Appearance

Dwarfing every other Foxy Pirate, Big Pan blends both halves of his heritage into one giant frame. His fish-man side lends him slick mudfish skin, jagged teeth, and an orange dorsal fin, while his giant blood gives him orange hair and beard plus sheer bulk, though he still falls short of a true giant's scale. He usually sports yellow swim briefs, boots, gloves, and a Foxy Pirate mask, adding the strap-on ball for Groggy Ring bouts.

Personality

For all his size, Big Pan is hard of hearing and slow on the uptake. He shares the Groggy Monsters' habit of cackling at trivial things and gets along easily with his two teammates, who match his dim wits. Inside the Groggy Ring, however, he turns savage and merciless, and like the rest of Foxy's crew he is perfectly happy to cheat and bend the rules whenever the referee conveniently looks elsewhere.

Abilities

His mixed parentage grants him traits of both races. The giant in him supplies massive size and strength, while the pond loach in him coats his skin in slime that shrugs off blunt blows, leaving bladed attacks as his weakness. His true edge, though, is teamwork: alongside Hamburg and Pickles he chains together fluid combination attacks like Punk Pass, Size Attack, and the brutal Monster Burger, in which the trio tries to crush a foe between two enormous pans. He also smuggles concealed weapons into matches, including hidden boot spikes, an axe, and his signature giant pans.
