Kitten

Kitten is Gunter's offspring, first seen in "The Chamber of Frozen Blades" in the Ice Kingdom. It appears to be magical in some way, as when it hatches it is glowing and floating and it also has a heart symbol on its forehead. The kitten's father is unknown. Doctor Princess said that the birth was "horrifyingly beautiful." In "Princess Monster Wife," Kitten makes a brief appearance as Ice King starts singing to his wife. It is also seen at the end of the song before Ice King reveals his sculpture. In "Reign of Gunters," it plays a major role in assisting the penguins by using its laser vision.

Appearance
It is a kitten that is completely purple (pink when glowing and in "Princess Monster Wife"), except for a red heart on its forehead. It has large blue eyes with black pupils. It has pointed ears and a thin tail.

Trivia

 * The character is referred to as "Gunther's love child" in the character design documents.
 * In one version of the episode's storyboard, 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.
 * According to Patrick McHale, the kitten appeared in "Princess Monster Wife" because Adam Muto liked the sound of McHale's cat, Arthur, singing along to the demo track for the Ice King's song, and he added the kitten to the episode's storyboards.
 * It has been shown to sleep under Ice King's chair, as seen in "Reign of Gunters."
 * Since it came from an egg, it is oviparous.
