Crudd

**Crudd** is a recurring antagonist of *Sammy & Co*. He is a young rockfish who is a student in Lulu's class at the shell school in the reef village located in the Southern Seas, and one of the rivals to Ricky, Ella, Pipo, and Annabel. He is also the second-in-command of a gang of scorpfish bullies.

## Appearance

Crudd is a fish with dark brown scales and slightly lighter scales at the ends of the fins and in the lower body. His corneas are cinnamon-colored, while the iris are slightly darker. He also has very sharp teeth.

## Personality

Crudd is a brutish and tough-talking rockfish with a mean attitude and demeanor. As the second-in-command to Glitz, he is a bully who likes to use his status to intimidates his classmates who get in his way and he enjoys causing chaos around him with his friends without showing any concern if his "victim" is weaker than he is since he sees himself as the most fearful student of the class.

## Relationships

### Glitz

Crudd serves as Glitz's second-in-command of their gang and he always follows her lead to insult and makes fun of their classmates. Crudd also has a huge crush on her, but he is afraid that she doesn't feel the same way to him since she's his ringleader. However, the two accidentally share their first kiss in "The Shark's Tooth" after Albert spits Glitz out of his mouth and she happened to launch into Crudd's face which causes them to kiss, much to Crudd's surprise and happiness before he denies that the kiss never happens to avoid revealing to Glitz he really likes her.

Because of his crush on her, Crudd wants to do whatever he can to impress her and tell her how he really feels about her. After he listened to Lulu's story about Princess Coraline being rescued by a knight known as white crab by the queen of the moray eel in "The Legend of Coraline and White Crab, the Knight", he decided to venture to the den of the red crabs outside the reef village so he could fight their ruler, Giant Crab, in the hope that Glitz would fall in love with him for his bravery. However, upon reaching the cave, Crudd changes his mind about fighting the Giant Crab so he decided to pick a nice bouquet of seaweed further down into the cave for Glitz instead. Because of Crudd's disappearance in the reef, he is surprised that his classmates come all the way to the cave so they could "rescue" him, Glitz especially feels with relief that she kisses him. Crudd reveals to Glitz that he chose to not fight the Giant Crab, which causes Glitz to become angry at him for not being in danger as well as being asked for another kiss that she electrocutes him, but Crudd doesn't care about being electrocuted by her and instead, he continues to feel lovestruck. After the kids are back in the reef, Crudd asks Glitz if she wants him to fight another sea monster for her, but only to get rejected by her when Glitz tells him that he should be happy she still wants to order him around.

### Babbles

Crudd is friends with Babbles and they somewhat get along with each other. He is aware of Babbles' unrequited crush on Ella and he would often tease him about it.

### Big Boss

Like the rest of the Rockfish, Crudd has huge admiration for Big Boss and he's willing to help him with his many schemes to take over the reef village so that the gang can be view as the most fearful members of the reef.

But although Crudd looks up to Big Boss, there's a rare occasion where he and the rest of the Rockfish are against him. When the kids are all stuck in a lobster trap inside the shipwreck and Big Boss mistakenly guide two barracudas to them in "Big Boss the Hero", they found out from a barracuda that Big Boss has promised the two predators that he'll guide them to the reef village to eat everyone in there, unaware that Big Boss only said it so he could protect himself, Marco, Philippe, and Jax from being eaten by them. This causes him and the rest of the Rockfish to turn against Big Boss and tell on the villagers about his plan to guide the barracudas to the reef and have lied to the villagers about trying to "save" the kids.

### Ricky

Like the rest of the Rockfish, Crudd has a hatred to Ricky and he takes any chance he can to humiliate him and crush his ego, including framing him in "Vengeance Under the Shell" and scaring him by appearing behind him as seen in multiple episodes.

### Ella

Just like with Ricky, Crudd has a huge dislike to Ella and always teases her for being Lulu's favorite student. He also isn't afraid to use violence and intimidation on her, like in "A Perfect Ocean" when he forcibly takes her shell away from her. Crudd even insults Ella's appearance in "Sweet Scorpfish" for her "green complexion [and] bulging eyes", which angers Babbles since the latter has a crush on her.

### Pipo

Like as he is with the rest of his class, Crudd is disrespectful and rude towards Pipo.

### Annabel

Although they're rivals to each other because Annabel is friends with Ricky and his friends, the two manages to get along with each other in "The Pearl Hunt" when they're forced by Lulu to work together as a pair to search for a pearl as part of their assignment to teach his students the importance of teamwork. But rather than searching for the pearl together, Crudd and Annabel instead hang out and enjoy spending time together at the bubble bath clam and playing the coin toss after they both found a coin in the reef.

In other episodes after "The Pearl Hunt", Crudd would often tease Annabel as if they're rivals again, which implies that Crudd and Annabel have a neutral relationship and they can get along as friends if their respective friends aren't around.

## Trivia

* In the original French version, he is called Crass.
* In the Polish version, he is called Bąbel.
* Crudd's name is a play on the word "crude", which fits his role as a cruel and rough member of the gang.
* When the solar eclipse is about to happen in "In Places for the Eclipse!", it causes Crudd to feel very hot.
