Shelldon

Shelldon is a main character of the show *Death To Joy.* He debuts in the episode *Thou Shell Not Kill*.

## Personality and Appearnace

* Shelldon is a green, slimy snail with a huge IQ rate and the occupation of a scientist. He doesn't have any legs and crawls in order to walk around, though much faster than normal snails. Weirdly enough, he has two human-like arms which are not covered in slime, in contrast with the rest of his body.
* He has a brown shell in his back, which seems to be big enough for Shelldon to hide inside. His head is round and he also has a visible chin. His eyes protrude on the top of his head, like real-life snails. Between the eyes and his large mouth, a small, brown mustache exist, the only piece of hair Shelldon has. He wears a white laboratory robe with a pencil in its right and only pocket. He doesn't wear any form of pants.
* Shelldon has managed to make a lot of unbelievable inventions, revealing that his intelligence must be extremely high. Ironically, he is usually unable to think of the consequences of his weird experiments and invetions beforehand, leading to death of him and his friends'. Sometimes, he seems to give out some "mad scientist" vibes, however, he almost never does malicious acts and thoughts. He is actually a very caring and kind character, which sometimes is responsible for his horrible fates. He has some of the worst deaths in the entire series.
* He is based on the character *Shelldon* by the game *Peggle Blast*. His appearance, personality and even his name are the same from said game. His name is a pun from the casual name "Sheldon", but with a double L so the word "shell" is formed.

## Episode Count & Deaths

**5. Thou Shell Not Kill:** his enormous mass of intestines explodes, after it bursts from Bjorn's horn.

**8. OK, Boomer!**: melts and decomposes by salt.

## Trivia

* His first appearance, death and kill are all from the episode *Thou Shell Not Kill.*
* His first death is considered the most bloody death in the entire series, a foreshadowing of his usual horrible deaths throughout the show.
* Sometimes, when he is walking, he leaves a trail of slime. This slime is slippery, as it has been proven by some characters getting slipped from it.
* He is one of the two characters to have a shell, the other is Bob. Weirdly enough, we have never seen Shelldon entering his shell, but we did with Bob.
* Just like a lot of characters, he has a lot of trails and characteristics that don't fit in his species. He has red blood, human inner organs, teeth, a skeleton, two human hands, mustache and crawls with the speed of a walking man.
	+ On the other hand, he has some traits that describe snails. For example, he crawls in order to move, he is slimy and salt dissolves his body.
* He is the first character to be introduced that appears exclusively on *Peggle Blast*.
* Many people see similarities between him and Alen. Both are green, smart, kind and usually die in horrific ways.
* He is probably the character to be the best "copy" of his *Peggle counterpart.*
* Shelldon being in the show probably explains why Jimmy isn't a scientist like his counterpart in *Peggle Nights*. Two scientists in the show would be a pleonasm.
