![]() Darwin tapping into his musical talents in " The Triangle" causes Gumball to have short-lived jealousy towards him before he realizes he is wrong. When not tamed properly, his ego can drive him to do some pretty jerky things. Gumball also has a fairly massive ego, which seems to be a fault of his. As demonstrated in episodes such as " The Stories" and " The Test," these snarky comments are impulsive. He is quick to diffuse all sorts of quips towards others, ranging from fairly harmless to sometimes blunt and rude. On multiple occasions, he is quick to go into a sort of "over-protective" mode whenever anybody tries to hurt his siblings, Darwin and Anais, as seen in " The Parasite," in which he tried to nearly poison Jodie when he thought she was hurting Anais, or in " The Rerun," in which he aimlessly tried to attack Rob out of rage when Darwin died. In general, Gumball is very protective of his loved ones. He's also happy to help others, as seen in " The Void," " The Upgrade," and " The Slide," in which in all three he went great lengths to assist Molly, Bobert, and Rocky, respectively. In " The Others," he is quick to reject Clare's notion of "no happy ending," only wanting to see her have a happy ending (no matter how forced it was). When his family is financially suffering in "The Money," he reminds them of the joys of family and pushes them to be more optimistic. Despite his cynicism towards society itself, as seen in episodes such as " The Bumpkin" and " The Money," he is still fairly positive in what to expect out of people ( though there are exceptions). Such a side may also suggest Gumball is smarter than he lets on, as hinted by his expansive vocabulary, cooking skills, and ukulele skills as well. This side of him can be seen in episodes such as " The Plan," in which he quickly formulates a basic outline to he and his siblings plan to "save" their mother, and in " The Scam," in which he forms a crafty scheme that will allow him to cleanly heist the town's candy effortlessly. Despite his mediocre academic performance, he can be surprisingly brilliant when it comes to formulating all sorts of mischievous schemes. In season 3, Gumball's eyes are permanently round along with the rest of the Wattersons'. The corner of his snout can sometimes be seen bending down at a sharp angle. His canine teeth are rounder and no longer present when his mouth is closed. His head and his whiskers are bigger, while his eyes are rounder. In season 2, his design changes slightly. ![]() The inside of his mouth is pink, his tongue is light pink, and his nose is orange. Like his mother, father, and sister, Gumball lacks shoes, and he is the only member of the Wattersons without visible eyelashes, although, in some episodes, he is seen with visible eyelashes, like in " The Refund" and " The Boss." One of his sharp canine teeth can also be seen hanging out of the corner of his mouth. He usually wears grey trousers, coupled with a tan sweater, which has brown cuffs and a brown collar. On his oversized head, he has six whiskers, but only five are visible most of the time. In the actual show, Gumball is a light blue cat. The decision was finally reached to have him blue, a decision that the show creator Ben Bocquelet liked, because he thought blue was not a color usually found on cats, and it had a "70's-80's Japanese mascot" sort of feel. In addition, a silhouette cat would be "hard to read" on the backgrounds planned for the show. The creators found this trait to be too restricting in terms of possible plots and stories. As the creators developed the character further, they decided to make him a black cat, as it fit the personality they had in mind for him: unlucky, but optimistic ( black cats symbolize bad luck in European culture). Not much thought was put into this choice as it was more of a placeholder than a final design. Originally, Gumball was meant to be a blue dog.
