Rocky

Rocky is a major character of the Nick Jr. series PAW Patrol. As of Season 7, he has been voiced by four Canadian actors and debuted in the show's first episode, "Pups Make a Splash". His job as a mechanical worker.

Personality

Rocky is a clever Eco-puppy. He reduces, reuses, and recycles anything he can find. He is quite intelligent, as he often implements devices out of the materials in his vehicle. He doesn't just use his own materials, though; if something's lying around, he'll find a better use for it. He is resourceful and he always has the right materials for repairing things. Second to Ryder, his mechanical know-how is the best and he fixes whatever's broken or malfunctioning.

He has aquaphobia (the fear of water), and is constantly getting wet as a running gag, much to his dismay. As such, he despises taking baths and is determined to avoid them, to Katie's chagrin. He'll face that fear to help others in danger, but he can't seem to get over it permanently. However, he accepts being wet whenever he is turned into a mer-pup or when he's in a scuba outfit. His reasoning is that he's able to breathe underwater as a mer-pup, and that he's dry in his scuba suit.

He's rather open-minded. Even though Marshall and Zuma are associated with water, he's close friends with them. He may get exasperated with Marshall accidentally spraying him, but he is quick to forgive him for that. He's just as playful as the other pups when off-duty.
