Big Pan is the towering former Foxy Pirate and combatant of the Groggy Monsters. A wotan born of a loach fish-man and a giant, he served as a major obstacle during the Davy Back Fight of the Long Ring Long Land Arc.
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.
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.
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.

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
