Robby The Seal is one of the deuteragonists (other one being Pingo) in the British/Swiss animated series
He is Pingu's best friend and first met him in the Series 1 episode Pingu Goes Fishing where he kept stealing and eating the bait Pingu was using to fish and tricked him into thinking he was collecting lots of fish when it was the same one. Pingu eventually catches Robby and pursues him and stops him from escaping back into the sea by covering up the two holes in the ice.
When attempting to escape, Robby hurts his flipper and a remorseful Pingu comforts him, which causes Robby's flipper to heal. Seeing kindness in Pingu, Robby dives into the sea and brings Pingu a large fish and the two become friends.
As well as Pingu, Robby is also friends with Pingo and Pingu's sister Pinga.
Introduction[]
Robby is a solitary seal who lives in the icy waters of Antarctica. He met Pingu when he was fishing. The seal enjoyed stealing Pingu's bait and eating it.
Physical Appearance[]
Robby belongs to the species "Leptonychotes weddellii", commonly known as the "Weddell seal". His coat is grey, although this characteristic should not be confused with the grey seal species, which is often found in the northern hemisphere of the globe.
Personality[]
Robby is full of energy and enthusiasm for everything he does and is always eager to inspire Pingu to join in his activities. Robby can also be a bit of a prankster and can sometimes cause trouble, which means "double trouble" when he is with Pingu. He can get himself into comical situations.
Abilities[]
As a character made entirely of plasticine (material used for "stop motion" or "volume animation"), Robby can alter his body infinitely and as he wants. He can form a circle with his entire body and start rolling like a car wheel to move very quickly. Being an excellent swimmer, he can move in the icy waters of the ice floe and catch all kinds of fish. One ability he has, like circus sea lions, is that he can do acrobatics, such as juggling objects, while using the tip of his snout.

Trivia[]
