Gary

Garold "Gary" Wilson Jr. is a sea snail who is the pet of SpongeBob SquarePants. He is Patrick Star's first cousin. He resides in a pineapple house on 124 Conch Street, Bikini Bottom, Pacific Ocean with his owner SpongeBob. He is voiced by Tom Kenny and first appears in the episode "Help Wanted." He is a domesticated house pet with similar mannerisms to a cat, most notably his "meow," sound but has royal blood, as seen in the episode "Rule of Dumb." In the said episode, the royal family tree proves that Gary and Patrick are in fact cousins, as their fathers were brothers. His mannerism and affinity for the finer things in life in previous episodes foreshadow his royal blood, with the only exception being his dislike for baths.
