Lurking side characters

Lurking side characters are a group of background characters in SpongeBob

Each lurking side character has its own physical appearance due to being filler characters who are far in the distance they don’t do anything much there so distant that u can’t even see there pupils in fact they look like herobrine

However these characters are special because they server a completely different purpose then the other background characters they aren’t really meant to speak and are seen in the either the distance lines or crowds but also generic background characters in the distance

A fun fact before we end this: Even tho they look like herobrine in episodes such as Valentine’s Day, the good krabby name, Sandy’s nutmare and snail mail they can be closer (not in foreground close) but they have drawn pupils
Patrick: *sees some fish* who r they
SpongeBob: shhh we don’t talk to them there lurking side characters

Patrick: hello there lurking side character
Lurking side character: huh
SpongeBob: PATRICK WHY NOW THERE NOT FILLER AHHHHHHHHHHH U RUINED THE SHOW AND GUESS WHAT
Patrick: what
SpongeBob: IT WAS LIVE
Patrick: oh
*every single character in SpongeBob (even dead characters) and the people watching SpongeBob jump patrick*
