He does care about Dedede but understandably hates his treatment of him, and tries to get even when he can, throwing subtle insults right in Dedede's face which the King isn't nearly bright enough to catch on to - though on the rare occasion he still gets hit anyway just for talking when Dedede is mad.Įscargoon's true feelings became clear in Sweet & Sour Puss, where he sings a song saying how Dedede is always mean to him. Sometimes Dedede pulls pranks on him and scare him just because he can. His duties are numerous, from cooking to cleaning to giving back rubs to being Dedede's personal punching bag when the King is angry.

He has a tendency to make comparisons and similes (for example, in "Pink-Collar Blues", he compares asking the Waddle Dees a question to "interrogating a mime troupe.")Įscargoon is most often in the company of King Dedede as his assistant and he tries to ensure the King's well-being and happiness in any way he can, sometimes to the detriment of his own. Unlike King Dedede, he does not trust Customer Service, and rarely orders things from him. The Empty Nest Mess He builds various machines such as a submarine A Fish Called Kine, missiles Cappy New Year, and even a robotic version of himself Right Hand Robot. When Dedede doesn't order something from Nightmare Enterprises, he tends to use one of Escargoon's inventions instead, such as a formula that turns things into Demon Beasts. (Other than that he rarely wears any articles of clothing, except an occasional bow tie, sun hat, or scarf in cold weather.) He is the usual host of Channel DDD for newscasts and special programs.Įscargoon is quite intelligent with a wide range of knowledge in botany (he wrote an encyclopaedia on the subject called The Encyclopaedia of Botanica), chemistry and electronics/robotics. Since his mother says Escargoon is cowardly and would never hurt anyone, it would seem that the latter situation is more likely.Įscargoon can be quite cheerful and animated at times, and often does oddly effeminate things such as wearing frilly aprons with hearts. It is not clear whether he really is mean and only acts nice when he needs something, or if he has a good side of him that does not show because he is perpetually helping Dedede with his schemes in order to gain his approval. He can be quite mean and naughty towards people in general, using his status as the King's assistant to lend him the right to boss people around or threaten them with the death penalty (in the Japanese version only). There's the part of him that helps Dedede with his schemes and tricks, but he seems to have a genuinely nice side to him that only appears in extreme situations.Įscargoon's mannerism gives the impression of someone past his youth, and tends to get quite grumpy with the children of the village. While it carries no meaning, it is an altered pronunciation of です (Desu), which means Japanese for "is", or "to be".Įscargoon has two distinct sides to his personality. He has a verbal tick like King Dedede, ending most of his sentences with "-gesu". Escargon, but only for the first few episodes. In the original Japanese version, Escargoon is given the title Dr. Unfortunately, the real world was harsh, and he ended up working for King Dedede in Dream Land. When he grew up, he left home, promising his mother that he'd make her proud. He has a short, light green hair and goatee, and only four teeth.Įscargoon grew up in a small house on a farm with his mother somewhere on Pop Star. His eyes are green as well, and rise over the rest of his head on a stalk.

His skin is lavender, and his shell is dark green. Escargoon is an anthropomorphic escargot/snail (hence the name) who comes up to Dedede's shoulder.
