Gary the Snail

Gary the Snail (voiced by Tom Kenny) is a fictional character in the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. He is the titular protagonist's pet sea snail who lives with him in their pineapple home and vocalizes like a cat. Other snails and SpongeBob can understand and talk to him. Depicted as a level-headed character, Gary often serves as a voice of reason and a foil to SpongeBob and solves problems which his owner cannot. He has a pink shell that is impossibly spacious on the inside.
