Why does Bob Rainicorn choose to use the universal translator device? toggle section
In the Adventure Time series, Bob Rainicorn employs the universal translator device to bridge the language gap with those who don't comprehend his native language. This device, introduced in the 'My Two Favorite People' episode, converts his speech into understandable language. Unlike Lady Rainicorn's earlier translator, Bob's device yields a more normal-sounding voice. Unspecified reasons lead Bob and Ethel Rainicorn to wear these translators constantly, even in the Crystal Dimension where they are not required.

Appearance[]

He has a short body, is horizontally-striped with rainbow colors, almost bald, and wears glasses due to poor vision. He is extremely short by Rainicorn standards, being several feet shorter than average. The fact that Ethel is long and Bob is short may be the reason that Lady has a medium length. Also, he chooses to use the universal translator device, unlike his daughter, which means he speaks Korean like his daughter and wife, though for unknown reasons, he and Ethel wear the translators at all times, even when in their home dimension. Unlike Lady and his wife, his head is blue instead of pale pink, which appears to be standard for male Rainicorns. Unlike his daughter, he and his wife both have eyes that are two dots and not the big, cartoon eyes that belong to most characters.
