Bob is a mischievous animated doodle created by The Second Coming. Despite his harmless appearance, Bob is a constant source of chaos, particularly for Green, whom he takes great joy in tormenting. Since his creation, Bob has become a recurring nuisance, even surviving years of entrapment beneath Alan’s taskbar.

Appearance

Bob is a simple, cartoonish stick figure drawing, noticeably more expressive and exaggerated in form compared to the Fighting Stick Figures. His design is crude, drawn to appear hand-sketched with a distinct mischievous smile. In Bob from the Shadows, Bob appears mutated and monstrous in Green’s nightmare, featuring elongated limbs and white tentacles.

Personality

Bob is extremely cunning, chaotic, and opportunistic. He thrives on causing trouble—especially for Green—and often feigns innocence to avoid punishment from The Second Coming. While he focuses his torment primarily on Green, Bob shows no true allegiance, even turning against his own creator when Green is absent.

His mischief ranges from harmless pranks to aggressive attacks, and he seems to delight in psychological torment as much as physical. Despite his antics, there's an occasional unpredictability to him, sometimes stopping short of full destruction, which adds to his chaotic neutrality.

• Shapeshifting: Bob can morph his limbs into various shapes, allowing for creative attacks or pranks.
