In the alleyway behind the quaint little burger shop live three trash raccoons. They might seem like a random group of animals, but for Linda Belcher of Bob's Burgers, these three raccoons have a life of their own. While they appeared on screen for only one episode each, their life continues to be an important part of Linda's life, as well as the lives of Teddy and Gretchen, who are also invested in the soap opera drama that is the Trash Raccoons.
Little King Trashmouth
The monarch of the trio and possibly the entire raccoon kingdom, Little King Trashmouth is the first of the raccoons to ever be mentioned. He is first brought up by Linda in Season 3, Episode 17, "Two For Tina," when she casually mentions that there wasn't a raccoon king until she chose her favorite one. This is also where it is revealed that Little King Trashmouth is a happily married raccoon with his husband, Gary.
Later on in Season 4, Episode 9, "Slumber Party," the King makes his first on screen appearance. While in the alley, Linda witnesses the King being attacked by another member of the Trash Raccoons, El Diablo. Linda brings the King into the apartment to care for him. After Linda, Bob and Teddy capture El Diablo, the King is set back into his "kingdom" to continue ruling for another day.
While this is his only on-screen appearance, it is later revealed that Little King Trashmouth and Gary renewed their vows on their wedding anniversary. Little King Trashmouth can be identified by the two black rings on his tale and the Zorro like mask on his face.
El Diablo
As mentioned earlier, El Diablo is Little King Trashmouth's enemy for unknown reasons. He makes his first and only appearance in "Slumber Party." Very little is known about El Diablo, except for his rivalry with the King. After Linda, Bob and Teddy capture him using a trap with a burger as bait, he is never seen or heard from again. His identifiable features are eerily similar to the King's, as he also has two rings and a Zorro mask; however, El Diablo is much more scruffy compared to his monarch.
Big Baby Pudding Snatcher
Finally, there is Big Baby Pudding Snatcher, who got her name because she kept taking Linda's pudding whenever she would eat it in the alley. She appears in Season 7, Episode 16, "Eggs for Days," after an Easter egg hunt at the Belcher's goes rotten when one egg falls into the crawl space.
When Bob tries to retrieve the rotting egg, he finds a raccoon in the walls. After being asked to describe the raccoon, Bob mentions three rings on the tail and a notch on its ear. This confirms the identity for Linda and brings her comfort, as she believed Big Baby Pudding Snatcher had gone missing. She is overjoyed by the fact that BBPS now has three children of her own, thus expanding the community of Trash Raccoons.
Linda has always been a creative person, and her strange but adorable attachment to the raccoons is a comforting slice of life look at the ever-expanding world of Bob's Burgers. There is hope that the raccoons will make their on screen return so audiences can know more about the secret world that exists behind the restaurant.
Created by Loren Bouchard, Bob's Burgers stars H. Jon Benjamin, John Roberts, Dan Mintz, Eugene Mirman and Kristen Schaal. The series airs Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
