This article is about the penguin. You may be looking for the dinosaur.

Gunter is the penguin that most commonly accompanies the Ice King. The Ice King uses Gunter as his personal servant, whereas the other penguins working for the Ice King are essentially slaves.[3] In truth, Gunter is the primordial cosmic entity known as Orgalorg and feared as the Breaker of Worlds.

In "Come Along With Me," Gunter used the wish-granting abilities of the Ice King's crown to become the Ice Thing, taking on a form resembling Urgence Evergreen. He then married Turtle Princess and later became the future ruler of the Ice Kingdom, later known as the Ice Thingdom.

Background

Banishment to Earth

The powerful space deity named Orgalorg was banished by Grob Gob Glob Grod to Earth thousands of years ago for trying to absorb the power of a catalyst comet and rule the solar system. Orgalorg ended up being defeated by Grob Gob Glob Grod and was exiled to Earth. The planet's gravity condensed Orgalorg into a powerless and amnesiac penguin-like form, and they wandered the Earth for centuries, eventually stumbling upon the Ice King.[4]

As the Ice King's companion

In "What is Life?," one of Gunter's known duties is being a stand for the Ice King's video game machine. Gunter also tries to warn the Ice King that Finn and Neptr are in the room.

Gunter is mentioned in "What Have You Done?" when Ice King says, "Gunter, dispose of Finn's carcass."

Gunter appears again in "It Came from the Nightosphere," where their soul is almost stolen and is dubbed "by far, the most evil thing I've encountered" by Hunson Abadeer, and thrown at the Ice King. The Ice King's response is "Gunter, who told you you could fly?"

Gunter appears in "The Chamber of Frozen Blades" and is very sick, but it later turns out that they "was preggers." A floating pink kitten hatches from the egg.

Gunter re-appears in the episode "Still," trying to mess with the potions Ice King brought to freeze Finn and Jake. Ice King says that Gunter likes to break bottles, which Gunter eventually does. They are shown to be a troublemaker in this episode.

Gunter appears multiple times in "Holly Jolly Secrets Part I" and "Holly Jolly Secrets Part II." Notably, during their "Penguin Dance Party" video, Ice King calls two different penguins "Gunter" in the same scene. It is unknown whether this was intentional by the show's staff.

In "Five Short Graybles," Ice King makes Gunter float out to sea on an iceberg because he believes that Gunter is making his castle smell bad. It is also shown that Gunter can play the keyboard, though not very well.

In "Princess Monster Wife," it is revealed that the other penguins are named a variant of "Gunter," and only one penguin is addressed as Gunter.

In "Reign of Gunters," Gunter proves they are the most (potentially) evil entity in Ooo, excluding the Lich, by using Ice King's demonic wishing eye to conquer Ooo and destroy all of its glass objects. At one point, the army of Gunters ran out of bottles to break, so Princess Bubblegum suggested reconstructing the bottles to perpetually keep Gunter occupied. Gunter got impatient, however, and attempted to shatter one of the Gumball Guardians' heads (seeing as it is essentially a giant bottle), showing that Gunter is so obsessed with shattering glass that they do not particularly care whether they are sentient or not. Gunter is only stopped when the Ice King returns from his outing, scolding them for taking his wishing eye and telling them to go back to the castle.

In "Jake the Dog," Ice King accuses Gunter of taking his crown jewels.

In "I Remember You" Gunter is being held and sung to by Ice King, who is wearing a Marceline wig. Ice King sings a cover of "Fry Song," replacing many of the words with "Gunt," and Gunter starts chewing on the wig.

In "Five More Short Graybles," Gunter is among the penguins who want to lick Ice King's salty tears, but Ice King pushes them away, telling them that they're on a "low-salt diet."

In "All the Little People," there is a Little Gunter among the Little People. Strangely, they seem to notice Finn's hand when Finn gives Ice King his drum set.

In "Princess Potluck," Gunter helps Ice King by baking lasagna to feed the rabbits to ruin Princess Bubblegum's potluck. Afterward, Ice King dresses Gunter as a princess (using old socks and a bottle cap) and tells him/her to go to the party and throw fruit punch at everybody. However, everyone at the party recognizes Gunter and starts cheering them, who starts to party along.

In "The Party's Over, Isla de Señorita," Gunter is sleeping on the ice couch with a game console. Before Ice King leaves, he tells Gunter that they are now the "man of the house," and kisses him on the forehead.

In "Earth & Water," Gunter is given the Ice King's crown to remake the Ice Kingdom. Gunter uses it to make an ice arch and later a race of Strangling Snow Snakes.

In "Play Date," Gunter is mentioned, and it is revealed that they regularly only say "Wenk!"

In "Betty," Gunter is allowed to wear the crown again just like in "Earth & Water" and has been given some control in the Ice Kingdom for a short time as Ice King (known at that time as "Simon" due to being reverted to human in the episode) is building a generator.

In the episode "Orgalorg," Gunter suffers a head injury and is lead by their nature as Orgalorg. In the end, Ice King tries, poorly, to tend to Gunter's head wound.

Despite Ice King fixing their head, Gunter's brain came out even more in "Hot Diggity Doom/The Comet." Gunter can now change into their true form Orgalorg. Orgalorg acted as the main antagonist in this two-parter. Oraglorg tried to fight the Catalyst Comet but was brought back to Earth as a penguin and appeared to be harmless, losing all memory of his previous form.

In "King's Ransom," Gunter is kidnapped by Betty Grof and Ice King needs help from Finn and Jake to get them back.

In "Happy Warrior" Gunter joins Finn and LSP on their mission in the Fire Kingdom to acquire the jewel of Flame Princess, but ends up succumbing to the elemental fire magic and turns into a violent flame person.

During the aftermath of the Gum War, the Ice King is reverted to Simon and Betty loses her wizard powers after being "digested" by GOLB. With the Ice King's crown reverted to its essential wish-state, Betty, unable to simply wish GOLB away, wished to protect Simon, and became merged with GOLB and left, leaving the crown behind. Gunter proceeded to wear it and was then transformed into a being similar to Ice King, with the crown morphed into his new form.

At some point after this, Gunter ends up marrying Turtle Princess.

1000+ years later

Gunter has degenerated into a more savage form.
