Kenneth "Kenny" Cassidy is one of the two main protagonists (alongside Kat Cassidy) of Kenny the Shark. He is Kat's pet tiger shark and best friend.
Appearance
Kenny is a large male anthropomorphic tiger shark, though he lacks the striped pattern that gives this species its name and is a cyan color as opposed to the brownish-gray coloration of actual tiger sharks. His teeth are also much more similar to those of the white shark than the tiger shark, though they lack serrations. He walks on his caudal fin as if they were legs and is capable of surviving on land. He only has six gills with three on each side instead of the traditional ten gills with five on each side that most sharks in reality actually have. He lacks pelvic fins, a secondary dorsal fin, and an anal fin which are present in most real sharks.
Personality
Kenny is a comical, yet occasionally sarcastic shark with a happy-go-lucky attitude. He will lick Kat like a dog when she gets home from school or when he is happy to see her.
Kenny was tired of life in the ocean and so he went to live on the surface with humans. He can't control himself when he hears or sees a seal and can become aggressive and unpredictable when he does. Kenny lives in a house along with an 11-year-old girl named Kat (who is the only human who can talk to him) and her family (who can also talk to him, but rarely). He loves eating Chum and two other food items that he loves: Eel Pops and Seal Pops.
History
As seen in the intro, Kenny and Kat first met at a pet store. They became best friends instantly.
