CharacterPakuPaku Dude is a fish-shaped Lemures from Sailor Moon SuperS, called up by JunJun to hold off the Sailor Guardians. A hulking carp monster, he features in a single episode of the season before the heroines dispose of him.
Also Known As
Appearance
PakuPaku Dude blends a swimmer's build with the body of a carp, producing an oversized fish monster. The carp element ties directly into his name and his signature habit of gulping things down.
History
The trouble starts when JunJun pulls the dream mirror from a man tending to fish, someone she had wrongly pegged as Chibiusa's boyfriend. The Sailor Guardians rush in to stop her, so she conjures PakuPaku Dude to keep them busy. The monster swallows the dream mirror whole, then lunges to devour Super Sailor Chibi Moon, only for Tuxedo Mask to shut his jaws with a well-aimed rose. That opening lets Sailor Chibi Moon summon Pegasus through Twinkle Yell, after which Super Sailor Moon wipes out PakuPaku Dude using Moon Gorgeous Meditation.

Abilities
His threat comes from his enormous mouth, which he uses to consume dream mirrors and to attempt swallowing his enemies outright. His name borrows the Japanese sound "paku," an onomatopoeia tied to carp, and the character is drawn as a nod to Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
