Gunter

"It was just time to come out again. Glob K'Oing himself, the arrival of the catalyst comet and a ship to carry me out of this world's gravity. These were just the doors The Universe opened up to me. It's all yours if you're willing to take it. Destroy Worlds, crush anyone blocking the door, feel their bones crumble and their goo spilling out. You can't stop me, I'm Orgalorg."

Orgalorg, more commonly known as Gunter and feared as The Breaker of Worlds, is a primordial space demon who once desired to absorb the catalyst comet. But Orgalorg ended up being defeated by Grob Gob Glob Grod and exiled to early Earth. The planet's gravity condensed Orgalorg into his former powerless and amnesiac penguine-like form as he wandered the planet for ages before he was found by the Ice King. The Ice King has since used Orgalorg as his personal servant, whereas the other penguins working for the Ice King are essentially slaves.

In "Come Along With Me", Orgalorg used the wish-granting abilities of the Ice King's crown to "become" Ice King, taking on a form similar to his.

Due to the possibility of there being mutiple "Gunters" in the eyes of the Ice King and the other characters of the show, this page is meant to detail the being known as Orgalorg and only uses material that applies to this specific being.

Ancient Times
The powerful space deity named Orgalorg was banished by Grob Gob Glob Grod to Earth thousands of years ago for trying to intercept a "catalyst comet" and take its power. Being banished, Orgalorg fell to Earth and was crushed by the Earth's gravity, thus creating the appearance of a penguin. Orgalorg walked the Earth for centuries and eventually stumbled upon the Ice King.

Present Day
Regardless of the memory loss, Orgalorg/Gunter accidentally regains his memories and orchestrates a series of events to use the dethroned Bubblegum's spaceship to assume his true form and absorb a catalyst comet. However, in the end, he is defeated by Finn, and he regressed back to his weakened state.

Gum War
During the aftermath of the Gum War, the Ice King is reverted back to Simon and Betty loses her wizard powers after being "digested" by GOLB. With the Ice King's crown reverted to its essential wish-state, Betty, unable to simply wish GOLB away, wished to protect Simon, and became merged with GOLB and left, leaving the crown behind. Orgalorg/Gunter proceeded to wear it and was then transformed into a being similar to Ice King, with the crown morphed into his new form.

At some point after this, Orgalorg/Gunter ends up marrying Turtle Princess.

1000 Years Later
Orgalorg/Gunter has degenerated into a more savage form.

Physical Appearance
After the accident in the episode "Orgalorg", Orgalorg/Gunter's head is cut apart and his/her green "brains" sticks out. In the episodes "Hot Diggity Doom" and "The Comet" his/her brain became a mind of its own with torso and arms, disguising itself as Mr. X. When exiting Earth's atmosphere, Orgalorg expands to about the height of Grob Gob Glob Grod, with a white head with multiple eyes and a beak on top, and a yellow, scaled body that resembles a dress or robe of sorts. As seen in "The Comet," he/she can expand even further, to the point of resembling an umbrella or jellyfish, with a star shaped mouth on its underside and five eyes surrounding the mouth, bearing a close resemblance to the vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis). Orgalorg/Gunter looks like a regular penguin with big black eyes. He/she has a black back, black flipper-like wings, and a white flat belly. She/he also has a pointed yellow beak and yellow feet with three toes. When first becoming the Ice Thing, the Ice Crown is morphed into his head with the three jewels (although he/she inevitably loses one) above his long blue nose. He has a white beard/hair, like Ice King's completely covering his face. He wears a blue tunic similar to Ice King and has two lightning bolt-shaped ears and large bird feet, similar to Urgence Evergreen.

In the future, the Ice Thing's appears similar, but seems to be only a flying beard having no torso, arms or legs, with a nose, mouth, and two gems with one missing and a lot larger then previously.

Sex and gender
There are a number of penguins that Ice King refers to as Gunter, or a variant thereof. He pronounces it differently depending on the penguin's personality. This is shown in "Princess Monster Wife" when multiple penguins are addressed with some variant of Gunter (e.g. Gundy, Gunder, Gunthy, Goonter, Günder...). Because of this, it is difficult to ascertain the sex and gender of Orgalorg/Gunter, if there is a single Gunter.

Other characters typically refer to Gunter by masculine pronouns. For example, in "The Party's Over, Isla de Señorita," Ice King tells Gunter he is now the man of the house. However, in "The Chamber of Frozen Blades" Gunter lays an egg, which would likely mean it is female, although male penguins take care of their eggs. Also, in "Hoots," Orgalorg/Gunter manifests as a female bird in its dreams.

In "Orgalorg," the "Gunter' shown prominently is revealed to be a space deity named Orgalorg and thus may be genderless.

Personality
Orgalorg/Gunter has an evil nature seen in his attampt to conquer Ooo and, as Orgalorg, the entire solar system. Orgalorg claims to follow an "open door" philosophy in which he would take advantage of whatever opportunity presents itself to him, crushing anyone or anything who stands in his way (whether it be bottles or even planets).

As the Ice Thing he/she seems goofy and rather jumbled, yet happy and similar to the Ice King.

Relationships
{{Scroll|content = ===Ice King=== The Ice King sometimes gets upset at any "Gunter, but the Ice King seems to appreciate their company. Ice King told Gunter that he loves him/her in "Holly Jolly Secrets Part I." The Ice King often speaks to "Gunter" affectionately like a father.

In "Come Along With Me", Orgalorg/Gunter was apparently the penguin who puts on the Ice King's crown and transforms into a being that looks similar to the Ice King. According to Jake, this was because Gunter "wished to be Ice King".

Kitten
As one of the Gunter's child, Orgalorg/Gunter may have given this creature a lot of parental affection. Due to the fact this creature's parentage hasn' been explicilty stated to be Orgalorg/Gunter, their relationship is not really deatiled.

People of Its Homeworld
To the people of the world where Orgalorg came from, its belief was only known to those of the older generation and not those of present times. Those of the past feared and understood Orgalorg's true power and worshipped it like a god, while the younger ones claim he was only a myth made up to prevent them from making out.}}

Trivia

 * "Gunter" appears in the opening scene of every episode that plays during the Theme Song.
 * The inhabitants of Orgalorg's Homeworld werd all scrapped ideas for Orgalorg's design.
 * It is possible that Hunson Abadeer could tell that Gunter was more than just a penguin and that he was in fact a dark cosmic entity, as he says that the penguin is "by far, the most evil thing I've encountered" in "It Came from the Nightosphere".
 * In the episode "Holly Jolly Secrets Part II," BMO deciphers a complicated code in the Ice King's crying, which reveals an image of Gunter when printed.
 * Gunter (variations: Günther, Gunthar, Gunder, Gunnar) is a common Germanic name made of the roots "*gunþiz" ("fight," "battle," "war") and "*harjaz" ("crowd," "army," "folk"). The fact that the Ice King calls all his penguins some variant of Gunter, while partially some sort of effect of the crown, also reflects that the penguins are an army of sorts for him.
 * In a storyboard version of the episode "The Chamber of Frozen Blades," Gunter's offspring was going to be a hybrid Ice King/penguin creature. However, as Adam Muto explained, he originally drew a glowing kitten, but Thurop Van Orman (who was working on the show at the time) wanted it to be an Ice King/Penguin offspring, which they thought would be a "cool gross-out moment." However, the network rejected that idea, and it went back to being a kitten.
 * Marceline's journal has the name Gunter on it in the episode "Marceline's Closet."
 * Gunter, according to the Ice King, likes to smash bottles and eat socks.
 * Ice King has a picture of Gunter in his diary in "The Chamber of Frozen Blades."
 * In the game FusionFall, Gunter is a supporting character in the game along with Finn, Princess Bubblegum, Jake, and the Ice King. S/he also has an evil fusion counterpart called Fusion Gunter.
 * In "Reign of Gunters," Finn, Jake, and the Ice King continuously refer to Gunter as "Gunther," with an "h."
 * In "All the Little People," Little Gunter is seen following Finn's hand when he puts down Ice King's drums, even though Little People exist in another dimension and they cannot see Finn's. This implies Little Gunter can see Finn's dimension. However, it could be because it would have seen Ice King's drums floating in their dimension.
 * In "Simon & Marcy," when wearing the crown, Simon refers to Marceline as "Gunter."
 * In "Princess Potluck," Gunter is shown to own, or at least temporarily have possession of, a taser which he/she uses against both the Ice King and Finn.
 * Orgalorg might be (besides Hunson Abadeer and the Licj) the oldest character in the series, since he was said to have existed before time itself alongside the other monsters in Lich's speech.
 * Despite Orgalorg's size being by any means enormous, he is still smaller than the other monsters shown in "Gold Stars" in the Lich's speech.
 * Orgalorg penguin form might be a reference to the Albino Penguins from H.P. Lovecraft's story, At the Mountain of Madness. Orgalorg's original appearance might also be a reference to the 'Elder Things' that supposedly bred the penguins.
 * Jesse Moynihan revealed that Orgalorg was intended to be the villain for the abandoned television movie.
 * Orgalorg's motion is very similar to a vampire squid (Vampyrotheuthis infernalis).
 * In the episode "Temple of Mars," the second trial shows how the Ice Thing is changing all the numbers in the equation. The equation might represent Simon by Betty trying to fix the equation. The Ice Thing could represent the crown as it tries to make the equation (Simon) incorrect.
 * Ice Thing's name is also a pun on "Ice King."
 * The Ice Thing doesn't have the third gem of the crown; it is first shown in the episode "Skyhooks II" that it falls off, but later in "Come Along With Me", it is shown to be part of the ring of Turtle Princess, and a similar jewel is embedded in one of Gibbon's eyes around one thousand years in the future, as shown in Come Along With Me's intro sequence. It is likely to be the Ice Thing's missing jewel, as it is identical to it. It also happens to be in Gibbon's left eye, and the missing jewel is the crown's leftmost gem.
 * Gunter put on the crown and wished to become Ice King similar to how Gunther (Evergreen) used it and wished to become Urgence Evergreen.
 * Gunter is a playable character in Adventure Time Battle Party.
 * Gunter is seen in Legends of Ooo, holding a sign that reads "Princesses Only."
 * Gunter is seen with his/her Kitten as the boss in the game Break the Worm.
 * Gunter is a playable character in Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW!.
