Intermediate Gods

Lord Fredrik

Lord Fredrik, God of Evil Walruses (The Snowmad King)

Intermediate God
Symbol: The Snowmad Emblem, and his horn
Theme Music: Volcano Dome
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Portfolio: Evil, Fighting Ruler, Agility in Spite of his Girth, Wielding a Magical Horn, summoning ice dragons with said horn, Endless Winter
Domains: Conquest, Ice, Walruses, Vikings
Heralds: The Snowmads (more specifically, the unascended ones)
Followers: Tundra the Walrus, The Walrus , Wally Walrus
Allies: Bashmaster, King Hippo, Ithaqua
Rivals: King K. Rool, Arthas Menethil, Jadis
Enemies: Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Cranky Kong, Elsa Ymir the Tusk, The Lost Vikings, Popo & Nana
Lord Fredrik is the leader of the Snowmads, an army of animals that seeks to conquer anything that gets in their way. Armed with a magical horn that can summon ice dragons and freeze anything in its path, Fredrik initially took over Donkey Kong Island, but was defeated by the Kongs after the apes managed to make their way back to their home. While the Snowmads have some walruses in their army, Fredrik is very agile and powerful, befitting his status as leader.
It was just another normal day in the Pantheon as Pinkie Pie was getting ready for another party, presumably for someone's birthday. The festivities got interrupted by a lone snowflake that somehow extinguished the candle, much to Pinkie Pie's surprise. She and the other partygoers went outside to see what was going one and saw a few ships on the horizon and an ice dragon heading their way. All the partygoers were blown away (not amazed so much as literally blown away from the would-be party-scene) as the ice dragon not only froze the place they were in, but a few others as well. It took the effort of a few deities, including the Kong Krew, to undo the damages, but by then Lord Fredrik, the one responsible, had already settled down and was already making plans for his next steps.
There's an intense rivalry between him and King K. Rool when it comes to who gets to go after the Kong Krew. K. Rool is furious about Fredrik being able to take over Kong Island without much effort, even if it was only temporary. Fredrik thinks that K. Rool is trying way too hard given the Kremling's tendacies to rely on different disguises and schemes that ultimately amount to nothing. If Fredrik or K. Rool aren't going after the Kong Krew, then there's a strong chance that the two are fighting each other's respective armies.
Fredrik managed to strike up a decent friendship with King Hippo, a portly king with great strength much like Fredrik. One time, the walrus managed to watch a boxing match between King Hippo and Donkey Kong and afterwards, Fredrik learned that King Hippo tried to attempt to cover his weakness a few times. This led to the walrus getting ideas on making sure the Kong Krew will have a much harder time fighting him again when it happens.
Elsa has nothing but contempt towards Fredrik. It's one thing to unintentionally cause an Endless Winter as a result of not being able to control ice powers, but to deliberately use it in such a dangerous way such as what Fredrik did with his horn is far worse, especially considering that Fredrik has some degree of royalty given his title. Fredrik hasn't taken Elsa seriously for the time being, but won't hesitate to fight against her if the time calls for it.
Jadis is another ice-centric royal figure that Fredrik has fought gotten into some fights against, though some of it is partially due to her selfishness. Jadis having a spell that can practically destroy the world, alongside having another that can petrify opposing forces caused Fredrik to see her as a potential obstacle in his conquests.
The Lost Vikings were originally minding their own business when all of a sudden, they encountered some animals wearing viking helmets. As the trio made their way through fighting these enemies, they eventually came across Lord Fredrik and were surprised to see that animal Vikings were a thing. The walrus didn't take them seriously to say the least, and the trio is upset that someone like him would perform dangerous actions with his army and power. A quick skirmish resulted in the Lost Vikings retreating and Fredrik warning them not to see him ever again.
Despite being fairly powerful royalty with control over ice, there's a lot of friction between Fredrik and Arthas. The power gap between them is also very drastic, especially with what Arthas is capable of against Fredrik's girth and magic horn. A confrontation between the two ended extremely poorly for the walrus, especially since he wasn't prepared for Arthas' army while trying to take over the latter's place.
Upon finding out that there was another walrus present in the Pantheon, Fredrik decided to seek him out, hoping that he would be useful in trying to defeat the Kong Krew. Ymir the Tusk's ice powers were something that definitely got Fredrik's attention once he caught up to him and Fredrik tried talking to Ymir about joining him and using his powers to defeat Donkey Kong and his allies. However, Ymir had no interest at all in helping out Fredrik and a very icy fight ensued between the two. The two have harbored a significant grudge towards each other since that scuffle.
After his initial defeat by the Kong Krew, Donkey Kong used Fredrik's horn to undo the damages caused by the walrus. Fredrik wasn't told about it until after his arrival in the Pantheon and was enraged by this revelation of how his horn could not only be used by others, but could have other elemental properties depending on its potential user. He has made it a point to keep the horn tightly secured under his control and to prevent anyone from trying to steal it.

Lesser Gods

Ecco

Ecco, God of Sapient Cetaceans (Defender of the Future)

Lesser God
Symbol: A Translucent Crystal
Theme Music: Title Screen theme from the original game, Tides of Time, and Defender of the Future
Alignment: Neutral Good
Portfolio: Time Travel, Weaponized Sonar, Badass Adorable, Heroic Dolphin
Domains: Animals, Ocean, Time
Allies: Aquaman, Sonic the Hedgehog, Future Trunks, Lucina, Nemo, Marlin, & Dory, ABZU Diver
Enemies: Bruce the Shark, Black Manta, Eobard Thawne, Lagiacrus, The Shroobs
Observed by: David Attenborough, Steve Zissou
Ecco the Dolphin has engaged in plenty of unorthodox adventures when it comes to being an aquatic lifeform. When aliens begin to attack Ecco’s home, it’s up to him to set things right by exploring the ocean and traveling through time to fight back against these invaders. He has also fought against a different group of enemies that sought to get rid of the noble traits of dolphins and like plenty of other time-travelers, Ecco had to bear witness to a number of bad futures during his adventures. Ecco is able to use his sonar to interact with other sea creatures, examine glyphs, and get a better idea of what his surroundings are like at the moment.
As Ecco continued his undersea adventures, he managed to find some signs underwater pointing to what appeared to be ruins of an abandoned civilization. While exploring, he learned that there was some sort of technology that this civilization created that allowed users to jump between dimensions, but the technology was at great risk to the point that, if put in the wrong hands, could cause the timestream and various dimensions to collapse unto itself. Despite how desolate these underwater ruins were, a device to allow users to travel dimensions was still active as Ecco was exploring and it didn’t take long for Ecco to find himself in a different world. White it looked like Ecco was still in these ruins after his encounter with the technology, as he exited, discovered an underwater world different and somehow more unusual than before, teeming with life he had never seen prior. Ecco found himself in the Pantheon and while he would continue keeping the oceans safe from extraterrestrial threats like he always has, there would be plenty of additional enemies for him to confront.
Sonic the Hedgehog is no stranger to speeding across beaches in some of his adventures, sometimes getting a glimpse at a dolphin or two on occasion (and sometimes getting chased by an aggressive orca on a bridge). One such run at a seaside area saw him encounter ruins that led to a temple by the ocean and a dolphin, who turned out to be Ecco, looking at them. Having been used to seeing dolphins as a part of speedy sightseeing, Sonic was surprised to learn of a dolphin who was willing to take matters in his own hands and, being the heroic hedgehog he is, was willing to help Ecco navigate that underwater temple and uncover whatever secrets it may hide. After getting past some devious puzzles with Ecco supporting Sonic to ensure that the latter wouldn’t drown after spending too much time underwater along the way (an inverse of Ecco needing to surface for air from time to time), the two managed to make their way out of the temple and while there was only vague clues as to what could happen in the Pantheon later on that others could decipher more easily, Sonic and Ecco got along following their run in the temple, with Ecco sometimes getting a glimpse of Sonic while the latter speeds through seaside areas.
Aquaman quickly became one of Ecco’s most trusted allies when it came to getting across dangers present in the ocean. Thanks to a combination of royalty, communicating with sea creatures (in addition to getting a good handle on some of the bigger monsters that can pose a threat to Ecco), and being a capable fighter, Arthur Curry has helped Ecco navigate several dangers that would prove too much for the dolphin to handle. One such danger was related to one of Aquaman’s sworn enemies, Black Manta, a pirate that is more than willing to kill Aquaman’s aquatic allies as a means to weaken him. Aquaman has his share of powerful sea creatures at hand, but a telepathic dolphin that’s knowledgeable about time-travel was something that Black Manta couldn’t ignore as a threat, especially if it means that he could figure out a way to use time-travel as a means to give Aquaman a harder time after eliminating Ecco.
Ecco has gotten himself acquainted with the varied sea creatures that reside in the Pantheon, often helping out many of the friendlier entities that fall under such a category. The trio of Nemo, Marlin, and Dory are some of the fish that Ecco has become a useful friend towards as while the three have taken to exploring unfamiliar territory to rescue one of their own (despite Marlin’s concerns), the sea can be just as deadly, if not moreso, if they’re not careful especially against unfamiliar dangers. Ecco’s more unusual abilities have been of help for his friends in case they end up in danger and someone like Aquaman isn’t around to keep them safe. There are some sea creatures such as Bruce the Shark (also known as Jaws) lurking around looking to eat Ecco alive or at least leave him mortally wounded, though the dolphin is not without a few tricks to defend himself and his friends.
Besides the different types of sea creatures that many are familiar with, there were a plethora of unusual species that ranged from larger versions of familiar creatures to those that were distinct in many ways, with some of these aquatic lifeforms being far more deadly than even the deadliest of ordinary sea creatures. Some of these entities such as The Meg and the Kraken can easily turn Ecco into their next meal if the dolphin isn’t careful around them. Others such as the Lagiacrus have deadly abilities that make navigating the seas more difficult on top of being aggressive. It would take Ecco’s smarts and the capabilities of someone like Aquaman to ensure that the dolphin would survive any potential encounter with such powerful underwater creatures.
The ABZU Diver was easily able to bond with Ecco due to them exploring underwater worlds and doing what they can to keep such settings beautiful. That she is able to maintain good terms towards some of the more hostile creatures of the ocean has made her someone that Ecco can rely on to navigate the sea. Ecco having traveled through time to prevent extraterrestrials from destroying the oceans fascinated the Diver, alongside the fact that Ecco has some powers to make him distinct from other dolphins and use them to navigate the undersea worlds. Knowing about the possibility of a ruined future for the oceans if nothing is done about it (even if Ecco’s circumstances regarding bad futures are on the unorthodox side for her) has given the Diver more of a reason to keep the ocean beautiful and Ecco is willing to support her mission.
It wouldn’t take long for Ecco to cross paths with a variety of other characters who have traveled through time for varying reasons. He was able to befriend many heroic time travelers such as Future Trunks and Lucina and discovered that there were some in the Pantheon who could manipulate time around them and not just travel through it. Unsurprisingly, Ecco wasn’t able to learn about such direct time manipulation and him meeting other time travelers would get him caught in conflict that involved those that wanted to screw over the timestream such as Eobard Thawne. Given how Ecco’s actions split the timestream in two, it’s caused plenty of time-traveling villains to be willing to take advantage of such an event to try and use it to let the Pantheon be overrun by evil, but Ecco and the other heroes he’s befriended are not letting such a takeover happen.
There were plenty of extraterrestrials that harbored similar destructive tendencies as that of Ecco’s main alien threats, but many are willing to do much more than simply destroy oceans when it comes to taking over worlds. The Shroobs became a major problem not just because of their numbers, skills and their leaders being highly dangerous, but also because of how they were initially fought through time-travel even if the Shroobs don’t really use that ability compared to others that actively want to disrupt the timestream. Ecco himself is one of the more unusual alien fighters given that mostly relies on navigating aquatic areas in order to discover something important. It hasn’t stopped Ecco from being a part of the effort to stop malevolent aliens from taking over the Pantheon even if the enemies’ number is far greater than before.
Ecco’s time-traveling adventures have brought him the attention of David Attenborough and Steve Zissou, both of whom are well-acquainted with exploring and examining the oceans. Ecco’s unusual abilities, combined with having explored strange undersea places, have given the two plenty of ideas on a planned documentary about the unusual side of ocean life. Attenborough in particular was curious about how desolate the futures Ecco explored were, even if the circumstances behind such desolation were more unusual than man damaging the environment. While aliens such as those that Ecco encountered are more of the interest of other, more eccentric individuals that want to document such strange phenomena, Attenborough and Zissou are more focused on how this dolphin can help make the oceans a better place for everyone.

The Orca

The Orca, God of Devious Dolphins (Nickfin)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/orca_600.jpg

Lesser God
Symbol: Himself
Theme Song: His eponymous theme
Alignment: True Neutral if left in peace, Chaotic Evil when crossed
Portfolio: Devious Dolphins, Animal Nemesis, wants revenge for his family's murder and won't give up until achieving it, It Can Think
Domains: Dolphins, Revenge, Intelligence
Heralds: His mate and calf
High Priest: Dr. Blowhole
Followers: Sal
Allies: The Diver
Enemies: Bruce the Shark, The Meg, Hubie and Rocko, Captain Ahab, May (Guilty Gear), Sonic the Hedgehog
Enemy Mine: Moby Dick
Complicated Relations: Melody, Ariel
This orca once terrorized a small fishing town. He was motivated by vengeance against Captain Nolan, a particularly unscrupulous fisherman who had wanted to capture him to sell him to an aquarium. However Nolan screwed up majorly, killing the Orca's mate and their unborn calf instead of capturing his target. The Orca didn't rest until he made Nolan pay for what he did, and he didn't care if he had to hurt people who had nothing to do with what happened to reach his goal. The Orca killed Nolan in a final showdown at a glacial landscape, and then, with nothing else to look forward to, proceeded to swim under the ice to end his own life.
The Orca kept on swimming aimlessly, waiting for his fate. Then a humanoid shape approached him, and his first instinct was to attack to take out his lingering frustrations, but the figure was cloaked in an aura that calmed him, and he discovered he actually couldn't sense anything human about her. He was thus convinced to be guided by her until they came to a small sort of circle to which she sent a signal. To the Orca's exultation, from the circle sprang his mate and his calf who he thought he'd never see again. The Diver, for that is who the figure was, explained such a thing was only possible because they were in the Pantheon and that the Orca had become a god for his deeds.
Because of all of the above, the Diver may be the only deity the Orca fully trusts. After everything that's happened, he has become extremely leery of humans. This isn't to say that he actively goes after them in some sort of murderous Misplaced Retribution, but he steers clear from them and doesn't accept attempts at friendly contact. Although if they try to approach his mate and calf instead, then yes, you can count on him going on a murderous frenzy. In such cases, one had better hope for the Diver to be nearby, as she's the only one who can calm him down.
He doesn't exactly get along better with his underwater neighbors, either. He is an orca, so he is quite firmly at the top of the food chain and is a threat to virtually every member of the Hall of Aquatic Life where he resides. Yes, even sharks and the occasional whale bigger than him. All this makes the Orca kind of a loner, not that he cares as long as he has his family.
- They don't have to be exclusively sea-dwelling animals; the Orca is willing to breach to try and catch penguins and similar animals who hang around the shore. The two penguins Hubie and Rocko now have another reason to be extra-watchful when they go in the sea, not least because they got chased and nearly eaten by one in their adventure and they know how persistent orcas can be.
Ironically for someone who preys on sharks and who even great whites steer clear of, the Orca is an Expy of Bruce, the god who made everyone afraid to go swimming. There are few things Bruce is afraid of, but his instinct to run away flares up when he thinks the Orca might be around, and the Orca will chase him away whenever the shark is too close to his territory, and might even try to make a meal out of him. Sometimes Bruce's hunger gets the better of him and he dares to cross the Orca's territory in search of food, which tends to end in the Orca beating the crap out of him, at least. Since the Orca is a lot less interested than Bruce in eating humans, it's given some deities ideas that they could use the Orca to scare Bruce away from the Pantheon's beaches. The Orca even once saved a human from a great white, though this was before his family's massacre. Convincing him to do any favor for a human now would be troublesome, to say the least.
- With that said, the presence of the Meg, a ravenous shark as big as whale, gives the Orca pause. It's probably a good thing that the Meg lives in a completely different Hall and so rarely crosses paths with him. If the Meg strays too close to the Hall of Aquatic Life, the Orca will try to avoid her as well as he can and protect his family as usual; only if the Meg actively preyed on them would the Orca dare to face her in battle.
The Diver thought it fitting to show Kyogre to the Orca. The Orca turned out to really not want to get too close to Kyogre, likely because he could sense that the sea titan possesses vast power beyond his imagination. The Orca's attitude to Kyogre is one shared with a lot of sea creatures in the Pantheon: a lot of distant respect for an inaccessible being that stands way above them. Kyogre for its part was vaguely interested that there was finally an orca god, considering how the species is the basis for its shape, but doesn't particularly care about him.
Captain Ahab identifies with Nolan's side of the story when it comes to the Orca, and as such feels it is his duty to avenge a fellow seadog. He makes regular excursions to the Orca's territory to try to kill him. Seeing another human similar to Nolan attempt to kill him and his family makes the Orca see red and try to use every trick he can think of to defeat him, just like he did Nolan. After learning that part of Ahab's problem with him has to do with his enmity with a whale called Moby Dick, the Orca went to look at him out of curiosity. Although he kept his distance, he felt a kinship with the whale due to their quarrels with humans. After that, the Orca may sometimes come to assist Moby Dick when Ahab is harassing it; the reverse can also happen, but even less often. They are still different species who would attack each other in any other context.
The Orca's calf sometimes likes to go off on its own despite its father's vigilance, and met and befriend the mermaid princess Melody in one such outing. The Orca didn't like his calf consorting with a half-human whose mermaid mother preferred the life of a human, and Ariel didn't want Melody anywhere near a violent creature who harmed so many people in a quest for revenge, so they separated the children and dictated they weren't to see each other. As if Melody would listen, and the calf, while not yet used to rebelling, is too stoked at having its first friend.
Sonic the Hedgehog is wary of him due to having had multiple bad encounters with orcas in the past. This orca seems to enjoy trying to catch Sonic, although of course, the hedgehog always outruns him.

Oshawott

Oshawott, God of Playful Otters (the Sea Otter Pokémon, Wotter/Derpderp/Snowoobie/Vampijumaru, Ottawa, Mijumaru)

Lesser God

Enemies: Team Rocket, Giovanni, Ghetsis Harmonia, Cyrus, Lysandre, Pokémon Hunter J, Toon Patrol, Mori Motonari , Oda Nobunaga
Opposes: Grass and Electricity users (excluding Pikachu)
Like Popplio, Oshawott is a starter Pokémon in the Pantheon who is at its first stage of evolution, but whose final stage acts as his guardian. Also like Popplio, Oshawott was initially hated for being goofy looking, but then ate their words when he would evolve into a cool Samurai.
Considering he would evolve into a samurai-like Pokémon and has Samurott acting as his guardian, he gets along well with other good-aligned samurai. They often allow him to copy their sword moves because they find it cute to watch him try and copy the movements of sword with a shell, even Samurai Jack considers it to charming despite his stoic nature.
During an expedition around the territories of her Water Tribe, Katara came across this Oshawott, who was trying to make its way across the frigid, harsh waters and cold, and was using its own ability in water and ice to maneuver its way through. Impressed by its abilities and delighted to see how cute the Pokémon looked, Katara approached it, despite warnings from Sokka, which fell on deaf ears. She used her waterbending skills to attract the Oshawott's attention, and that was how the two first met. Sokka witnessed his sister compliment the Pokémon and showing it more of her abilities, which made Oshawott more interested. Sokka tried to throw one of his boomerangs to see how it would react, which Oshawott did by catching and throwing it back upon first notice and using Water Gun on Sokka, much to the latter's displeasure and Katara's amusement. By the time she decided to leave, Oshawott immediately began to follow. Remembering how Aang has a collection of animal allies like Appa and Momo — as well as having Rayquaza as a partner — she decided to allow Oshawott to join and become her partner. Sokka grumbled but decided to accept it, given that Katara does think that someday, her brother and her new Pokémon partner will get along.
Likes to spend time with Emmet & Ma Otter considering they're the only other otters in the pantheon. Apparently he can play his Scalchop as a percussion instrument, but he's a little to eager to play and causes him to be off-rhythm. Still, he's trying and improving and many deities think that it makes the all ready Cute Emmet & Ma band even cuter.
Has a bone to pick with the Toon Patrol considering they're both part of the weasel family. While, Oshawott is playful and friendly, the Toon Patrol are nasty and cruel. Oshawott's first instinct whenever sees any of them is to fight them.
Before Oshawott joined the pantheon, Chuggaaconroy used one during his let's play of Pokémon Black and White where (s)he was used to utterly sweep through Cynthia's team in the final battle. Considering that they were both 'chosen last during gym class', he became allies with him.
Due to his name sounding similar to 'ocelot', some have given him the the nickname Revolver Oshawott. Oshawott really doesn't know what to make of him and considers him and his actions confusing.

Popplio

Popplio, Goddess of Sweet Seals (The Sea Lion Pokémon, Ashimari)

Lesser Goddess

Distrusts: Guzma
Avoids: Lagiacrus, Zinogre, the Eliksni
Opposes: Grass- and Electric-types (sans Pikachu)
Usually, when a Pokémon ascends, if it can evolve, it's often the final stage that takes the spot. That said, there have been several exceptions, like Ash's Pikachu (who staunchly refuses to evolve), both Meowths, Zubat, Magikarp, Scyther (though Scizor is ascended as well), Rhydon (mainly because of Rhyperior's negative reception), Murkrow, Remoraid (who admittedly ascended alongside his evolution Octillery), and Skitty. Joining these exceptions is Popplio, the water Starter Mon for Alola. The reason why is because the trope Sweet Seal calls for "seals portrayed as cute and friendly". And Popplio's final stage, Primarina, has traded off the "cute" aspect for "beauty". Still, there is one assigned to Popplio to guard her new temple in the Hall of Aquatic Life.
For whatever reason, many believe that Popplio's nose makes a honking sound akin to a bicycle horn or clown nose when squeezed or poked. No one's confirming if this is true for varying reasons (either out of respect or because it's funnier to keep it secret).
A lot of people hated Popplio for her uncanny clown-ish appearance. Of course, most of them have since ate their words given what she can evolve into.
Saorise, who can turn into a seal by going in water with her coat, loves playing in the water with Popplio a lot given that there were no other friendly seals in the Pantheon until the Pokémon came around. Sometimes, they get Ben to join in as well. And she's come to hate Lord Frederik as well after hearing how Saorise almost got hurt by him.
As protectors of the sea, Popplio gets along with Percy Jackson and Aquaman, as well as Kingdra, Lapras for being benevolent sea creatures, and fellow Alolans Decidueye (as a fellow starter) and Wishiwashi (as fellow potentially powerful Water-types). She doesn't like Red Gyarados, the Kraken, and Leviathan due to their agressiveness, though.
Popplio enjoys Azura's singing and her grace, as she's a reminder of what she could be upon evolution. The songstress on the other hand appreciates the Pokémon's enthusiasm and potential.
Several are grossed out upon hearing that Popplio's bubble attacks are snorted from her nose.
Stays away from Lagiacrus not only for its obvious affinity with electricity, but for the fact that said shocks leaves victims to being more easily stunned, not to mention its massive size of 2357.2cm - 3310.6cm. To a lesser extent, she stays away from Zinogre and the Eliksni, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem since they primarily dwell on land and both have little reason to actually be hostile to Popplio. Doesn't hurt to be safe, however.

Once there was a boy named Sandy Ricks who met an injured dolphin that he would later name Flipper and it took some time for Porter, Sandy’s father, to warm up to the dolphin. From there, Flipper and his adopted family have taken part in many adventures at the Coral Key Park and Marine Preserve in Florida, helping each other and stopping criminals that get in the way. Flipper would later end up in Bal Harbor in the Florida Keys alongside Dr. Keith Ricks (a grown-up Bud) and his line of work in saving the day and endearing himself to others continued even after Dr. Ricks left. He would even find a place in Quetzo, an underwater civilization within proximity of Illokan islands, and work together with a Lopaka, a boy who is able to communicate with marine life and other animals living in Quetzo. No matter where he lives or who his owner is, Flipper retains a good heart and does his best to set things right if trouble is afoot.
Flipper was at sea one day having finished another successful rescue mission when he saw a small boat headed his way. There was only one person on the boat, but they were given a note to be handed over to Flipper’s owners talking about how useful the dolphin can be in handling problems. The note also mentioned that there were plenty of significant people interested in Flipper both for different reasons and that he would make a great performer for aquatic shows whenever he isn’t out performing heroics. While Flipper has previously been part of Florida and islands far from it, there were going to be a lot more areas to swim at, danger to face, and lives to save after learning of that note and place it originated from.
Ecco was another dolphin with higher-than-normal intelligence for creatures of his kind who saved others from trouble that Flipper easily got along with. Despite similar behavior, Ecco’s adventures across time were far more fantastical than even Ecco’s time in Quetzo and involved much more than just people trying to harm Ecco’s home and friends. These bad futures that Ecco witnessed and tried to prevent involved life being wiped out or enslaved by malevolent races and to learn of such dark possibilities frightened Flipper as it meant that any friends he’d make could fall victim to something that would be extremely difficult, if not outright impossible, for a relatively normal dolphin like Flipper to stop without the help of stronger allies. Knowing how kind-hearted Flipper is, Ecco has opted to help him understand the challenges present in a larger world filled with wonder and how to make the most of his heroism.
Similar to the Ricks family from Coral Key Marine Park and Preserve and later Maya Graham from Bal Harbor, there were humans who were interested in Flipper in the Pantheon and in some cases were willing to have him involved in their studies of marine life. Eliza Thornberry has made several nature documentaries with her family and has a chimpanzee named Darwin who is a loyal member of the team, so the idea of making a documentary about marine life, both living in the ocean and those living in marine preserves, with a dolphin who knows what it’s like to live in both areas, was enticing for her in addition to being able to communicate with him. Steve Zissou learned about the Illokan Islands and the underwater civilization of Quetzo from a conversation with others knowledgeable about Flipper prompted him to plan filming a documentary about that area to bring up anything of interest to others, with Eliza Thornberry and David Attenborough potentially being involved in that project. Speaking of Attenborough, Flipper being able to live in both marine preserves and in the wild was something of interest to him, as it showed that properly taking care of animals in enclosed preservation areas like an aquarium can help with preventing the extinction of certain animals once they’re out in the wild, regardless of the larger-than-life adventures Flipper takes part in.
The ABZU Diver was another entity dedicated to understanding marine life that Flipper got along with and it was through hanging out with her that Flipper got to see many other underwater settings that he had never seen before. In turn, the ABZU Diver learned about Quetzo and has set plans to explore it and maintain its underwater beauty for the sake of Flipper, his aquatic friends, and other sea creatures. She has also given Flipper plenty of motivation to explore other aquatic settings, with some being desolate, others being serene, and others such as Bikini Bottom being strange enough that it can surprise Flipper in different ways. Flipper has been seen as a support animal for others and while he can support the ABZU Diver, there have been plenty of moments where she’s helped him get out of a dangerous situation thanks to her experience being with threatening sea creatures.
There have been a handful of adventurers who have met a dolphin back then that helped them in their quest. Some of these adventurers have taken to the seas and have sometimes met Flipper, who is more than willing to lend them his help at the moment. There were entities such as the Burning Rangers who have helped out a dolphin back then, something that Flipper approved of and in the case of the Burning Rangers, he was willing to help them with their job by getting innocents to safety as the Burning Rangers extinguish the fires that are nearby. As much as Flipper wants to be of help to someone in trouble, there are some who have had bad experiences with bottlenose dolphins such as the Madagascar Penguins, who have fought against the evil inventor Dr. Blowhole, that are distrustful of Flipper or others like him (or at the very least can fend for themselves regardless of whether or not they’ve met dolphins of any kind).
Aquaman became one of Flipper’s most trusted allies by virtue of being the ruler of an underwater kingdom and an effective superhero within his element. Whenever he isn’t caught up in the conflicts involving other superpowered aquatic entities such as his rival Orm the Ocean Master or Namor the Sub-Mariner, Aquaman has provided Flipper some aid during the dolphin’s more intense missions, sometimes helping the dolphin get out of trouble should it happen. On the subject of Orm and Namor, Flipper is wary about getting involved with either of them due to their ruthless and at times morally ambiguous nature. Although Orm does care about the ocean, he has some dangerous sea creatures at his side to use if anyone opposes him while Namor is difficult to not have an antagonistic relationship towards due to him being aggressive and selfish. Aquaman, Orm, and Namor are all connected to the famed underwater city of Atlantis, with the former two in conflict for the throne and while Atlantis is an area Flipper is more than willing to visit, he doesn’t want to get involved in the ongoing battle over who should rule over it.
Besides confronting humans that threatened his friends or the sea, Flipper has gone up against an octopus named Dexter, who was focused on taking over Quetzo and the area around it. While Dexter has done a variety of dastardly deeds to take over the sea, they don’t compare to the sheer destruction that Octogeddon can do whenever he’s on a rampage. It doesn’t help that although Octogeddon isn’t evil by default, he can be easily angered over slight offenses made towards him and it will require a lot of effort from plenty of powerful entities to take him down. Flipper can’t confront Octogeddon directly due to the latter’s destructive power and anger issues that can trigger him, so the most that he can do is try and help others near aquatic areas get to safety and avoid getting critically hurt by Octogeddon.
Octogeddon taking to land easily in addition to being powerful is enough of a problem for Flipper as is, but the fact that there are plenty of creatures that primarily live in the sea has only added to Flipper’s worries. Whether it’s a relatively mundane creature such as Bruce the Shark or something far larger with abilities that require plenty of coordination to take down such as The Meg or Lagiacrus, protecting innocents from such entities will require much more than Flipper’s smarts to ensure the survival of himself or his allies. A pilot fish by the name of Joe ended up being one of Flipper’s more notable adversaries due to him being an uplifted fish that wanted to overthrow humanity, with such an idea having the potential to threaten both land-based life and aquatic life should it succeed. Joe is frustrated that Flipper is wasting his higher-than-normal intelligence on hanging out with humans instead of trying to subjugate them and Flipper feels that the fish antidote that Joe is trying to circulate is too dangerous to be kept around, especially with how many dangerous sea creatures are there that can be more of a threat if they somehow got their fins on it.
Many sea monsters have attacked others unprovoked, but one such creature who had a reason for doing so, regardless of how justified it was doing so, was an orca whale whose mate and unborn calf was killed by a fisherman. The Orca has developed a deep-seated distrust, if not outright hatred, of humans as a result of what he went through and many other lesser sea creatures are hesitant to get close to him because of it. Flipper can understand the rage that The Orca is going through as Flipper has dealt with problematic people that threaten the well-being of the sea including a fisherman that killed Flipper’s mother and family, but the main problem Flipper has is that The Orca is putting entities who has no involvement with The Orca’s plight at risk whenever it goes on a rampage. Very few individuals such as the ABZU Diver can get The Orca to calm down, with Flipper being someone who can only try to help others get to safety if they’re caught in The Orca’s destructive path.
Flipper is aware of who pirates are thanks to his encounters with a trio of them who sought Neptune’s statue and trident at Iloka. While there are some such as the aforementioned Black Manta who pose a great danger towards their enemies, others lack that level of malice or have benevolent intentions. When it comes to pirates having dolphins working with them, he learned about how one adventure that Doraemon and friends ended up in had them meeting a dolphin who not only was the pet of Captain Kidd’s nephew Jack, but was also a time-traveling cop from the future. While going through time isn’t going to happen unless Ecco is involved (and even then Flipper and Ecco have their own battles to take part in separately), if there’s something out there that many are after and could spell trouble if it ends up in the wrong hands, Flipper will help out whoever needs him and potentially throw a wrench into the plans of whatever villain is seeking treasure.
While there have been many foes that threatened sea life, few have earned plenty of scorn from Flipper as much as a scuba diver that had terrorized Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick Star. Known only as The Cyclops, he operates a shop and murders any sea creature he captures so that he can turn them into tacky souvenirs and sell them for money. Having been used to being an adopted pet for some caring humans and making visitors happy, Flipper sees The Cyclops’ business as worse than some of the foul fishermen he’s confronted in addition to seeing said business as an antithesis to being part of a marine preserve and is more than willing to drive it out of business. While there have been some who have taken up scuba diving, The Cyclops has a distinct green glow to him that Flipper can identify and thwart his attempts at kidnapping helpless fish that cross his path with the help of others.
