His glob shot ability shows up in the HUD as .

## Personality

Kenny is optimistic, cheerful,...

However, Kenny is also extremely gullible as he lead the G3 Cartel to Gatlus, an event that lead to the near-extinction and enslavement of his race?

After the invasion of Gatlus and the subsequent enslavement of his species by the G3, Kenny feels extremely guilty and ashamed of his actions, being so ashamed that he felt forced to tell his friends the truth otherwise Lezduit would tell them when he would get resurrected, which was proven true because when he learned that Lezduit could only speak his name after Gene "repaired" him, he expresses regret for telling his friends the truth.

## Story

Kenny is a gatlian who was born on the planet Gatlus, a planet isolated on an asteroid belt's far edge. All his life, people thought of him as a loser, and he desired to prove himself and be of use for something. Gatlus was completely untouched by other interstellar civilizations, but this all changed when the alien smuggler, Rel Delmar, crash landed on the planet. With aid from Kenny, Rel's vessel was repaired and he offered him a spot in his crew. Rel had dealings all over the galaxy, including with the G3 Cartel and their leader, Garmantuous. The cartel leader, who, had never seen an alien like Kenny before, asked him to lead the cartel to Gatlus, which he gullibly did. Soon after, a battle ensued, leading victory for the Gatlians at first. This all changed when the Cartel returned with the aid of Dr. Gurgula, who unleashed a supervirus on the planet, changing most of the population into brain-dead zombies, with only a handful being immune and forming a resistance, led by Lezduit, one of the toughest and strongest Gatlians. Unfortunately, Lezduit was killed and, as he was dying, Kenny told him the truth out of guilt.

Kenny was later implanted with an inhibitor chip which prevented him from talking and forced him to work only for Rel.

A few years later, Garmantuous visited Earth with Nipulon, Dr. Giblets and Rel, carrying Kenny, who presumably led them here to test the quality of humans as drugs, and after Garmantuous tried Mr. Pilfrey, a local human, he decided to invade Earth and exploit humans, soon after, in what appears to be a double-crossing, Rel gets shot dead by Nipulon under Garmantuous' orders, his fall dislodged Kenny's inhibitor chip a little, allowing Kenny to speak for the first time in probably years, he screamed for help when a random human picked him up.

When the human picked up Kenny, he spat all over them, infecting them with translator microbes that lets the human understand what he says and asked them to remove the inhibitor chip completely. He explained to the human that Garmantuous would turn the entire human race into drugs and reluctantly asks them to use him as a gun and shoot G3 grunts appearing out of a G3 warp base, intending to use the Warp Drive to transport the human's house to Blim City.

In the new DLC of High on Life, during the 2 year gap, it was revealed that the Bounty Hunter had lost one of his guns which was Kenny, according to the news reporter. Somewhere in the middle of the DLC game, Gene revealed that the Bounty Hunter had accidentally dropped Kenny during a mission.

## Trivia

* He is voiced by Justin Roiland, famously known for voicing Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith.
* Kenny is the character who breaks the fourth wall the most.
* Kenny is shown to be quite gullible on who to trust such as immediately trusting Douglas who pretended to be Dr. Joopy.
* Kenny's previous partner Rel Delmar (who died at the beginning of the game) dresses almost exactly like Han Solo from the Star Wars Films.
* When using the elevator at Port Terrene, Kenny will mention various Anime films and games such as Akira, Evangelion, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger and Resident Evil, including the Cartoon Network show Code Lyoko.
* Kenny had been excluded from the new DLC of the game because the voice actor of Kenny (Justin Roiland) was kicked out of Squanch Games and Adult Swim after he was charged with felony domestic battery and false imprisonment in 2020 stemming from an incident with a woman he was dating, whose name was kept anonymous. The charges against him were not published until January 2023, hence, he was excluded. Squanch Games decided it wasn't worth finding a new voice actor for Kenny as they thought it would just backfire immediately. So, they entirely excluded him from the new DLC.
