— King Pistachion, Missing Milo |
King Pistachion was the very first Pistachion after the Sentient Blob went into the Pistachio tree and acted as their leader as they fought for complete world domination. He appeared as the main antagonist of the Pistachions Arc, serving as the main antagonist of "Missing Milo" and as the posthumous overarching antagonist of both "Fungus Among Us" and "The Phineas and Ferb Effect".
He is voiced by Rhys Darby.
Personality[]
King Pistachion succeeded in world domination and appears to have taken an easy victory over the humans, showing no remorse for their freedom, lives, nor their culture. In spite of this, he is shown to be reasonably polite and has a strong love for the other Pistachions, who tend to refer to him as their father.
Physical Appearance[]
King Pistachion, like the other Pistachions, resembles a huge, humanoid pistachio plant. Unlike the others, however, his chest sports a glowing yellow leaf and his head has foliage covered branches on top. He's considerably bigger and more slender than the others, with much broader shoulders.
History[]
He originally gains sentience in "The Substitute", where events lead to a chunk of the sentient blob landing on a broken pistachio plant after a failed mission by Cavendish and Dakota. The plant revives and eventually grows into king Pistachion, who goes on to take over the world.
In "Missing Milo" he celebrates his victory over the humans in 2175. It's short-lived, however, as Milo, Cavendish, and Dakota succeed in saving the world, leading him and a group of his Pistachions back to Milo's time and into a battle. He is eventually destroyed by Diogee, who pees on the original plant and destroys it, thus removing him from the timeline and healing all the damage he'd caused.
In "The Phineas and Ferb Effect", Derek mentions his father while talking about his past. King Pistachion had taught him that, should he ever be separated from the others, he should 'find an adult, impersonate them, and take over the world'.
Relationships[]
The Pistachions[]
He loves the rest of Pistachions and considers most, if not all of them, his children. He seems to know each of them by name and keeps pictures of memorable events on his phone.
Milo Murphy[]
King Pistachion considers Milo his arch enemy and goes through great lengths to chase him through time and put a stop to his plans for saving the world. Eventually, he full out threatens Milo by putting the lives of his closest friends at stake, and when the battle is over, speaks to him directly, claiming that Milo hadn't seen the last of him.
