life
Samson is an accident-prone, nerdy, neat freak, and luckynees guinea pig who wears large spectacles. He has terrible luck, is easily hurt and is known as the "Camp Wimp" and is constantly pushed around by some of his fellow campers. Due to his numerous physical weaknesses, he has an assortment of "health buddies" named "Nasal Allergy Buddy", "Asthma Buddy", "Foot Fungus Buddy", "Eyeball Buddy and "Skin Rash Buddy".

He has a hard time fitting-in, is commonly ignored by other scouts and doesn't have any real friends at Camp Kidney. When social, he is usually seen with Edward, only to be pushed around by Edward's dominating personality. When upset or agitated, he will repeatedly say "merp" or "nerts" (an onomatopoeia for a noise guinea pig makes).

He is part of the Fava Cabin along with Dave and Ping-Pong and is the postmaster for both of the scouts' camps; he picks up mail at the main post office in Prickly Pines before delivering it to either Acorn Flats or Camp Kidney. In one episode he became camp bully.

Samson also seems to have some sort of rivalry with Raj, the two had a bitter argument over who owned a hot spring; later they decided to share it. Samson is convinced that some new scouts are aliens but the only people who will believe Samson are minor background characters. Raj makes fun of his situation by saying "You think it makes a difference if those vague background characters believe you? Surely you can do better than that!", which only provokes Samson further in trying to redeem himself. It is later revealed that Samson's new "friends" were the aliens in disguise and that they were only using him and even refer to him as obese. Samson's weight is a point for others to poke fun at him, both Edward and Commander Hoo-hah have called Samson by the unflattering nickname "Butterball" and Raj and Edward have also called him "Dough-boy". Even though he has no friends Lazlo seems to be the only one who is nice to Samson.

Later episodes in the series has shown that he seems to have trouble when it comes to making friends or not being interrupted while speaking. He keeps a secret journal, where it's revealed that he really wants to be Lazlo's friend. Samson could possibly be adopted due to his parents being jellyfish. It seems he resorts to talking to frozen cavemen, who goes berserk; and talking to rocks, which slithers away, because no one else will listen to him. Multivitamins are his favorite food. Samson is voiced by Jeff Bennett.
