Character

"Lightning" Larry Luciano is a sea snail who first appears in the episode "The Great Snail Race."

Description

Larry Luciano is a very old snail who has white eyebrows and a white mustache. He is dark mauve in color with an olive green shell. His underside is a similar shade of green. He can barely keep his eyelids open, most likely due to his age, but a dark orange eye color is discernible.

History

Larry Luciano was the first champion of Bikini Bottom's first annual snail race. Many describe him as a "Living Legend" and every year since he won the race he has ignited the flame that commences the race. He is very old and feeble. At the 102nd running of the snail, he creeps extremely slowly for two hours just trying to reach and light the flame, which makes the Mayor of Bikini Bottom later light it for him.

Trivia

  • His name may be a reference to "Lucky" Luciano, a famous mafia crime boss.
  • His name may also be a reference to Rocky Marciano, a professional boxer.
  • He reappears in Bikini Bottom Chess as the knight of Mermaid Man's team.
