**Fat Kids** are characters from the *Alien Hominid* series. They are a group of children that befriended Alien Hominid, and try to assist him in retrieving his spaceship from the FBI.

## Background

Fat Kid made his first appearance in the flash version of *Alien Hominid*. After Alien Hominid crashes lands on Earth, he is greeted by a Fat Kid, who cheerfully waves at him. As the first level starts, the Fat Kid walks by, which gives Alien Hominid the opportunity to attack him. Whether or not the player attacks or spares the Fat Kid, FBI Agents will then appear to fight Alien Hominid when the Fat Kid disappears.

In the console version of *Alien Hominid*, a Fat Kid witnesses the FBI shooting down Alien Hominid's ship. The agents leave Alien Hominid for dead, cleaning up the area to remove evidence that there was an alien on Earth, up to stealing the observing Fat Kid's ice cream. Later, two FBI Agents are harassing a Fat Kid and stealing his pocket money. Fat Kids become a major ally for Alien Hominid, giving him power-ups for his gun, and travel alongside him through Anywhere, USA, Russia, and Area 51. At Arena 51, Alien Hominid has a final battle with the government, as the force him to fight Alien Prisoner. The battle takes place on Alien Prisoner's ship. While Alien Hominid defeats Alien Prisoner, the ship explodes, sending Alien Hominid falling back to Earth. Unconscious, he is rescued by the Fat Kids, who bring him to his ship. In anger, the government chases the Fat Kids down. As thanks for saving him, Alien Hominid uses his ship's tractor beam to transfer the Fat Kids to safety.

## Character Interactions

### Hatty Hattington

sIn*BattleBlock Theater*, all playable characters are referred to as "prisoners". The game's story mode shows that these prisoners are friends of Hatty Hattington, and they embarked on a journey on Hatty's ship. Their voyage ended abruptly when the ship got caught in a storm, and crashed onto BattleBlock Theater. The residents of the theater, the Cat Guards, capture Hatty and his friends, brainwashing Hatty to be their leader and forcing the crewmates to become actors in their dangerous theater plays. As Fat Kid appears as a playable character, this means that Hatty befriended him prior to the game's events. Fat Kid works with the other crewmates to escape BattleBlock Theater and rescue Hatty.
