Zoidberg [b]Age:[/b] 87+ [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Canon:[/b] Futurama [b]Personality:[/b] Desperate for acceptance, Zoidberg lives with a continuing delusion that he is well regarded by the rest of society. He does appear to be rather intelligent, but he is an inept medical practitioner. Most of his co-workers and those who he meets look down on him. Dr. Zoidberg is Professor Farnsworth's oldest friend, which suggests that Zoidberg is much older than he appears. A citizen of Earth, he loves his chosen home planet for the personal freedom it provides. He is also apparently the only intelligent organism on Earth deemed nice by the Robot Santa Claus. It is unknown why, but it may be because of a glitch in Santa or because of Zoidberg's kind and innocent personality. Other than the professor, the only people known to identify him as a friend are the members of the First Planet Express crew, Fry (sometimes), Mom and his girlfriend. [b]Short Bio:[/b] Dr. John A. Zoidberg is a Decapodian employed as staff doctor at Planet Express and an honorary Globetrotter. He is only tolerated at Planet Express because of his ability to cut things. An extremely poor man and a doctor of art history, he is still lovable to many and hated by others. He is also noted as the only alien member of the Planet Express crew. [b]Abilities:[/b] As a Decapodian, Zoidberg appears to be a crab-like humanoid alien. His skin is comprised of a flexible exoskeleton that is very hard and immune to knives and swords. He has claws instead of hands that can cut through flesh, bone, and even some forms of metal. On his head, he has a extendable fin that goes up when he is in times of emotional duress, aroused or enraged, as well as before a traumatic event. As a last minute defense mechanism, he can shoot out ink from his armpits. Apparently he's delicious with butter and lemons. With a degree in art history, he makes for a terrible medical doctor. While he knows very little about caring for humans, he is an expert on alien physiology. Zoidberg seems to specialize in limb attachment and reattachment, and has had years of experience in it. Despite his terrible qualifications, he does seem to be qualified as a doctor in some way, although it's never been explained. [b]Equipment:[/b] - Rusty medical saw (for safe and reliable limb removal) - Stethoscope (to observe the sounds of the heart digesting food matter) - Various other medical tools (Now, stay still while I stick this needle in your arm. Where is the human arm located again?) - A bag to carry said medical tools [b]Other:[/b] (★^O^★)
