9
10	Oscar was the son of Earl who was a tongue scrubber at the Whale Wash of Southside Reef. Oscar wanted to live at the top of the reef someday.
11	----
12	* AccidentalMurder: He did kill Frankie but it wasn't really done on purpose. Lenny cut him loose and Oscar unwittingly swam past an anchor as Frankie was chasing him, resulting in the anchor falling on Frankie and killing him.
13	* AdaptationalBadass: While he's an utter wimp and a FakeUltimateHero in the movie, the console tie-in game ups his combat ability to the point where, despite still running from Frankie and Don Lino, he actually takes down a hostile hammerhead shark in a hand-to-hand fight, something he never did in canon.
14	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Oscar's insecurities of being a nobody started when his classmates mocked his dream of being a "tongue-scrubber" like his father. Even as an adult, Oscar is still pushed around by everyone (sans Angie and Lenny) around him.
15	* AmbitiousButLazy: Oscar is a SocialClimber who ends up in debt trying to take shortcuts to success, and [[TooDumbToLive gambles away the money he owes the mafia]] to instantly get successful.
16	* AssholeVictim: Oscar was nearly one for Frankie until the anchor landed on the latter.
17	* BigGuyLittleGuy: Little Guy to Lenny's Big Guy.
18	* BlatantLies: His lie about the Sharkslayer story set the movie into motion.
19	* BlueIsHeroic: Oscar has blue colored fins and is the hero.
20	* BoisterousWeakling: For all his smack talks, Oscar is defenseless when it comes to sharks.
21	* BuffySpeak: Oscar wanted some of the "wiener thingies" at the race track.
22	* BullyHunter: The reason Oscar takes advantage of his Sharkslayer status at the shark meeting. He goes to Lino's face, a.k.a the boss at the very top of the food chain (the one Sykes told that Oscar was at the very bottom), and tells him his reign is over. He probably waited for years since elementary school to prove himself as a "somebody". Subverted since Oscar is a CowardlyLion at ''best'' and can't hold his own in a fight.
23	* ButtMonkey: Despite being the main protagonist, Oscar is the biggest punching bag in the film by far. He was bullied as a child and is abused by Sykes such as when he has [[RhymeThemeNaming Ernie and Bernie]] give him a black eye and then tie him up and torture him in the middle of nowhere for failing to get his money. He also is a massive coward and wimp who hides behind Lola after hearing that a shark has been found in the reef, and even minor attempts at trying to be more cool often results in failure such as when he tries to wear a cape for his fake sharkslayer stunt and the cape entangles him up. Even after he becomes famous, he manages to remain a punching bag by entering an abusive relationship with Lola who slams him against his own lava lamp for his obedience and sneaks up on him for a public make-out session where she controls what happens. Once he finally breaks up with Lola, which was completely unrelated to her prior abuse of him, he ends up getting slammed across a wall repeatedly in his own penthouse in public viewing of other fish.
24	* CassandraTruth: He was responsible for Frankie's death but he wasn't the one who killed him, an anchor was dropped in the ocean and Frankie was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
25	* CharacterCatchphrase: "Old school!"
26	* CharacterDevelopment: Oscar goes from a JerkWithAHeartOfGold to a NiceGuy after he realizes how stupid and selfish he had become. In the end he aims to become a better friend and [[DumbassNoMore drop his previous antics]]. He also realizes being a manager of the Whale Wash is better than being a Sharkslayer.
27	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[AdaptationalBadass Bumped up to this]] in the console tie-in game; while still a goofy, fame-hungry coward, Oscar actually manages to take down a giant eel, Lenny and a hostile hammerhead shark in hand-to-hand combat. Even in the movie, he did [[spoiler:actually outsmart and humiliate Don Lino with a trap.]]
28	* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Oscar's dad passed away some time before the movie started. To Oscar, his dad was his hero. He admired that he was the #1 employee at the Whale Wash for 25 years. He also has an incredible amount of love and respect for him despite the fact that kids viewed him as a "nobody". This implies that while his father wasn't rich or famous, he was at least a [[GoodParents great dad]]..
29	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Oscar's prone to making foolish decisions without thinking of the consequences:
30	** Takes credit for killing a shark without realizing the following.
31	### People would expect him to fight sharks from now on.
32	### Said shark likely has family and friends who won't take kindly to his death.
33	### He is clearly not a fighter. He keeps it going even after he finds out Frankie was the son of Don Lino (y'know, the guy who rules the Reef with a criminal empire of ''sharks'') and decides to pretend to kill Lino's ''other'' son. Even if ''that'' decision was made under Lenny's advisement, Oscar doesn't get any points for being surprised when the Don retaliates the loss of ''both'' his kids by taking Angie hostage.
34	** He bets the money he owes Sykes (which Angie gave him her grandmother's pearl to get) on a rigged seahorse race, not even considering the idea of his horse losing (though to be fair, everyone was expecting the horse to win, so Oscar probably thought he had nothing to worry about). Sure enough, when it happens, he's unable to pay the money he owes Sykes, which results in Ernie and Bernie almost killing him on Sykes' orders.
35	** He breaks up with Lola and doesn't think anything bad will come from it.
36	* DistractedByTheSexy: Oscar becomes mesmerized by Lola when he first sees her and completely forgets about the 5,000 clams that he bet on Lucky Day immediately. He still gets mesmerized by Lola later on when she meets up with him at his penthouse and when she slams him on his lava lamp while seducing him.
37	* TheDitz: Demonstrates a distinct lack of common sense and repeatedly [[DidntThinkThisThrough makes poor decisions that bite him in the ass later]]. He sells Angie's pearl and bets the money on a rigged seahorse race instead of using it to pay off his debt to Sykes, takes credit for killing a shark without considering that he'll have to fight more of them, and is [[ObliviousToLove completely oblivious to Angie's feelings for him]] no matter how obvious she makes them.
38	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Oscar's main motivation for becoming famous and a "somebody" is based on the idea that [[NoRespectGuy he gets no respect from anyone]].
39	* EntitledBastard: Oscar dreams of fame but doesn't do anything to achieve it for himself, relying on get-rich-quick schemes and generosity. When Frankie dies (indirectly through Oscar and Lenny's actions), he takes the credit for it without thinking twice about the consequences.
40	* ExtremeDoormat: Is beaten, assaulted, and mistreated by Lola, yet he never objects or protests in any way besides breaking up with her, though him breaking up with her is completely unrelated to her prior abuse of him.
41	* FakeUltimateHero: Oscar decided to become the "Shark Slayer".
42	* FatalFlaw: His impulsiveness & blunders. That's why his get-rich-quick schemes didn't work.
43	* {{Flanderization}}: In the PC version of the video game, Oscar's even worse. He doesn't pay his rent for three months because he is too lazy and cheap. It's even worse because one of the missions in the game actually revolves around you getting him to the racetrack in time to bet Sykes' money.
44	* {{Foil}}: To Lenny. Oscar initially wanted to follow in his father's footsteps by working at the Whale Wash (only to hate it as an adult - he tells Angie she is the only reason he still comes to work), while Lenny does not want to follow in Don Lino's footsteps. [[BigGuyLittleGuy Oscar is small, Lenny is big]]. Oscar is implied to be an only child, while Lenny has a brother, Frankie (until Frankie is killed by the anchor). Oscar's father is implied to be dead, while Don Lino is very much alive. Oscar is an IdiotHero while Lenny is TheSmartGuy.
45	* FriendOrIdolDecision: Eventually, Oscar had to choose between continuing his facade or his true friend Angie. [[spoiler:He picks the latter]].
46	* FriendToAllChildren: The Shorties, while they love to tease him, clearly see Oscar as one of their own.
47	* GamblingRuinsLives: Gambling almost ''ended'' his life.
48	* GirlNextDoorTurnedSuperstar: Before Oscar becomes famous with his "Sharkslayer" ruse, his friend and co-worker Angie is shown to harbor a secret crush on him. She finally confesses her love when confronting him about his AcquiredSituationalNarcissism and hot new girlfriend Lola.
49	-->'''Angie:''' Just tell me, Oscar, 'cause I'm curious. Why do you think she's interested in you, huh? Do you think, for one minute, that she would even be ''with you'' if you weren't the rich-and-famous Sharkslayer? Are you that blind?!
50	-->'''Oscar:''' At least ''she'' treats me like I'm somebody!
51	-->'''Angie:''' Yeah, but would she love you if you were nobody?!
52	-->'''Oscar:''' ''Nobody'' loved me when I was nobody!
53	-->'''Angie:''' ''I '''did!''''' Before the money... And before the fame... Before the ''lie''... [[WhatTheHellHero To me, you ''were'' a somebody, Oscar. And now, you're nothing...]] but a ''fake''. A sham, a con. You're a ''joke''.
54	* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: After learning that he took credit for killing Don Lino's successor, he doesn't understand why Lino will want revenge for his son's death. He then participates in the better idea of staging Lenny's murder afterwards, Don Lino's ''second'' son. Oscar either believes [[TheDreaded the sharks are that afraid of him]] or he believes he can keep staging shark attacks until Lino gives up.
55	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Lenny; after the two are forced to team up, they eventually become best friends.
56	* HotBlooded: Oscar is quite impulsive and doesn't think twice before acting.
57	* IdiotHero: He makes a lot of dumb decisions & the audience is basically meant to root for Oscar as the protagonist of the movie. For example, Angie gives him a pearl that he can use to get out of his debt -- and he instead bets it at the seahorse races.
58	* IJustWantToBeSpecial: He wants to be rich and famous, but his get-rich-quick schemes landed him in debt. Seeing that Ernie and Bernie think he killed a shark, he takes advantage of this.
59	* InformedAttribute: Oscar complains about how nobody likes him, even though pretty much everyone in town already seems to like him and he clearly has plenty of friends at the wash.
60	* InformedSpecies: He's supposed to be a cleaner wrasse, but he doesn't look like one. Or any sort of fish at all, for that matter. Truth be told, he just looks like a miscolored Will Smith with a tailfin.
61	* InkSuitActor: As stated above, his facial features represent Will Smith to a huge extent.
62	* InsufferableImbecile: [[IdiotHero Lacks a ton of intelligence or common sense as the protagonist]], and is also very annoying and an unlikable character throughout most the movie. He does have some PetTheDog moments, however.
63	* ItsAllAboutMe: That is why Oscar lies since dreams to be rich and famous and live in top of the reef. And if he doesn't tell the truth, then he won't be able to be "somebody".
64	* JerkassHasAPoint: Only in little much scenes Oscar about others was right.
65	** When Angie actually stopped believing Oscar, if he's keeping secrets made by truth.
66	-->'''Oscar''': '''''SHARKS''''' are comin' ta '''''GET me'''''!
67	** When Oscar realizes that Angie was kidnapped, because of what he forgot one memory about Angie's pearl and became Sharkslayer, Angie's abused words make Oscar come to his senses.
68	-->'''Oscar''': I never meant for anybody to get hurt, especially not Angie! This is all my fault.
69	** Where exactly is Oscar trying to explain to Don Lino that Lenny is not to blame for anything.
70	-->'''Oscar''': Hey, Don. Lino. Sir. It's not his fault. This is between you and me.
71	** When after he became a [[NiceGuy Nice Guy]], also know as telling a real reasons to Don Lino about Frankie's death and Lenny's vegetarianism, he turns to say Angie what did he have to do what did he want better.
72	-->'''Oscar''': I didn't need the Top of the Reef. Everything I ever wanted...was right in front of me the whole time.
73	-->'''Angie''': But what about being a somebody?
74	-->'''Oscar''': I'm a nobody without you.
75	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While done superficially, Oscar comes off as stupidly brash and makes impulsive and selfish decisions, but once he realizes he's in the wrong, he'll do anything to make it right again for his friends. He can also be a very friendly guy who admired his loving father, cares for his friends, and doesn't want himself or anyone else getting hurt because of his actions.
76	* JobTitle: For the working title, "Sharkslayer".
77	* JiveTurkey: "OLD SCHOOL!"
78	* LargeHam: Will Smith is clearly having a blast as Oscar.
79	* {{Leitmotif}}: His leitmotif is [[TotallyRadical rap music]].
80	* LikeFatherLikeSon: PlayedForDrama. At the beginning of the film, Oscar works at the Whale Wash as his late father did before him. Though Oscar dearly loved his father, he fears that the latter was ultimately a nobody, and is desperate not to end up like him.
81	* LoveRevelationEpiphany: After Angie admits she did love Oscar before he let his success go to his head, Oscar spends the rest of the night depressed. When Lola mocks her admission and asks if he even has feelings for her, Oscar realizes that he does indeed love Angie.
82	* ManChild: Oscar is clearly a grown adult, but is shown to be rather dense, lazy, cowardly and at times ''extremely'' selfish. He's desperate to find riches and fame, but has no further ambition for doing so besides wanting to be a "somebody", which is heavily implied to stem from an actual childhood trauma when his classmates laughed at him for having a father who worked as a tongue scrubber.
83	* MoneyDumb: Much of Oscar's troubles in the first half of the film stem from his irresponsible spending. He is in significant debt to Sykes due to taking numerous "advance payments" that he wasted on failed get-rich-quick schemes. Even when Angie gives him her treasured family heirloom specifically to get the money he needs, Oscar can't resist betting it on a horse race and loses all of it.
84	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Oscar's reaction after Angie told him that he became a fake after his lie.
85	* NoRespectGuy: At the whale wash, only Angie seems to respect him. After becoming the Sharkslayer, Lola enters a relationship with him and shows him absolutely no real respect, instead belittling and mistreating him.
86	* ObliviousToLove: He was unaware that Angie was in love with him. That is, until she said something.
87	* OfficialCouple: Becomes one with Angle at the end.
88	* OneOfTheKids: He blends in quite well with the Shorties.
89	* PetTheDog: Even if Oscar can be an egoistical jerk at times, he's not a bad fish at heart:
90	** He gets along quite well with the Shorties. He tries to lead them into a good path by telling them to stop spray-painting on public property, even if he admits they have the art skills for it.
91	** Even if he ended up betting on Angie's grandmother's pearl, Oscar initially hesitates to accept her gift. He later ''rebuys it'' for Angie and even turned it into a beautiful pearl necklace to thank Angie for supporting him.
92	** His whole friendship with Lenny is this. While at first Oscar is annoyed by him, he comforts him when he cries over Frankie's fate, and tells him [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre there's nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, even telling him honestly that he wishes all sharks were like him]]. Later in the movie when Lino screams at Lenny for faking his death and supposedly turning against the family, Oscar is quick to jump at his defense.
93	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Oscar does this a couple of times.
94	* SelfServingMemory: PlayedForLaughs. When he feels tempted to bet on the seahorse race, Oscar hesitates and tells himself to remember what Angie said to him the night before. He then has an ImagineSpot where Angie enthusiastically tells him to "bet it all", which is not ''at all'' what she told him to do.
95	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He is the Manly Man to Lenny's Sensitive Guy.
96	* SlowNo: Oscar yelled this as he saw Lucky Day trip.
97	* SocialClimber: Oscar wants to be famous but never puts in the effort to even try becoming famous. After failing to pay his debts, Oscar is left to die and he accidentally kills a shark when he tries to run away from him. Oscar then tells everyone he killed the shark on purpose and thinks everyone will leave it at that. Except, he didn't just take credit for killing a shark, he took credit for killing the son of Don Lino, the leader of the sharks. Now Don Lino wants payback and everyone expects Oscar to defend the Southside Reef from the shark mafia.
98	* TooDumbToLive: Oscar repeatedly makes stupid, impulsive decisions that should have, by all means, resulted in his death. In particular, he bets the 5000 clams he owes Sykes on a horse race despite knowing full-well that Sykes will have him killed if he doesn't get the money, he fails to escape when Lenny tells him to (which almost gets him eaten by Frankie) and he keeps up the Sharkslayer lie despite being a complete wimp who can't fight sharks.
99	* TookALevelInKindness: Oscar became more gentle after becoming friends with Lenny and learning how much harm his lie caused.
100	* WouldntHitAGirl: Oscar never attempts to defend himself in any way when Lola slams him against a giant lava lamp, forcefully makes out with him in public, or assaults and beats him for ending their relationship. However, Oscar appears to be too weak to be able to defend himself from Lola.
101	* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: He's a self-centered con man who wants to be rich and famous and doesn't value the people in his life he already has, and Oscar is thoroughly superficial. In spite of that, Oscar cares about his friends and eventually realizes the error of his ways.
102	* UsedToBeASweetKid: As a child, Oscar looked up to his father, a whale washer, and wanted to become just like him. But when he told it to his class, [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer he got mocked and rejected by his peers.]] This caused him to be deeply insecure about being a "nobody" and why he cuts corners in order to be famous.

111
112	Lenny is the second son of Don Lino who is repulsed by meat and wants to be accepted as a vegetarian. He has a much more gentle nature than his older brother, Frankie.
113	----
114	* AccidentalMurder: He unwittingly caused Frankie's death by refusing to eat Oscar, causing a pursuit that resulted in Frankie being killed by an anchor.
115	* AlliterativeName: '''L'''enny '''L'''ino.
116	* AmbiguouslyGay: He comes across as effeminate and soft-spoken, and his vegetarianism is treated as analogous to a ComingOutStory.
117	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Seen as such by Frankie, although he cares about his brother regardless.
118	* BigGuyLittleGuy: The Big Guy to Oscar's Little Guy.
119	* BigNO: Lenny yelled one after the death of his brother.
120	* BluntYes: Lenny says one after Oscar asked if Don Lino was like the Godfather.
121	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The only shark to be considered this way.
122	* CuckooSnarker: A little eccentric he is, he still is able to dish out some snark when he feels like it.
123	-->'''Frankie''': Sorry, pops. Lenny had an accident: ''he was born''!
124	-->'''Lenny''': [[SarcasmMode [''sarcastic laugh''] You're a comic genius.]]
125	* DaddyIssues: While his dad loves him, it's ''completely'' understandable why Lenny would run away from home and live a new life being himself. His dad pressures him greately to live in his image and always be his family no matter what. [[spoiler: Their relationship does get better by the end though]].
126	* {{Deuteragonist}}: The secondary protagonist of the movie -- his vegetarianism and family issues get almost as much focus as Oscar's dreams of making it big.
127	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: It's very easy to read his vegetarianism as an allegory for being LGBT.
128	* DumbIsGood: Compared to his brother and father, he isn't that bright but is the kindest and nicest shark out of them all.
129	* EffeminateVoice: Lenny has a high-pitched voice compared to the other sharks.
130	* FatAndSkinny: The Fat to Oscar's Skinny.
131	* {{Foil}}: To Oscar. Oscar initially wanted to follow in his father's footsteps by working at the Whale Wash (only to hate it as an adult - he tells Angie she is the only reason he still comes to work), while Lenny does not want to follow in Don Lino's footsteps. [[BigGuyLittleGuy Oscar is small, Lenny is big]]. Oscar is implied to be an only child, while Lenny has a brother, Frankie (until Frankie is killed by the anchor). Oscar's father is implied to be dead, while Don Lino is very much alive. Oscar is an IdiotHero while Lenny is TheSmartGuy.
132	* GeniusDitz: While he can be quite absent-minded at times, he's pretty good at thinking up strategies, as seen as he's the one who has the idea of faking his own death and helping Oscar keep up his Sharkslayer act. Don Lino acknowledges this, even calling him "the brains" of his two sons.
133	* GentleGiant: He's a great white, but he would rather be friends with fish than eat them.
134	* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Lenny believes that staging his own death will be enough to deter the sharks from attacking Oscar, even though it will give Lino ''another'' personal reason to go after Oscar. [[spoiler:As shown later on in the movie, the sharks start using a different strategy to eliminate Oscar and they choose to abduct Angie at Lola's suggestion.]]
135	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Oscar; they become best friends after being forced to team up.
136	* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Lenny is a vegetarian, while his father and brother are carnivores.
137	* {{Manchild}}: To a much more innocent extent than Oscar, but still present. Lenny is implied to be at least a young adult, apparently being old enough to inherit his father's business, but is shown to be very sheltered and naive. He childishly bickers with Frankie, is heavily implied to be a MommasBoy, and he knows almost nothing about the reef outside his home and relies on Oscar to hide and protect him.
138	* MoralityPet: He ends up becoming one towards Oscar. As much of a JerkAss Oscar can be, he truly sees Lenny as his best friend and looks out for his well-being once he warms up to him.
139	* NiceGuy: Lenny's a friendly guy and seems to be one of the only sharks not willing to eat fish.
140	* ProneToTears: Lenny gets teary every time someone brings up Frankie's death or that someone wouldn't believe Lenny is a vegetarian.
141	* RageBreakingPoint: He has this after his father told him repeatedly to eat the shrimp.
142	* TheRunaway: Lenny runs away from home after Frankie's death, feeling immense guilt in the tragedy due to his inability to eat Oscar as well as seeing himself as a shame to the Lino name.
143	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Lenny is the Sensitive Guy to Oscar's Manly Man.
144	* ShameIfSomethingHappened: Lenny pulls this kind of threat on Oscar, with the "something" being people being told Oscar lied about being a sharkslayer.
145	* ShipperOnDeck: He's ecstatic when Oscar decides to tell Angie he loves her.
146	* TokenGoodTeammate: The only vegetarian shark among his father's mob group. He ends up running away and befriends Oscar due to his difference.
147	* TheUnfavorite: Thinks of himself as his father's unfavorite son due to his inability to be a carnivore like all the other sharks. While Don Lino clearly [[ParentalFavoritism puts Frankie on a pedestal]], he cares about Lenny a lot and goes full-blown PapaWolf when he thinks Oscar killed him as well.
148	* VegetarianCarnivore: Lenny's a shark who decided to go vegetarian to the point where the very thought of eating meat makes him nauseous. He disguises himself as a dolphin in order to prevent other fish from fearing him, [[ArtisticLicenseBiology even though dolphins are also predators]].
149	* VirtuousVegetarianism: Lenny's closet vegetarianism is an early indication that he's the WhiteSheep of his [[TheFamilyForTheWholeFamily family]], who are essentially an undersea version of TheMafia.
150	* WhiteSheep: He's the only shark who doesn't want to be a carnivore and wants to get along with fish.
151	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Being a vegetarian, he ''loathes'' the taste of fish. When he's forced to eat Angie as part of her rescue mission, he ends up throwing up his entire digestive system.

162
163	Angie is a receptionist at the Whale Wash. She is good friends with Oscar.
164	----
165	* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: She makes one when Oscar rants about how his life wasn't special until he became the "Shark Slayer".
166	* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Lola's Veronica. [[spoiler:Angie wins]].
167	* CannotSpitItOut: She's in love with Oscar, but she can't admit it. When she does, it's at a point wherein she realizes he's a jerk.
168	* ClingyJealousGirl: She clearly gets jealous of Lola dating Oscar. Although in her defense, Lola being a GoldDigger and a ManipulativeBitch towards Oscar doesn't help.
169	* ConcertKiss: Gives Oscar one after he rescues her from the sharks and brings peace to the reef. Though [[ForcefulKiss the way she does it is very similar to Lola's earlier forced make-out session]], she does it to actually express her love for Oscar, unlike Lola who did it as a stunt to show off her relationship status with Oscar.
170	* TheConscience: She tries hard to push Oscar to the right path and helps him pay his debt. However, his constant con tricks and insensitivity cause her to lash out at him for his selfish actions in the climax.
171	* DamselInDistress: She gets kidnapped by Don Lino in order to lure Oscar.
172	* DeadpanSnarker: One of her lines.
173	--> '''Angie:''' Oscar, instead of getting in Mr. Sykes' face with another one of your get-rich-quick schemes, go do something you're actually good at: ''your job.'' Which, by some miracle, you still have.
174	* FirstGirlWins: She was Oscar's best friend for years, and ends up becoming a couple with him at the end contrary to Lola.
175	* {{Foil}}: To Lola. Both want Oscar's affections and end up forcefully kissing him in public. However, Angie has known Oscar for some time and cares about him for his character, whereas Lola seduced him immediately after meeting her and is only interested in his wealth and fame.
176	* ForcedKiss: After forgiving Oscar for his lie, she lunges at him and catches him off-guard with a kiss. The kiss is much more loving than Lola's earlier forced kiss, in which she pinned him under her and maintained complete control of the make-out session.
177	* ALizardNamedLiz: An angelfish named Angie.
178	* LoveDoodles: Her EstablishingCharacterMoment is her doodling her love for Oscar.
179	* MeaningfulName: As staded below, ''Angie'' is the ''angel'' on Oscar's shoulder trying to lead him to the right path. She is also an ''angelfish''.
180	* MoralityChain: The movie's official website notes that she tries to influence Oscar to always do the right thing. In the movie itself, it's her disapproval that eventually spurs Oscar to confess his deception.
181	-->Angie is truly the angel on Oscar's shoulder, making him do the right thing in spite of himself.
182	* NiceGirl: Angie is very friendly towards others, so friendly that she offered her grandmother's pearl to Oscar to help him pay off his debt.
183	* OfficialCouple: Becomes one with Oscar at the end.
184	* SmoochOfVictory: Gives one to Oscar after he rescues her from the sharks and brings peace to the reef. While the kiss is [[ForcefulKiss forced onto him just like Lola's earlier public make-out]], it is clearly filled with passion and love.
185	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Angie gave one to Oscar after he became a bigshot.
186	-->'''Oscar''': At least [Lola] treats me like I'm somebody!
187	-->'''Angie''': Yeah, but would she love you if you were nobody?!
188	-->'''Oscar''': NOBODY LOVED ME WHEN I WAS NOBODY!
189	-->'''Angie''': [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove I DID!!]] Before the money. And before the fame... Before the ''lie''! To me, you were a somebody, Oscar. Now you're nothing... but a fake. A sham. A con. You're a ''joke''.

200	Sykes is the owner of the Whale Wash. He is secretly a loan shark to Don Lino.
201	----
202	* BenevolentBoss: While he's shown acting hostile towards Oscar [[JerkassHasAPoint (often justifiably so)]] it's implied they usually get along well, and Sykes is generally a generous and well-providing employer towards everyone who works for him, and will even give them their pay checks early if needed. In addition, after he offends Don Lino, the latter specifically threatens the Whale Wash when demanding protection money, implying that Sykes is not only desperately trying to save himself, but also wants to protect his employees from Lino's wrath.
203	* BigOlEyebrows: Just like the real Scorsese's.
204	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: He misreads Oscar's attempts to stop smack-talking Lino as ''more'' ways to do so.
205	-->'''Oscar''': SYKES, SHUT UP! [points the phone] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis SHUT! UP!]]
206	-->'''Sykes''': Hey, that's good. That's good, I like that! [in the phone] [[TooDumbToLive Shut up, Lino! Ha!]] [[BigShutUp Shut up!]]
207	* TheDragon: He starts off as Don Lino's henchman, before getting fired for cracking wise one too many times.
208	* EasilyForgiven: Oscar doesn't hold the fact Sykes ordered his death against him, accepting him as his new manager and letting him profit off his image.
209	* HeliumSpeech: Whenever he inflates, Sykes' voice becomes much higher-pitched.
210	* JerkassHasAPoint:
211	** While Sykes offends Lino by criticising his son, he is proven completely correct in his assessment that Lenny isn't a cold-blooded killer like his father or brother, which Lino sees for himself during an argument with Lenny.
212	** Although Sykes resorts to extreme methods to ensure Oscar pays his debts, he rightfully points out that Oscar has burned a significant hole in the company's finances with the funds he's taken and [[MoneyDumb has been reckless and incompetent when spending it]], and is perfectly justified losing his temper when Oscar initially tries to deny this. His point is only further proven when Oscar pawns one of Angie's possessions for the money he owes, only to lose it all on a horse race.
213	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sykes means well, despite his Mafia ties. He genuinely likes Oscar in spite of the latter’s massive debt, and only sends Ernie and Bernie to torment him as a last resort. He’s nevertheless supportive of Oscar’s newfound celebrity status, going as far as proclaiming himself to be Oscar’s “manager”. Once Oscar confesses the truth, Sykes is mortified but continues to support the ruse. He also seems to be aware of Angie’s feelings for Oscar and was concerned when Angie saw Lola’s onscreen kiss with Oscar.
214	* LoanShark: Sykes is not officially a lender by trade, but it's indicated that he's given Oscar money for all the latter's past {{Get Rich Quick Scheme}}s, which have never been paid back since these schemes all failed. By the time the movie rolls around, Oscar owes Sykes a whopping ''5000'' clams, which Sykes finally demands back after losing his mafia protection, and he resorts to unsavoury methods to ensure Oscar's compliance.
215	* MotorMouth: Sykes is prone to going on long, fast-paced tangents with little space between each word. Given that he ''is'' voiced by Martin Scorsese, this was inevitable.
216	* NeverLendToAFriend: Oscar is one of Sykes' employees and it's implied that they normally get along well. In the past Sykes has given Oscar up to 5000 clams worth of loans for Oscar to use on various investments and business ideas, all of which have failed. Sykes finally asks for the money back when he desperately needs protection money to give to Don Lino, though Oscar's impulsiveness only makes things worse.
217	* RageBreakingPoint: Sykes is already on a knife's edge when Oscar gambles away the protection money on a racehorse (although he is genuinely happy once the horse Oscar bet on seems to be winning, and does a victory dance with him), but when the horse trips, falls, and ultimately loses, he finally has enough and decides to get rid of Oscar once and for all. Though Oscar does ultimately survive, and his Sharkslayer ruse turns out to be beneficial for both him and Sykes.

228
229	Don Lino is the head of his great white shark gang. He cares a lot about his two sons, Frankie and Lenny.
230	----
231	* BenevolentBoss: Despite being [[TheDreaded greatly feared]] by the wider reef, Lino is a highly respected and beloved figure within the Shark mafia. He's even shown to have a soft spot for Sykes, until the latter pushes his BerserkButton.
232	* BigBad: After Oscar tells the lie about killing Frankie, Lino becomes the main antagonist on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
233	* TheComicallySerious: Lino himself is a consistently serious character while the world and people around him... are not.
234	* TheDon: But of course. What better profession for a ThreateningShark than a mob boss?
235	* TheDreaded: Being the head of the shark Mafia will make you that. When he walks into the sit down, the heroes freeze at the sound of his voice and both Lenny and Sykes have trouble looking him in the eye. The only character who is never nervous around Lino is Luca, likely because he's too dense to be scared.
236	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Lino sums himself up pretty neatly during his meeting with Sykes. Mainly that he is TheDreaded to the fish of the Reef (very much including Sykes) but loves his sons dearly and being well aware of their strengths (brawn for Frankie, brains for Lenny). He vouches for Lenny when Sykes scoffs at the idea of working for him, showing that despite being a little embarrassed by his youngest son he has a great amount of faith in him. On the flip side, Lino also displays a short temper (he brought Sykes into that meeting to tell him the chain of command was changing but ended up firing him instead) and is shown to be in denial about Lenny's unwillingness to kill/eat meat.
237	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler: Until the end of the movie, he couldn't understand why Lenny refuses to be a predator. Lino also fails to understand why Oscar would want to kill a shark since Lino did nothing to make it personal; even though his mafia has been actively hunting in Oscar's part of the reef, so any fish would have had a good reason to fight back.]]
238	* EvilIsBigger: 'Evil' is pushing it but he is much bigger. Oscar is at most as tall as his head, and even if you don't count the fish, Lino is easily the largest shark in the movie.
239	* EvilOldFolks: While he may not ''look'' that old, Lenny's character arc is kickstarted by Lino retiring from the mob business and passing the torch onto his sons. Though it was only implied in the actual movie, it's confirmed to be the case in the PC game and the junior novel.
240	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He greatly cares for his sons, though is upset with Lenny being a vegetarian.
241	* FamilyMan: As the film likes to play up that particular aspect of the Mafia, one of the most prominent aspects of Lino we see is his devotion and adoration of his sons. Even when Lenny's differences frustrate him, Lino refuses to write him off, instead insisting their family works together. At the sit down with Oscar, he makes it clear that he's not hitting the 'Sharkslayer' back as a show of strength, but because he believes Oscar murdered both of his children and he wants justice.
242	* HairTriggerTemper: Played more subtly than most examples, but he does have a short fuse. Probably best established in his first scene with Sykes. After the 'you said what first' conversation and being mildly embarrassed by Lenny, Lino jumps from telling Sykes the chain of command is changing to ''firing'' him and forcing him to pay protection.
243	* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:When Oscar confronts him in the end for not accepting his son, Lino finally realizes that he never supported Lenny for being who he is. After a few moments of thinking, he asks to be freed so he can hug his son and apologize.]]
244	* IHaveYourWife: With Lola's help, he tries to get revenge against Oscar by kidnapping Angie.
245	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He comes off as this at the end when he learns to accept Lenny for who he is and stops being hostile towards Oscar and the fishes.
246	* LargeAndInCharge: The biggest shark in the movie and the top of the food chain (as Sykes put it).
247	* LoveRedeems: After learning the truth about the death of Frankie, he apologizes to Lenny and makes peace with the Reef.
248	* NoYou: After Sykes tells him to "Shut up" on the phone:
249	-->'''Don Lino''': "Shut up?" Shut up?! You don't tell '''me''' shut up, I tell '''''you''''' shut up!
250	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: His firstborn son, Frankie, dies to an anchor (though he spends most of the film believing Oscar killed him). Even worse, he also thinks the 'Sharkslayer' killed Lenny as well until he accidentally reveals himself at the sit-down.
251	* PapaWolf: He targets Oscar after the latter takes credit for Frankie's death. Though he and Lenny had their differences before the latter's disappearance, Lino is still relieved to discover that his younger son is alive.
252	* ParentsAsPeople: He genuinely cares for Lenny, but he can't see or accept the fact his son will never be a "typical" shark. He comes around at the end.
253	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Lino gives to Lenny the his only son a speech, where Don Lino thinks about how Oscar [[MasterOfDisguise brainwashed his son into Dolphin]], may not forgive Lenny for being near the fish.
254	-->'''Don Lino''': Are you kidding me? Are you kiddin' me, are ya outta your '''''mind'''''?! Do you have any idea how this looks?.. What are you doing with this guy? He took out your flesh and blood, Frankie.
255	-->'''Lenny''': But, Pop, just listen...
256	-->'''Don Lino''': But ''nothing''! You never take sides against the family. '''''Ever'''''!
257	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After Frankie's apparent murder -- left unpunished and the killer publicly rewarded, mind you -- and funeral, Lenny -- whom he probably considered more helpless and vulnerable -- ran away and reappeared only to seemingly be slaughtered by the very fish responsible for Frankie's death.
258	* ToughLove: Not at first, but as Lenny continuously fails to conform to shark tradition (eating meat and hunting live prey), culminating in the scene at the restaurant, Lino decides that Lenny needs to learn how to be a shark whether he actually wants to or not. This mindset is eventually deconstructed as it forces a rift between the two of them and Lenny feels so inadequate and ashamed that he runs away.
259	* TranquilFury: He walks into the sit-down with Oscar looking thoroughly sorrowful, then he hears Oscar indirectly insulting him and the grief hardens into cold rage. His calm eventually breaks after Lenny is revealed to be alive.
260	* UnstoppableRage: During the sit down with Oscar, he finds out that his dolphin friend is actually his son Lenny, and thinking he turned him that way and murdered his son on purpose, he goes on a high speed chase out for Oscar's blood.
261	* WrongGenreSavvy: Primarily played for humour, he and the other sharks are written like characters from an old-school Mafia movie (more specifically, The Godfather) and to be fair, he ''is'' a powerful Don with an iron grip on the Reef, but his traditional way of working clashes with the flashy, up and coming, gangsta-like Oscar. At the otherwise tense sit-down, he's left utterly flabbergasted at the antics of Oscar and co. and after the climax he proves to be stumped by slang like 'yo' and 'what's up' in a... let's say a conversation with Sykes.
262	* YouKilledMyFather: Inverted, he believes Oscar killed his two sons: first Frankie, and later Lenny when the latter fakes his death (Don Lino then thinks Lenny avenged his brother).

269
270	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AngelinaJolie (movie), Creator/SeanaKofoed (games)
271
272	Lola is a lionfish who is very provocative and is attracted to fish who are rich.
273	----
274	* ArousedByTheirVoice: Lola has a soft, seductive voice, courtesy of Angelina Jolie.
275	* BerserkButton: Getting dumped. When Oscar dumps her, she not only beats him up for it, but she teams up with the sharks to get back at him.
276	* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Angie's Betty.
277	* BitchInSheepsClothing: She tries to pass herself off as being a decent person deep down, but it's all an act.
278	* BrightIsNotGood: Lola dresses in a very flashy and colorful way, and is a manipulative and abusive gold digger.
279	* CardCarryingVillain: She outright calls herself "really superficial" to Oscar's face in her very first scene.
280	* ConcertKiss: After Oscar pretends to defeat Lenny, the thousands of celebrating onlookers are treated to the sight of Lola [[ForcefulKiss pinning Oscar down and making out with him.]]
281	* DeathGlare: Lola gave a frightening one to Oscar after he dumped her, right before savagely and mercilessly beating him against a glass window in public.
282	* DestructiveRomance: Lola's short-lived relationship with Oscar consists largely of Lola abusing, assaulting, and belittling Oscar, while he passively accepts this blatant mistreatment.
283	* DisproportionateRetribution: Oscar dumps Lola. Lola brutally beats him against a glass window in plain view of dozens of people, who laugh as he suffers.
284	* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: She viciously beats up Oscar after he dumps her in plain view of 20 or 30 other fish, but nobody tries to stop her. Sykes even jokingly calls this "young love."
285	* EntitledToHaveYou: When she discovers Oscar is rich and she starts dating him, she ends up getting angry and beating him up when Oscar dumps her. So basically, she felt that she should have been the only one Oscar should be dating.
286	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: She appears to the song "Gold Digger" and flirts with Oscar after he places his bet, but leaves and calls him a nobody after learning he isn't rich.
287	* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: Wears an unnecessarily heavy amount of purple eyeshadow at all times.
288	* ExtremeMeleeRevenge: After getting dumped, she beats Oscar by repeatedly slamming him against a glass window with full force. Judging by his pained expression and how he slides down to the floor with his face covered in his own spit, coupled with the loud thudding of his face against the glass, it was certainly brutal.
289	* {{Foil}}: To Angie. Both want Oscar's affections and end up forcefully kissing him in public. However, [[LoveInterestVsLustInterest Angie has known Oscar for some time and cares about him for his character, whereas Lola seduced him immediately after the two met and is only interested in his wealth and fame]].
290	* FairWeatherEx Lola dates Oscar as long as he's rich and famous. [[spoiler:At the end of the movie when he's partnered with Sykes, made the Whale Wash more successful than it's ever been, and become who he's always wanted to be, she tries to get back with him now that he's legitimately successful]].
291	* ForcefulKiss: After Oscar's staged fight with Lenny, Lola sneaks up on Oscar in front of the cameras and sweeps him into a passionate make-out session for the whole town to see. Oscar seems surprised by this at first but then seems to accept and return the kiss. Lola keeps him pinned under her and maintains complete control of the kiss, which reflects her domineering and abusive nature.
292	* GoldDigger: Bonus points for the song that plays during her first appearance.
293	* HateSink: While Don Lino serves as the main antagonist, he has a genuinely sympathetic motivation for targeting Oscar. Lola on the other hand is nothing more than a shallow and abusive GoldDigger with no regard for anyone other than herself. She seduces Oscar as soon as he gains his fame as the Sharkslayer and constantly manipulates him while indiscreetly badmouthing Angie. After Oscar comes to his senses and decides to end the relationship, Lola mercilessly beats him, and is fully willing to have Angie kidnapped and murdered just to spite Oscar.
294	* HairFlip: After she is done beating up Oscar for dumping her she runs a fin through her "hair" before sulking away.
295	* HoistHeroOverHead: Does this to Oscar during her violent beating of him after he dumps her.
296	* HumanHammerThrow: Does this to Oscar against a glass window during his beating at her hands.
297	* IfICantHaveYou: When Oscar dumps her, clearly over his feelings for Angie, Lola has the latter kidnapped and almost killed to prevent her and Oscar from being together.
298	* InformedSpecies: Due to the animation clearly trying to [[InkSuitActor make her look like Angelina Jolie]], she looks nothing like an actual lionfish and more like a fish that was plastered with Angelina Jolie's face.
299	* {{Jerkass}}: Lola is revealed to be this in the climax of the film after she gets dumped by Oscar and has Angie kidnapped for revenge. In addition, immediately after being dumped, she cruelly beats Oscar.
300	* KarmicRape: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]], [[spoiler: In the post-credits scene, Lola comes to the penthouse to insincerely make amends with Oscar. She's instead met by Crazy Joe who amorously turns off the lights when she says "You'd have to be crazy not to take me back". Since it is a kids movie, he obviously didn't rape her but it's strongly indicated that his advances are portrayed as karma for joining the sharks to get revenge for Oscar dumping her.]]
301	* KickTheDog: As part of her EstablishingCharacterMoment, she loses all interest in Oscar after learning he isn't rich and calls him a nobody before ditching him.
302	-->'''Lola:''' Look, deep down, I'm really superficial. (''pulls Oscar close as if to kiss him'') And don't get me wrong you're cute, but...(''whispers as she [[KissDiss pushes him away]]'') you're a nobody.
303	* KissDiss: In her first meeting with Oscar, after discovering he isn't actually rich, she continues to flirt with him briefly and pulls him in close to her as if she is going to kiss him, with Oscar even closing his eyes and puckering up in anticipation. But then right as their lips are inches apart, she whispers to him that he's a nobody before pushing him away.
304	* LadyInRed: Lola has red "hair", a red "dress", and red lipstick.
305	* MakeUpIsEvil: Wears the heaviest makeup of any character in the film by far and is undeniably wicked.
306	* MoreDespicableMinion: Despite working for Don Lino come the sitdown, her reasons for revenge on Oscar are more petty than the shark boss. Oscar rejected her, whereas Lino thinks he's responsible for Frankie's death, and later Lenny's. Yes, Lola somehow makes the ''Mafia'' look more sympathetic by comparison.
307	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Delivers a particularly brutal one to Oscar after he dumps her.
308	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She has a tendency to get far too close to Oscar, even when he is clearly uncomfortable. Examples include when she roughly slams him against a giant lava lamp and caresses his body and face while her face is uncomfortably close to his, forcefully grabs and kisses him in public, and wraps one arm around him and pushes his face closer to hers with the other hand while he is clearly upset and uninterested.
309	* NotGoodWithRejection: After Oscar breaks up with her as gently as he can, she responds by giving him a frightening DeathGlare, savagely slamming him against a glass window repeatedly in front of dozens of people, and ratting him and Angie out to the sharks.
310	* RedIsViolent: Lola's primary color is red and she gets aggressive towards Oscar.
311	* {{Revenge}}: The only thing she loves more than money. After Oscar dumps her she gets her immediate revenge by beating and humiliating him, and later on by ratting him out to the sharks.
312	* RichBitch: Lola considers fish that are poor to be nobodies. When one "nobody" she belittled and disrespected suddenly becomes a "somebody", she feels entitled to have him.
313	* SexualKarma: Implied by the mid-credits scene, where she comes back to Oscar's penthouse hoping to seduce him again, only to run into Crazy Joe.
314	* SmoochOfVictory: After Oscar's staged battle with Lenny, Lola decides to "reward" him by sneaking up on him, pinning him under her, and [[ForcefulKiss forcefully making out with him]] in front of thousands of onlookers. He seems to enjoy and accept her reward after his initial reaction of shock and surprise.
315	* SoftSpokenSadist: Lola never raises her voice, and is later shown to be more than willing to resort to violence and indirect murder to get back at those she feels wronged by.
316	* SpectacularSpinning: She is fond of spinning Oscar around while being seductive. She uses one hand on his hand to give him a quick spin when they reunite at Oscar's penthouse, and she does it again immediately before [[ForcefulKiss grabbing and making-out]] with him. She also spins herself while dancing for Oscar the first time they meet, and spins herself and Oscar while beating him up after being dumped.
317	* StealthPun: She's a lionfish, a species of fish known for its venomous spines, who is also an abusive love interest to Oscar. She and Oscar are in a ''toxic'' relationship.
318	* TheVamp: Lola uses her beauty and provocative actions (dancing, touching, making out) to seduce Oscar.
319	* WaifFu: Despite her small size and slim figure, Lola is shown to be physically strong enough to ''pick up'' Oscar (though the fact that they're underwater may have helped) and effortlessly delivers a [[CurbStompBattle vicious beatdown on him]] after he breaks up with her.
320	* WomanScorned: Oscar inadvertedly sets the third act in motion when he tries to break up with Lola. After an already extreme reaction in the moment - during which she mercilessly beat him against the glass window in front of Sykes and dozens of other partygoers - she then arranges to have Angie kidnapped by the sharks, fully intended to have her ''murdered'', in order to get back at Oscar.

352
353	Frankie is the first born son of Don Lino and Lenny's older brother. He was killed by an anchor, but Oscar takes credit for his death, setting the plot in motion.
354	----
355	* AlasPoorVillain: Not exactly a villain, but he's still mourned by Lenny and the other sharks after he dies.
356	* AxCrazy: He enjoys hunting and killing a little too much.
357	* BigBrotherBully: He loves to tease and smack around his brother, but the two still love eachother regardless.
358	* BigBrotherInstinct: It's here deep down. When Lenny hits his RageBreakingPoint at the restaurant, Frankie looks upon the scene in shock and even tries to convince their father he can lead the reef by himself so that Lenny isn't forced in a life he doesn't want to.
359	* BloodKnight: Loves to hunt and kill and judging by the many scars on his body, he's more than happy to fight people just as big or bigger than him.
360	* CoveredInScars: To highlight how hyper-violent he is, and it's especially noticeable when you compare him to his younger brother. Frankie's body is absolutely laden with scars and all of his fins have chunks torn out of them.
361	* DopeSlap: Frequently does this to Lenny and in a tragic twist, it's the last thing Frankie does before he dies.
362	* DumbMuscle: Not to extremes, but he's undeniably more brutish than Lenny, and his father outright says that muscle is Frankie's strength while Lenny has the brains.
363	* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Though he's a thug, he's still loved by his family and the entire shark mob, and they grieve his death.
364	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While he makes fun of Lenny, he really does care about his well-being and is worried that he may not fit in with the family business.
365	* HairTriggerTemper: He's quick to lash out and is very temperamental.
366	* HiddenDepths: While he seems like just a brute at first glance, he's surprisingly perceptive and a caring brother. Not only does he seem to realize before his father that Lenny can't become what Lino expects, he makes an effort to bail his younger brother out only to be overruled.
367	* HotBlooded: He's very impulsive and short tempered much like his father.
368	* IfYouWontIWill: What causes his death. Frustrated with Lenny's refusal to eat Oscar, Frankie gives chase with intent to do so instead. The rest, of course, is history.
369	* ImColdSoCold: Lenny replies, "That's because we're cold blooded." Frankie hits Lenny and replies back, "Moron".
370	* InnocentBystander: Not innocent per-say due to him being a bloodthirsty shark, but he was clearly in the wrong place at the wrong time when that anchor dropped.
371	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rough around the edges (as are all sharks sans Lenny) and will tease Lenny until the sun dies but he really does love him and just wants him to get figured out so they can move on with their lives. Notably, in one of his rare moments of reflection at the restaurant, he looks genuinely afraid that Lenny is getting roped into a life he doesn't want/can't handle.
372	* LikeFatherLikeSon: In contrast to his younger brother, Frankie shares a lot of similarities with his father pre-CharacterDevelopment. Mainly, he's happy to stick to shark tradition, has a short temper, and genuinely loves Lenny despite him being an oddity.
373	* PlotTriggeringDeath: Oscar's lie, a major plot point, was kickstarted after the anchor kills him.
374	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Frankie is killed at the end of the first act, but Oscar taking credit for his death sets the film's main plot in motion.
375	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Only gets a couple scenes of development before his death, and is primarily used as a catalyst for the Shark Slayer story afterwards.

391	* LaughablyEvil: While he's Don Lino's right hand man, he's very goofy and clumsy to the point of providing comedy whenever he's on-screen.
392	* VillainsOutShopping: In a deleted scene, Luca plays the piano nicely.

401
402	Don Ira Feinberg is the Don of a group of leopard sharks and an old friend of Don Lino.
403	----
404	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Tries to put the moves on Lola. She is noticeably repulsed by him.
405	* AffablyEvil: In his short screentime, he's shown to be a highly respected and amiable CoolOldGuy, giving Lino his condolensces for Frankie's death. Though he's still a mobster, like Lino himself, and his main contribution to the plot is informing Lino of the Sharkslayer, indirectly making Oscar a target for the sharks.
406	* AmbiguouslyJewish: He is voiced by the Jewish Creator/PeterFalk and has a stereotypically Jewish-sounding name. With the sharks clearly being inspired by the mob, [[KosherNostra having prominent mobsters of Jewish descent]] is actually [[TruthInTelevision very accurate]].
407	* AntiVillain: Compared to Don Lino, there is no known significance of villainy in him.
408	* DirtyOldMan: Is clearly elderly, and at one point flirts with the attractive and notably younger Lola, to her disgust.
409	* EvilOldFolks: A downplayed example. He isn't that evil compared to Don Lino.
410	* {{Gasshole}}: He farts during Frankie's funeral, causing the orca behind him to faint.
411	* TakeThat: His wanting to listen to "My Heart Will Go On" is treated with shock and horror by the other sharks.
412	* VillainousFriendship: With Lino, though he's not shown doing much that's "villainous".

416	!!Earl
417
418	Oscar’s dad, Earl, who worked as a tongue scrubber in the whale wash for his whole life.
419	----
420	* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Earl is all but stated to have passed away before the events of the film, but Oscar and Angie still fondly remember him.
421	* GoodParents: While we never see them interact directly, Earl is implied to have been a very loving father that a younger Oscar used to look up to. Even as an adult, Oscar still believes Earl was the best parent he could have asked for.
422	* NonMammalianHair: While the other fish characters in the film have [[EarsAsHair their natural features shaped to resemble hair]], Earl inexplicably has an actual afro in his younger years, and also grows facial hair as an older man.
423	* PosthumousCharacter: Is implied to have passed away by the time of the movie, and only appears in a brief, silent flashback.
424	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks a whole lot like his son.
425	* TheVoiceless: Has no dialogue in any of his scenes.
