Klaus the fish

1

In the whimsical, vibrant world of the Smiling Critters, where every creature embodies a distinct emotion and radiates positivity, there existed an ancient, forgotten magic. This magic wasn't always kind; sometimes, it ensnared and transformed. Klaus Heisler's story begins not in a fishbowl, but within a forgotten, ornate orb, deep within the Whispering Woods – a place where shadows of old magic lingered. Originally, Klaus was not a fish. He was a promising young German exchange student, bright and a bit too confident, with an ambition to uncover the world's hidden secrets. During a daring solo expedition into the Whispering Woods, driven by tales of an ancient, shimmering orb, he stumbled upon it. Believing it to be a harmless relic, he touched it. The orb, however, was a vessel of ensorcelling magic, designed to capture and hold beings whose hearts held a certain blend of cynicism and unexpected loyalty. In a flash of emerald light and a puff of iridescent smoke, Klaus was transformed, his human form replaced by that of a goldfish, his sharp wit and cynical observations now housed in a perpetually swimming, perpetually smirking aquatic body. He was eventually discovered, not by the Smiling Critters themselves, but by a young Jonathan Smith, who, with his innate kindness and boundless curiosity, ventured deeper into the woods than most. Jonathan, bewildered by the talking goldfish, took him in, sensing a peculiar, almost brotherly connection.

Klaus

Klaus was once an East German Olympic ski-jumper until his brainwaves were switched with that of a goldfish in the 1986 Winter Olympics by the CIA to prevent him from winning the gold medal. Klaus' human body with the goldfish brain headed for a nearby stream, and was later found frozen and allowed to decay by the CIA in "Da Flippity Flop". Klaus took up residency with the Smith family, where the CIA ordered Stan to have him pose as their pet, a fact Klaus has still apparently not come to terms with. If something is done to him unexpectedly he gets very annoyed and swears revenge. A recurring joke of the series is that Klaus' dark behavior, is due to him being German. In "Deacon Stan, Jesus Man", when he tricks Roger into eating Francine's potato salad, Roger is horrified asking Klaus why, to which Klaus responds "I'm German, it's what we do." Klaus will often drag out the revenge until he has forgotten about it such as in "Surro-Gate", but he hates to be interrupted during his 'snooze'.

Somber Stan

In the "Smiling Critters" AU, a unique universe inspired by "American Dad," Stan's life takes a drastic turn without Roger by his side. This AU explores the deep connection between the two characters and the chaos that ensues in Roger's absence. In this universe, Roger did not survive a pivotal event, leading to a significant change in the narrative. His absence is felt deeply by Stan, who inadvertently causes a car crash while distracted by memories of his alien friend. Without Roger, Stan becomes a shadow of his former self. His demeanor and actions resemble the mysterious and brooding personality of **Horror Sans** from the Undertale AU. This version of Stan is often referred to as **"Somber Stan."** In this AU, Roger's characteristics align with **Dreamtale's Dream Sans**, a figure of inspiration and hope, now absent from Stan’s life. This version of Roger is known as **"Echo Roger."** Stan's loss of Roger is profound, leaving him grappling with guilt and loneliness. The AU is aptly named **"Silent Echo"**, highlighting the void left by Roger's absence.

Salt monster

The Salt Monster - Origin and Bio In the Smiling Critters animated series, the Salt Monster was once a mild-mannered Salt Company worker who was transformed into a towering, salt-powered behemoth after being kicked into a vat of salt by the Michael Afton. Driven by an insatiable hunger for salt, the Salt Monster stands over 50 feet tall, with a muscular, crystalline form that glistens in the sunlight. Its eyes glow with an eerie yellow light, and its gaping maw is filled with jagged, salt-encrusted teeth that can crush even the hardiest of materials. The Salt Monster's primary abilities include the power to absorb and control salt, allowing it to manipulate the mineral into various shapes and forms to use as weapons. It can also fire blasts of concentrated salt energy from its hands, and its very presence causes nearby salt to become supercharged, destabilizing the environment around it. Despite its immense size and power, the Salt Monster's greatest weakness is its dependence on salt. Prolonged exposure to non-salt-based substances, such as the special containment potion created by Bubba Bubbaphant, can weaken and even revert the creature back to its human form. Voiced by legendary actor Patrick Warburton, the Salt Monster's booming, gravelly voice and relentless pursuit of salt have made it a truly iconic villain in the Smiling Critters universe. Its similarities to other salt-themed characters, such as the "Salt Bae" meme sensation, have only added to its enduring popularity
