Upon being disturbed by the Pines twins, it tried to eat them.
It was voiced by Frederick Tatasciore.
Appearance[]
The Island Head Beast was a floating head roughly the size of a house. It seemed to have grayish skin and was covered in algae, with trees on its head. It had glowing eyes and was missing a tooth.
Personality[]
From what little is seen of it, the Island Head Beast was a dangerous and hostile creature that responded negatively to being awakened. It seemed to have a somewhat alien intelligence and believed that being eaten was its prey's destiny. It had a habit of spitting its teeth out, possibly by accident.
Biography[]
The Island Head Beast's origins are unknown, but it is implied to have been brought to our dimension from the Nightmare Realm through a portal built by Native American Chieftan Modoc the Wise at the behest of Bill Cipher. It has lived in Gravity Falls for a fairly long time, and is known to the locals, who advise staying away from the island it pretends to be, particularly if you see bubbles. It was studied by Stanford Pines, who recorded it in his journal.
At some point, the Island Head Beast spit out a tooth onto the beach, which caught the attention of Dipper Pines. Dipper began researching the creature and went out to sea it on a rowboat with his sister Mabel. When they got to close, the creature rose out of the water, prompting the twins to flee. The Island Head Beast attacked them and sunk their boat, but lost another tooth in the process, before presumably retreating back into the lake.
