Biography[]
The Night of the Dolphin[]
At the time, Lisa was unaware of both his sentience and maliciousness as she had only witnessed him being mistreated by the guests at the ocean park Snorky was housed and as such decided to free him out of sympathy. This degradation along with humanity's less than stellar treatment of dolphins served as the primary reason for his genocidally misanthropic hate.
Once being released, Snorky took control over his army of dolphins again and they started killing people swimming in the sea. Encouraged by their success, the dolphins eventually dared to leave the ocean and after marching towards the town on their caudal fins, they continued with killing random citizens.
Snorky interrupted the town meeting and took the stage instead of Mayor Quimby. He revealed himself to be able to speak English and in the following speech he explained the dolphins used to live on land, but were vanished to the ocean by humans. As dolphin king, he then banished all humans to the ocean. However, the citizens chose to resist instead and began a terrible battle which they lost, causing Snorky's dolphins to kick them to the ocean definitely.
