Template:BG/General

Earl Bighead is a very large, mean-looking, purple bulldog. He has yellow eyes, red hair and large lower teeth that protrude from his mouth and wears a spiked dog collar. He was initially homeless, and is occasionally locked up at Dr. HP Marten's Institute for Questionable Experiments, due to his viciousness. His "fairy dogmother" frees him from Dr. Marten's lab.

Description

Earl enjoys harassing Spunky, mauling Rocko, Ed Bighead, Dan the Fly Man, and basically anything else that is alive. Bev found him digging up her flower garden. After yelling at him for the first time in his life Earl was sorry for misbehaving. As soon as they befriended each other he was adopted by Bev Bighead. Ed hates him and Earl hates Ed but is loving towards Bev as she loves him and takes care of him. Deep down Earl is lonely. All Earl really wants is a loving family and a permanent home. His vocal effects are provided by Tom Kenny. He belongs to Bev, Ed, and Rachel as of Frog's Best Friend.

As well as appearing in several episodes, Earl appears in the series' theme song chasing Rocko and Spunky with Heffer following close behind and is crushed at the end by a television.

Looks
