Animal Species

Den Den Mushi
These are the odd "phone snails" that are used throughout the series. They come in a variety of colors and shapes and have multiple functions. The snails act as a number of devices including: rotary phones, fax machines (Which in the 4Kids version is implied to be their rear end as Nezumi says "I'll send you a picture ,sorry (Talking to his snail), turn around"), and cellular wrist watch devices. It's unknown how the Den Den Mushi are able to communicate with one another over such great distances. When they are used, the snails speak in sync with the caller's voice, as well as sometimes imitating the facial expressions of the caller. When not in use, the Den Den Mushi are usually inert, either sleeping or in a dazed state. Other types of Den Den Mushi include:


 * Kuro Den Den Mushi


 * Baby Den Den Mushi


 * Golden Den Den Mushi


 * Silver Den Den Mushi

Sea King
Sea Kings are mythical sea creatures in the anime and manga One Piece, which are generally much larger than normal sea creatures. They are found in great numbers along the Calm Belt around the Grand Line, although in rare occasions they can be found in other places throughout the world.

Sea Kings make trade and travel difficult for anyone trying to cross the water where they are found. Cases have arisen where some islands in the Grand Line close to the edge of the Calm belt have ended up getting almost completely cut off from the rest of the world. In Water 7 and its surrounding islands, this led to the eventual creation of the Sea Train as a means to travel safely to and from each of its surrounding islands.

Sea Kings are serpent-like in appearance however they vary form one Sea King to another in exact appearance along with their size. Only the strongest of ships or captains can take on a Sea King. Most other creatures in the ocean fear the sea King and confrontation with one by all but a few humans is inadvisable. Many characters such as Franky see the act of killing one a sign of strength and achievement.

The Sea King that ate Shanks' arm is known as The Lord of the Coast.

Blue-Finned Elephant Tuna
(Titanic Tuna in the English dub): A fish that comes from the South Blue and has elephant-like features. It is known as 'the jewel of the sea' it is supposed to be a miracle ingredient for cooking. It is not found in the East Blue.

Island Whales
The largest whale species in the One Piece world. They come from the West Blue. They normally swim together with other Island Whales in pods (just like real life whales) but may adopt another family (e.g., Laboon adopted a pirate ship as his pod) and swim with them.

Dinosaurs
Several types of dinosaurs exist on Little Garden. Those revealed include: Apatosaurus (ate Luffy and was killed by Dorry). Tyrannosaurus Rex (bit Brogy and was killed by him, another killed by Sanji). Triceratops (killed by Zolo who guessed three sword style beats three horn style. Pteradactyl (Ms. Goldenweek uses her paint to allow Mr.5, Ms. Valentine and herself to escape). Sabretooth Tiger (Sanji rides one through the jungle after beating it up). Giant Tiger (A giant Tiger can be seen along the shore from the Going Merry).

Kestia
A type of tick that inhabits hot, humid jungles and carries bacteria in its bite. Once bitten an infection forms and after 5 days the infection begins to spread, causing the victim to experience intense pain. During this time, the victim’s temperature rises up to 40°c causing Myocarditis, Ateritis and Encephalitis. After the full 5 days of infection, the patient apparently dies. It takes 10 days after treatment to recover from the diease. While the Straw Hat Pirates were on Little Garden, Nami is bitten by a Kestia causing her to become sick. Kestia was supposed to have become extinct 100 years ago, but it survived on Little Garden because of its prehistoric setting. In the 4Kids dub the whole of Little Garden was removed, but oddly kept the part about the Kestia or "Stingy-Dingy Bug".

Giant Goldfish
Giant Goldfish is an enormous fish that haunts the sea around of Little Garden. It's known as "Island Eater" and its feces is so big that is known as "Nothing Island". This is another of Usopp's lies becoming true. This fish ate Going Merry, when Straw Hats were leaving Little Garden, but was killed by Dorry & Brogy, with their strongest attack, Hakoku, saving their friends' lifes.

White Walkie (Furry Hippo)
The white walkie is a species of fur-covered hippo found in the Drum Island area. This animal is well adapted to life in snowy mountains, in fact, it is overadapted. It is so comfortable in the snow that it does not even bother to stand up most of the time. Though they can move much faster with their legs fully extended, walkies can climb vertical surfaces with much greater ease with them withdrawn. Omnivorous, Wapol had a Walkie named Robson that he rode all over the Drum Kingdom. Wapol had more (Robson's brothers) but he killed them, presumably to make his royal cape/cloak that is made from Walkie fur. Robson was sent flying by Luffy and Sanji's Air Force Gum Shot attack by mistake during the battle for Drum Castle. Luffy hit Wapol sending him crashing into Robson and flying into the sky. It remains unknown what happened to him.
