Big Boss

Click here to see quotes from Big Boss.
**Bibou "Big Boss"** (formerly known as **Big D** in *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*) is the main antagonist of *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise* and *Sammy & Co*. He is a tyrannical seahorse who bends on trying to conquer the reef village in order to regain his status as a "leader" and get his revenge on Sammy.

## Appearance

Big Boss has red scales on the front of the tail with a slightly lighter red scales on the stomach. He has red eyes, light-purple fins, and eyelids.

## Personality

Big Boss is cold, cunning, determined, megalomaniac, pretentious, and above all tyrannical. His current goal is to conquer the reef village and overthrow Sammy to regain his status as a "leader" as well as getting his revenge on the sea turtle after the latter freed all the inhabitants from "The Tank" after the events of *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*. He has a habit of losing his temper easily, usually whenever things don't go his way as he plans and he would often blame Marco, Philippe, and/or Jax for it. Despite his small stature, he is greatly feared by the villagers because of his tyrannical nature as well as his actions when they all used to live with him in the Tank.

However, because of his selfishness, he has a very sensitive ego and doesn't react well when someone offends his pride. This is seen in "Big Boss the Hero" when after he had a nightmare of being unable to take over the reef village, he loses faith in his strength and he nearly gives up wanting to achieve his goal.

Prior to the events of the series, he was a selfish tyrant who ruled the Tank with an iron fist with propaganda about himself attempting to rescue the other marine life from the Tank through his so-called "escape plan", not caring if he causes the sea creatures harm in the process. He had also subjected others to extreme punishments, such as trapping Leopold in an ice cube without feeling remorse for his actions. It is also later revealed in the film that he doesn't truly want to leave the Tank and he actually enjoys being the tyrant of the aquarium. However now that he, Marco, Philippe, and Jax all live outside the reef village that serves as Sammy and his clan's new home, Big Boss is now willing to get his revenge on the villagers to regain his status as their "leader" by conquering the reef.

## Relationships

### Marco, Philippe, and Jax

During his time at the Tank, Big Boss has Marco and Philippe as his henchmen and lackeys. He has always counted on them to follow his every command due to their fierce loyalty to him and willing to help him achieve his goals by taking over the reef village. And because of Big Boss's tyrannical behavior, he dictates to the two moray eel brothers and he would get easily irritated whenever they didn't correctly follow what he said, usually to their low intelligence.

Jax is also on Big Boss's side, and he would often help him with his many schemes to take over the reef village.

### Sammy and Ray

When Sammy and Ray are taken to an aquarium with Lulu and Jimbo in *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*, they all met Big Boss who's the tyrant of the Tank. Big Boss immediately shows hostile to the two turtles and have tried to kill them when they refused to follow his orders and instead, they want to help the sea creatures escape from both the Tank and his tyranny. But before the sea creatures all escape from the Tank near the end of the film, Sammy and Ray both trapped Big Boss into a fishbowl as a punishment for his cruelty to the inhabitants. Now that Big Boss somehow escapes from the fishbowl, he vows to get his revenge on Sammy and Ray after they escape from his dictatorship by trying to conquer the reef village to regain his leader status throughout the *Sammy & Co* series.

### Ricky, Ella, Pipo, and Annabel

Since Ricky and Ella are both a grandchild to Ray and Sammy respectively, Big Boss views them and their friends as his enemies. The kids would constantly have to sabotage Big Boss's many schemes to prevent him from taking over the reef village since they're all aware of his actions during his time living in the Tank in *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*.

### The Rockfish

At first, Big Boss views Glitz, Crudd, and Babbles as nothing but a gang of kids who like to cause trouble for the sake of it. However, later episodes establish that Big Boss starts to show fondness to the Rockfish and appreciates how they're willing to help him with his many plans to take over the reef village, affectionately call the group his "little horrors". Big Boss once hired them as his assistants to trap Philippe and his new friends inside a cave after the former quit working for Big Boss in "Moray's Word of Honor", but he then fired the Rockfish after they're unable to set up a decent trap for him. Despite all of this, the Rockfish continues to be on Big Boss's side and often give him numerous ideas for him to take over the reef.

The only time in which the Rockfish are against Big Boss is in "Big Boss the Hero". When Big Boss, Marco, Philippe, and Jax are all surrounded by two barracudas while traveling outside the reef, he was forced to guide the barracudas to the reef village to prevent them from eating them. However, he can't bear to see the villagers being eaten by the barracudas so he decided to change his plan and guide them to the shipwreck instead, unaware that the Rockfish, Ricky, Ella, Pipo, and Annabel are all in there. Upon realizing his mistake, he asked the villagers for his help to rescue the kids, but the kids all managed to save themselves and tell on the villagers about Big Boss's plan to guide the barracudas to the reef after the barracudas reveal it to them. This causes the Rockfish to all turn against Big Boss upon realizing how merciless he is for almost guiding the barracudas to eat everyone up and have lied to the villagers about trying to "save" the kids.

### Lucille

Despite Lucille's manipulative and tyrannical behavior, Big Boss seems to love his mother very much. However, he's aware that her only goal is to take control over everything she likes and see, especially to her own son and he's somewhat afraid of her. Before her visit, he had lied to her that he has successfully taken over the reef village in the hope to impress her, but she's very upset when she found out about the lie and belittles him for his failures when she visited him in "Big Mama". Later when Lucille manages to take over the reef, Big Boss came to try to stand up to her but she continues to belittle him for his lack of self-confidence to take over the reef. But after she and Big Boss accidentally reveal their plan to the villagers, on account of both Ricky and Ella, Lucille is proud of his son for standing up for her while they're arguing to each other at the village and they both start to show respect to each other.

### Leopold

Big Boss doesn't care much about his cousin when the two were living in "The Tank" during the events of *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*. As seen in the film, Big Boss subjects him to extreme punishment by trapping him in an ice cube, showing that he has no remorse for his own relatives because of his tyrannical nature. In "The Godfather", Big Boss refuses to help Leopold by babysitting his eight kids because his mind is focused on trying to come up with another plan to conquer the reef village after his previous plan failed. However, Big Boss changes his mind when he realizes that Leopold's children are super intelligent than his moray eels in comparison, so he accepts the offer of babysitting the kids while Leopold's away. Later when Big Boss gets caught yelling at the octuplets by Leopold at the end of the episode, he doesn't care about his action when Leopold angrily scold at him that he'll never trust him for babysitting his kids ever again.

### Leopold's children

Just like with Leopold, Big Boss doesn't care much about his first cousins once removed. When Leopold left his children under Big Boss's care in "The Godfather", Big Boss has taken advantage of their naiveness and put them in training to become his henchmen as part of another one of his plans to take over the reef village. He treated each of them poorly by being a drill sergeant to them during their training and he refuses to let them have fun until they could conquer the reef for him. After Big Boss once again failed to take over the reef, thanks to Marco and Philippe joining Ricky, Ella, Pipo, and Annabel after Big Boss fired them earlier in the episode, he scolds and blames them for their failure which causes them to all tell on their father about it after he returns from his trip to the spa.

## Trivia

* Big Boss is one of the few characters to have their name changed for the *Sammy & Co* series. He was originally called Big D in *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*.
	+ Because of it, he and Leopold are the only members of their family to have their name changed.
	+ The "D" in his original title might have stood for "dictator", as he uses his propaganda to continue his dictatorship over the sea life in the Tank in the film. However, it's possible that his name is changed to Big Boss because the "D" in his original title can be view as an innuendo.
* It's revealed in "The Bottomless Hole" that Big Boss is afraid of the dark.
* As seen in "The Bottomless Hole", "The Braggarts", and "Game Crazy", Big Boss seems to like collecting pearls.
* In "A Perfect Ocean", Big Boss's counterpart is shown to be friends with Sammy's counterpart.
