**Captain Horatio Turbot** (usually identified as **Cap'n Turbot**) is one of the main human characters on *PAW Patrol*. He serves as an official member of the PAW Patrol team in the special episodes "Pups Save a Mer-Pup" and "Sea Patrol: Pups Save Puplantis." He was also added to the show's theme song from Season 3 onward, where he is shown helping the PAW Patrol on a mission.

Cap'n Turbot is a super-smart marine biologist who loves all kinds of animals. He and his cousin, Francois, like to look for rare species. Cap'n Turbot tends to use alliterative words and scientific lingo that can confuse those around him. He is nerdy and clumsy, and often inadvertently causes problems that only Ryder and the pups can solve. He is quick to panic in these situations. Despite his awkwardness, Cap'n Turbot knows plenty in regard to bodies of water, such as the bay and its channels. He owns the lighthouse at Seal Island and has a responsibility to keep the light functional. He also has a boat, the *Flounder*, and a diving bell that he uses for underwater research.

Cap'n Turbot is book-smart and knows a lot about marine biology. He has an interest in paleontology and nature photography. He often tends to speak alliteratively. For example, in the following quote of his, "Is it *p*otentially *p*ossible within your *P*AW *P*atrol *p*owers [...]". He is shown to have strange tastes when it comes to food. Cap'n Turbot enjoys the tastes of squid jerky (a piece of which he always carries as a snack), fish cookies, and even pup food like fish-shaped dog treats and liver sausages. He is best friends with Wally the Walrus.

Cap'n Turbot has light skin, brown hair, and wears blue colored square-shaped eyeglasses. He also wears a red toboggan hat to cover his hair, a light blue-colored polo shirt with yellow overalls covering it and dark brown boots.

Below is a gallery of all the attires Cap'n Turbot has worn in the series:

The *Flounder* is Cap'n Turbot's boat. He uses it most often in the first season. It is yellow with a red top and a steering wheel. The boat had gray sections in earlier episodes. Since "Pups and the Beanstalk", it has had purple sections. The boat also has headlights, which are turned on at night. Cap'n Turbot generally uses the ship to travel across the Bay. He also uses it to take the Grover Goodway statue to get cleaned in "Pups Save a Goodway". Crates are stored inside the *Flounder*, as shown in "Pups Save the Penguins".

Cap'n Turbot uses the diving bell to travel underwater. It is introduced in "Pups Save the Diving Bell", in which he and Francois set out to take a photo of the Giant Sea Slug. He upgrades it with a talking computer system named Seabee in "Pups Save a Chicken of the Sea". Seabee is able to control the bell and communicate with others.

Cap'n Turbot also has a cell phone, which he uses to control the diving bell in "Pups Save a Chicken of the Sea". The phone can also display the inside of the diving bell via its camera. It is green with a fish scale design.

Cap'n Turbot owns a truck that he uses to travel on land. It has the same color scheme as the *Flounder*, a squid logo on the side and an anchor logo on the front. The truck is introduced in "Pups Save Walinda".

Cap'n Turbot is an expert when it comes to the sea and its inhabitants. He is able to man the *Flounder* by himself and steer it away from obstacles like whales and rocks. He can also operate the diving bell, which he uses on a PAW Patrol mission in "Pups Save a Mer-Pup". Cap'n Turbot knows how to swim in deep water, as shown in episodes such as "Pups and the Ghost Pirate". He is a skilled photographer and takes perfect nature photos in multiple episodes.
