Clam (Camp Lazlo)

Template:Camp Lazlo Clam is a small, quirky Albino Pygmy rhino who got his knowledge (as well as the items in his Jelly Bean cabin space) from cereal box tops. Though seemingly dumb, Clam is actually a musical and academic genius and is often misunderstood by others, including Lumpus. He almost became famous by being a genius, but blew it off to stay with his friends: Lazlo and Raj. Always a protective friend, Clam loves thrill-seeking and chowing down on cereal...especially the kinds with cool prizes in the boxes. He has a low voice and speaks in short "sentences" that almost never exceed three or four words at a time (as in " fair share" in:"Where's Clam"). His longest line in the show was probably "Not on the list whatever's up there." as said in "The Nothing Club." A running gag about Clam is that most characters can't figure out what sort of creature he really is (the same gag was used with Rocko from Rocko's Modern Life). He also makes great mustard, or in his words, "zing zing". However, he often just repeats the last word Lazlo or Raj says. His intelligence is demonstrated in "Beans In Toyland" when he made Lumpus' hairdryer into a remote-controlled airplane. He is interested in being a bathroom attendant, as revealed in "The Nothing Club". Based on some of the above tendencies and behaviors, it would seem that Clam is at least mildly autistic, or possibly has Echolalia, though this is never really explored in the show (mental disorders are usually not discussed on children's shows). Clam seems to have immense strength, comparable to Ed's from Ed' Edd 'n' Eddy. He has done things such as walking on walls, and hanging on to avoid falling into a river with one toe only (for a limited time). Clam is possibly a mechanical genius, having created a car out of wood, a hairdryer into an airplane, and other things. Clams strength is demonstrated in many episodes, but the greatest example of his strength is being able to play catch with himself with a gigantic boulder, and able to reduce it to gravel with his bare hands.Other examples are carrying a tree, carrying a bag a well 3 times over his size that took Raj and Lazlo a great deal of stress to lift, and seems to have great endurance, never have being tired in the show. Although Clam lost to Gretchen in tug-of-war shown in "Love Sick," they met again. In the second time (necktie-to-necktie actually), Clam won.
