Recap / Octonauts S 3 E 3 Octonauts And The Cone Snail

Trust us, Barnacles is far from the cone snail's only victim.

A cone snail somehow boards the Octopod, and Peso is the only one who can free it and save his crew.

Tropes:

• Artistic License – Biology: In real life, just a few microliters of cone snail venom is strong enough to kill ten humans. Imagine what a whole harpoon would do to a house cat, dachshund, sea otter, and bunny.
• Bait-and-Switch: When the cone snail shoots its harpoon at Peso, it looks like he got stung. Turns out he wasn't stung, and the harpoon got the manual instead.
• Dwindling Party: Non-death example (obviously), but one by one^Order Kwazii, Inkling, Dashi, Shellington, Tweak, Barnacles, all of the Octonauts but Peso get stung by the cone snail and are put out of commission until the end of the episode.
• Involuntary Smile of Incapacitation: After the titular cone snail harpoons Kwazii in the hand with a toxic stinger, Kwazii starts smiling and chuckling.
