### Enemy Type

Other

**Big Lenny** is a large hostile jellyfish who roams his nest in the Tutorial and the halls of Squidward's Monument, serving as the main threat of the latter level and a minor-prime example enemy of the former level. Unlike other jellyfish, Big Lenny's stings can kill his victims, with Dr. Manowar being the only fish to survive a sting. He was modeled with smooth edges after Dave was convinced by Padre to give Big Lenny smooth edges rather than sharp edges for Lenny to look more intimidating, something Dave usually doesn't do.

## Appearance

Similar to Dr. Manowar's illustrations, Big Lenny is a large reddish-purple jellyfish with a large, creepy humanoid face with a large nose (tiny in illustrations), and a large mouth. He has purple spots on his forehead and ten tentacles. He has two dark eyes with no pupils or irises.

## Behavior

Unlike other enemies (excluding Jelliens), Big Lenny appears in two levels, being in the Tutorial and in Squidward's Monument.

### Tutorial

In the Tutorial, Big Lenny wanders around his nest until he has spot the player, in which he will give chase. His slow speed allows him to be easily outrun (Although it is harder if the player is Patrick). He wanders in a circle-like pattern and the player can use nearby kelp and rocks to hide from him. According to his gameover screen, if the player has been caught, they need to outrun their foe until it loses interest and returns to wandering, although most of the time, the enemy will catch the player.

### Squidward's Monument

Here, Big Lenny behaves similarly to the Tutorial, but he now has a full patrol route. He will spawn on the first floor after the player goes up the stairs or the elevator. When chasing the player, Big Lenny can enter rooms if he saw the player entering them (so if you hide in the closet after he spots you, you are screwed). When first spotting the player, Big Lenny will slowly approach them while charging up a bolt. He usually takes 3-4 seconds to charge up the bolt. After it is charged, he will shoot the bolt at the player's current location. The bolt will automatically kill the player if they get hit. However, it is easily avoidable, so if the player dodges the volt, Big Lenny can do nothing but follow the player. However, Big Lenny will shoot another bolt the next time he spots the player

## Plot

In the Tutorial, Big Lenny guards a treasure chest in his nest that Mr. Krabs seeks out. Mr. Krabs, not feeling adventurous, decides to send SpongeBob or Patrick (depending on the player) to sneak into Big Lenny's nest and collect the treasure chest.

In Squidward's Monument, Big Lenny is roaming due to the annual migration season. He decides to break into Squidward's house to make it his new nest (presumably because of the Jelliens taking over Jellyfish Fields). He then consumes an expired pie from Squidward's pantry which greatly enrages him. Big Lenny then searches for Squidward to kill him after realizing that he is also in the house. After the invasion was over, Big Lenny most likely fled back to Jellyfish Fields, as at the end of No SpongeBob Day, Big Lenny had no presence in the house.

## Trivia

* Big Lenny is the only jellyfish that has been seen post-invasion that is not a Jellien or a clone. He still acts as an enemy though because he is naturally hostile, alien or not.
* The reason for Big Lenny not being cloned could be multiple reasons; he is too strong for the Jelliens to get a hold of in order to clone him, the Jelliens are too scared of him, or he simply has not encountered any yet.
* The reason he may want to nest in Squidward's Monument could be to hide from the Jelliens overtaking Jellyfish Fields.
	+ Patrick reveals in the Tutorial that he knows of a shortcut to Jellyfish Fields near his house, meaning that Big Lenny likely used this same shortcut to reach their neighborhood and, by extension, the Monument itself.
* As SpongeBob reveals in the episode "I'm Your Biggest Fanatic," Only one person has survived an attack from Big Lenny- Dr. Manowar. However, he did not escape unharmed, as he has a sore on the side of his face from the sting, which causes pain if it is touched.
* In Squidward's Monument, he clips through all walls when crossing doors, due to the fact that he has a larger model.
	+ This also applies to the Pearl Clone in 3451 Anchor Way.

* According to the developer commentary, Big Lenny was one of the first characters to have smooth edges on his model, instead of sharp edges. This was apparently done to make him look more intimidating.
* He was originally going to appear in the Salty Spittoon in Goo Lagoon but was scrapped for an unknown reason.
* If the player chooses to play the Tutorial, Big Lenny is the first enemy encountered that can kill the player.
* Additionally, if the player avoids Patrick's harmless jumpscare earlier on in the level, Big Lenny would be the first character to be able to jumpscare the player.
* In the Demo version of the game, Big Lenny would sometimes visit the art studio in Squidward's monument. However, In the Full version, This is no longer the case, as Big Lenny would only float on the door when chasing the player.
* Big Lenny, Prince Jellien , and Ol Bessy are the only jellyfishes that can shoot/emit electricity projectiles.
* According to Padre Snowmizzle, Big Lenny was added because Padre wanted an enemy who appeared once in an episode and in *SpongeBob SquarePants: Operation Krabby Patty*. However, Big Lenny made a cameo in two SpongeBob episodes, "I'm Your Biggest Fanatic" and "Jolly Lodgers". In the former episode, he appears as an illustration, and in the latter episode, he appears as part of Dr. Manowar's merchandise.
