Character description

Squiddly is a squid with purple skin, eyebrows, a large bulbous head, and six tentacles that act as both his legs and arms. Although his name suggests that he is a squid, he oddly resembles more of an octopus than an actual squid. Squiddly wears a red short-sleeved shirt with a black scarf and a white sailor hat.

in Jellystone!, Squiddly has very light magenta skin, long hot pink hair, dark red lipstick and eyelashes. She also wears a large white hat, a purple dress with a grape purple scarf and long boots. This iteration of Squiddly has a valley girl-type personality, and speaks in a Valleyspeak accent.

Biography

Dexter's Lab Cameo

In the episode "Chubby Cheese," Squiddly appears as a animatronic robot as a part of Chubby's band, playing the piano.

• 

  ROBOT OH MY GOSH- I mean, Chubby's animatronic band ft Squiddly Diddly.

Harvey Birdman

In the episode "SPF," his picture is on a glass of soda that Ding-A-Ling is drinking at the beginning of the episode. In "Gone Efficien...t," he's called to the stand due to his name being a "metaphor for copulation". In "The Death of Harvey," he and Magilla Gorilla fight over an old lady's purse before Squiddly gets hit in the head by Huckleberry Hound with a plank.

Wacky Reboot

In the episode "What a Wacky Development This Is," Squiddly appears on the TV in the reality show Worst Prom Date Ever.

SCOOB!

Squiddly Diddly made two cameos as part of a mural on the side of a building and on a billboard for Bubbleland.

Everyone's Back in Jellystone!

Squiddly, now a girl, is a recurring character in the series. She's a slightly airheaded valley girl who owns the local music shop. Sometimes she can be absentminded, like asking if anyone is a doctor in a hospital, but she is quite musically-inclined. Squiddly is also a social media influencer and fashion trendsetter. She likes to hang out with Snagglepuss, Captain Caveman, Bobbie Looey, Doggie Daddy, and Wally Gator.

Development

In the concept art phase of Jellystone!, Squiddly was male, but Melody Iza, herself a transgender artist, suggested for Squiddly to be turned into a transgender female character during production. Iza suggested the same change to Baba Looey and Loopy De Loop.
