"I HOPE THEY HAVE BATHROOMS IN HEAVEN" - Leek, The Pilot
For his TPOT counterpart, see Leek.
Leek is a male contestant in Animated Inanimate Battle. He's a member of Team 4.
Appearance[]
He is a green and white thin leek stalk.
Redesign[]
In Season 1B, Leek's gradient color shift got changed for a middle segment, with a transitional color. One of his stalks is also now separated.
Personality[]
Leek used to have bladder issues, which means he frequently had the urge to urinate in several occasions, until the episode Sun Blocked, when the bladder issue gag was retired.
Besides that, he is shown to be very touching as he was able to convince Oodle to stay with a very heartwarming speech. He also seems to support Nabla and Glue in terms of the Team 4 conflict.
Coverage[]
Animated Inanimate Battle[]
Pilot[]
When Leek first appears in his debut episode, he is behind a bush, presumably trying to urinate behind it, but is worried that Hailstone is looking at him and can’t go. A javelin thrown by Frisbee then lands surprising them and causes Leek to start peeing, but then Envelope pushes him out of the way to inform them about the town meeting.
Later on, once Oodle finally snaps from his comatose thanks to Antimatter, everyone forces Leek to go talk to him. He approaches and greets hum, but Oodle mistakes him for a non-sentient leek stalk and eats him. Eventually Oodle revives Leek alongside Hailstone, Brick, and Hanger (the later three were crushed to death by him out of self-defense).
Near the end of the episode, when Oodle is about to leave the Blank Slate, Leek comes up to him and delivers a heart-warming speech, telling him that if he stayed they could have been friends. Upon realizing that he didn't think of it before, Oodle chooses to stay and start the show.
An Ice Beginning[]
Leek had a very small role in this episode, and was randomly chosen onto Team 4 by Tivo. He gets a little spooked when Oodle drops the ice platforms into water. At one point while Tivo is fast-fowarding time, Leek fell off of his team's ice platform.
Smarter & Boulder[]
Leek had a very small role again, asking about the mountain Oodle mentioned. He shows him and Ketchup the mountain, causing his jaw to drop. His team placed 3rd in the challenge.
Get a Grip[]
Leek continued to have a very small role in this episode, making a reference to The Pilot when he felt that the feeling of having no limbs was familiar. He also said how Nabla being able to sleep-write didn't explain how she knew what the challenge was going to be. At some point, Leek was freed from the claw machine. Their team coincidentally placed 4th in the challenge.
Trivia[]
- He used to have bladder issues because his name is Leek, a play on the word "leak", which may signify he had leaking pee.
- He was the first character to die, due to being eaten by Oodle.
- Until his redesign for AIB 6+, he was the only character to have a gradient on his asset.
- He had the most lines in The Pilot, at 19.
- He is the tallest contestant.
- He is the 2nd thinnest character, with Toothpick being the thinnest.
- Leek and Toothpick are often paired together in scenes due to them both looking alike.
- Leek's personality has changed, as his weak-bladdered personality made a lot of people uncomfortable. This included zoomi, his voice actor. His pose in the intro also changed to reflect this.[1]
- He is multi-colored, along with Pill and Antimatter.
