Prehistoric Gary is a snail and the prehistoric ancestor of Gary the Snail. He first appears in the episode "Ugh" and was owned by SpongeGar. He also appears in the video game Lights, Camera, Pants! and the online games B.C. Bowling and A Mission Through Time.
Description
He looks almost identical to the modern-day Gary, but he is much more larger. The only real differences are that Prehistoric Gary has light green spikes coming out from his shell like how a gigantspinosaurus has spines coming from its back, has three Stegosaurus-like tail spikes, the ones on the left and the right have the same size and the one in the middle has the smallest size among them, and sports a large thick black unibrow.
Role in episode
He first appears when SpongeGar leaves and says, "Bunooga ready! Tabunga, Gary." Gary does not move. SpongeGar then says more sternly, "Gary, tabunga!" Gary finally obeys. He knows Squog is very afraid of him due to his size. Prehistoric Gary leaves slime trails everywhere, which annoys Squog. His slime trails are commonly known as "tabunga" among the trio.
Role in Lights, Camera, Pants!
He is not a huge monster. Also, when the mouse rolls over him, captions are not seen.
Trivia
- His shell is similar to Gary the Snail's after SpongeBob and Patrick spray it with Kelp Grow in "Giant Squidward."
- Prehistoric Gary does not like Squog, similar to how Gary does not like Squidward.
