Fluke and Rudder

Fluke and Rudder are two lazy California sea lions in the 2016 Disney•Pixar animated film Finding Dory. A running gag is when Gerald comes up on their rock, both of them bark, "Off! Off! Off!" at him to prevent other seals/sea lions from sitting on their rock.
==Appearances==
===Finding Dory===
Fluke and Rudder first appear when Marlin and Nemo accidentally wake them up from their nap on their rock. When the clownfish family asks them about the Marine Life Institute, they tell them that it is a fish hospital while describing their experiences there (Fluke with a nasal parasite and Rudder having anemia). Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of Gerald, whom they shoo off. The sea lions help the clownfish get in the Institute by calling their loon friend, Becky, to fly them in there. When Marlin mentions that he and Nemo need water, they trick Gerald into giving up his pail by inviting him on their rock before promptly kicking and shooing him off.
They next appear near the end as they watch the excitement of Dory saving her friends by vacating their rock (which is promptly taken over by Gerald) and despite not helping Dory, they are showered with fish (even being hit by a large one).
They last appear after the end credits where they are sleeping again on their rock, briefly shooing off Gerald again when he attempts to gain entry on the rock. They witness the Tank Gang being taken by the humans before resuming their nap, unknowingly being stalked by Gerald, who gives a devious laugh.
===Marine Life Interviews===
Fluke and Rudder appear in this short film where they comment on Dory about her encounters with the residents of the Marine Life Institute, along with Destiny, Bailey, and Hank.
==Video games==
===Disney Crossy Road===
In the now-discontinued game Disney Crossy Road, both Fluke and Rudder appeared as playable characters, along with their own ways to unlock each character. Fluke was the rare character for the Finding Dory weekend challenge, so he was unlocked by completing a certain amount of weekend challenges in the game. Rudder was made as a Disney Crossy Road toy that came with a token which could be scanned in-game to unlock the figurine. Both Fluke and Rudder also change all vehicle obstacles to sharks when selected.
==Disney Parks==
In Disney California Adventure, Fluke and Rudder can be seen in a Finding Dory-inspired billboard at Pixar Pier, telling visitors to keep Pixar Pier clean, along with some sea otters, Becky, Dory, and Gerald.

*Fluke and Rudder's recurring lines: "Off! Off! Off!" when shooing away Gerald is similar to the seagulls cawing, "Mine! Mine! Mine!" in Finding Nemo. It also bears similarities to actual sea lions barking.
