Biography[]
Past[]
It's implied that for the longest time, it was luring multiple fish towards his location with numerous types of bait, having killed hundreds of fish this way by how many skeletons we see on the road to the ice cream shop.
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie[]
Having recently gotten back their Patty Wagon, SpongeBob and Patrick are seen crossing a road full of skeletons, which they are initially oblivious to. They then encounter an ice cream stand with a sign that read "Free Ice Cream", which excites them and has them pull over to the stand. While Patrick seems at first to catch on to what is happening, he dismisses it by yelling to SpongeBob he wants his ice cream of chocolate, to which SpongeBob orders to the ice cream lady for the two of them. She complies and gives her a big plate of ice cream.
However, when SpongeBob tries to grab the ice cream, he gets stuck to it and the arm of the lady. Struggling to get out, he notices that the whole ice cream and arm of the lady is covered with a sticky substance, and suddenly, the ground around him starts shaking to reveal that he's actually on the inside of the mouth of a giant red Frogfish.
Terrified, he bites off the arm of the lady and falls towards the Patty Wagon in which Patrick was on. He then tells him to escape as fast as possible from it, to which the frogfish chases after them.
After having being chased for a while, the ice cream lady from the inside of the frogfish starts trying to convince SpongeBob and Patrick to eat the ice cream, and that it'll let them pet Mr. Whiskers for it, in which the frogfish pulls out another organ that resembles a cat. Having been scared even more than before, SpongeBob tells Patrick to escape the car, and as they do, the Patty Wagon goes over a cliff and has the frogfish follow it and eventually eat it. However, it then gets eaten by an eel ten times its size, which leaves both SpongeBob and Patrick in a shocked state.
