List of Earthworm Jim Characters - Bob The Killer Goldfish

Bob the Killer Goldfish is featured as a boss in all four of the games. Bob, being just a goldfish, rides around in a small glass bowl and gets his feline minions, particularly Number Four, to do all the work for him. In the cartoon series, he wants Jim's supersuit so that he can have legs and mobility.

Bob himself doesn't put up much of a fight. In Earthworm Jim, Jim simply knocks his bowl off a table and leaves him to flop around on the floor as Jim exits the level. In Earthworm Jim 2, in a parody of video game boss encounters, Bob is introduced with a Mortal Kombat-style "Fight!" message, only to have Jim pluck him from his bowl and eat him. In Earthworm Jim 3D, Bob and Number Four appear in a boss fight at the end of the fourth world, which has a cowboy theme. In Menace 2 The Universe, he actually puts up a trap in his fight, and jumps out of his bowl to flick a switch to activate it.

In the television series, Bob has a deep southern drawl. Bob also focuses his attention on universal conquest. He spends much of his time attempting to convince fish to embark on a destructive rampage, usually to no avail. Bob's dialogue, when attempting to inspire his fellow fish to "Go forth and Destroy!", is often backed by slow instrumental gospel music, making him sound much like a televangelist.

On the cartoon, Bob was voiced by Jim Cummings.

Bob was ranked #38 in IGN's top 100 video game villains list.
