The Chum Bucket glove is a giant glove owned by Sheldon Plankton and Karen Plankton. It usually appears as an outside decor of the Chum Bucket, but it has also been personified as a character of its own. It makes its first major appearance as the main antagonist in "Handemonium."
Description
It is a giant dark purple glove with violet stripes. It is usually seen as an inanimate fist on top of the Chum Bucket, but sometimes can be seen alive or moving. It usually has either four or five fingers. Karen Plankton's system is built into the glove, and she can talk from inside it, as seen in "20,000 Patties Under the Sea."
Role in series
It appears in most episodes that feature the Chum Bucket, but in most episodes it does not have a major appearance. In a few appearances, it is separated from the Chum Bucket or given sentience.
