Gary Wilson Jr.

Garold "Gary" Wilson Jr. is a sea snail who is the pet of SpongeBob SquarePants. He is Patrick Star's first cousin. He resides in a pineapple house on 124 Conch Street, Bikini Bottom, Pacific Ocean with his owner SpongeBob. He is voiced by Tom Kenny and first appears in the episode "Help Wanted."

He is a domesticated house pet with similar mannerisms to a cat, most notably his "meow," sound, but he has royal blood, as seen in the episode "Rule of Dumb." In the said episode, the royal family tree proves that Gary and Patrick are in fact cousins, as their fathers were brothers. His mannerism and affinity for the finer things in life in previous episodes foreshadow his royal blood, with the only exception being his dislike for baths.

It is suggested that SpongeBob has had Gary ever since he lived with his parents as a really young boy. The episode "Treats!" reveals that Gary was adopted by SpongeBob.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, he sided with SpongeBob that he had survive in World War III
