Nothing is much known about the character herself, but her one-off appearance in "Big Stinkin' City" is one of those sights a Courage fan never forgets. From the back, she looks like a normal girl playing Violin (Though even this is considered Uncanny Valley considering everything else around is animated). But when she turns around, she has a scary-looking claymation face that cranks up the Uncanny Valley as there's realistic looks, animated background, and claymation all in one spot. Though it seems that the girl's face is not always like that, as she appears normal on a television that Eustace is watching later in the episode.

Added DiffLines:

* AngryGuardDog: Well, more like an Angry Guard Eel in his case, but he still serves the role of a ferocious beast that provides security against intruders. The way he attacks Eustace is even similar to the way a hunting dog violently shakes prey caught in its mouth.
* BeautifulSingingVoice: Rather surprisingly, the Eel enjoys singing the Irish folk song "Danny Boy", and does so with a very pleasant tone. At one point, he even sings a verse together with Eustace... before he resumes mauling him.
* BenevolentMonsters: He's relatively benevolent for a monster in this show, as he's allied with Courage and actively aids his defense of the Magic Tree. On the other hand, he's still quite aggressive to trespassers like Eustace.
* SeaMonster: A rather smaller-scaled version of this trope, being a ferocious fish creature that lurks in a small freshwater moat, which looks more like a circular pond than a "sea". He looks to be roughly human-sized, so while he's not that huge, that's still rather big for an eel.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: As he basically only exists to be a joke character for a few gags, he just stops appearing not long before Eustace's conflict with Courage and the Magic Tree is over.
