Pascal

"Maaan, breathing air feels pretty good."

- Pascal

Pascal is a special character that appears first in and later in. He is a red sea otter, with a yellow nose and wide black eyes; he wears a beige beanie hat and dungarees, and has an unknown shell around his neck, probably a scallop. His name is a reference to a French philosopher, Blaise Pascal; it may also be a reference to the measurement Pascal, also named after the philosopher, which is used to measure pressure underwater. He appears in the Player's town once a week from 6 to 12 AM and is easily noticed by the villagers. Pascal's Japanese name is Rakosuke.

Pascal is known for his philosophical tendencies, making him well known amongst the villagers in the Player's town. Most of his philosophy is marine-themed.

- Pascal In Wild World, he appears during random weekdays by the river mouth from 6 to 12 AM, where the player can listen to one of his diffuse and sometimes random thoughts.
