- "Attention Moonbase, this is Numbuh 88! Father's device is operational! He's got the, I-eh, no, no, no [Rooster call]"
– Numbuh 88 reporting to Moonbase before being animalized
Numbuh 88 is a Kids Next Door spy, apparently one of the best. He was sent in to spy on Father and his Children disguised as their dog, but was found out and turned into a rooster.
History
While spying on Father in his mansion disguised as a dog, he was discovered by Father when he bit on the Animalization Ray wires. Father pulled on his tail which made the costume rip, and revealed Numbuh 88's face. He was the first victim of the Animalization Ray; however, he managed to get a message to the Kids Next Door Moonbase before getting turned into a rooster. The effect of the ray was later reversed (Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.).
He joined the Kids Next Door Senior Command Super Relaxing Retreat and Ice Cream Social held at Sector J's headquarters, along with every other KND Sectors' leaders and commanders (Operation: H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.).
Numbuh 88 was on one of the many screens Numbuh 362 was talking to just prior to her being overwhelmed with requests from other operatives on the Moonbase. He was later in attendance at the Kids Next Door Super Convention Center when Numbuh 362 announced the start of the game of tag to determine the next Supreme Leader of the Kids Next Door. He quickly disappeared when the game started and hid until the game ended. He was presumably not happy with Father being the new leader (Operation: I.T.).
Like all KND operatives, he was present at the signing of the Kid-Teen Treaty at the KND Gihugeacarrier. After the teenager's plan for destroying the KND was stopped, Numbuh 88 started fighting a Teen Ninja using a pillow (Operation: T.R.E.A.T.Y.).
Trivia
- Numbuh 88 uses his dog disguise outside of missions as well.
- The only time he is seen outside of his dog disguise is in Operation: H.O.L.I.D.A.Y., where he is seen in a bathing suit.
