Revision as of 16:05, 1 March 2020
Perry the Platypus, also known as Agent P, or just Perry, is the tritagonist of the series Phineas and Ferb. He is Phineas and Ferb's pet platypus, who lives a double life as a secret agent for the O.W.C.A, a secret government organization of animal spies tasked with filing mad and evil scientists. He used to fight Dr. Doofenshmirtz, but at some point after the series ended, he joined the O.W.C.A and started fighting alongside Perry. He was able to keep this a secret until Doofenshmirtz gave it away in "Off to the Falls". However, Perry has been able to keep his blown cover a secret from his immediate superior Major Monogram for the 2 years that followed. He serves as the deuteragonist of the Rise of Bill Arc from Forever Sophomores and the Cipher's Law Arc from Advanced Education, as well as the protagonist of the Return to the 2nd Dimension Arc from Senior Year.
Appearance
Perry is a small cubic platypus with teal fur, a yellow beak and webbed hind feet. He has a thick beaver-like tail of an orange shade. He has blue eyes, and two hair strands sticking out of his head. When acting as a docile pet, Perry has a blank expression with his eyes facing opposite directions to achieve the "dumb" look, and moves on all fours. When portrayed as a secret agent, Perry becomes bipedal and wears a brown fedora on his head. In contrast to his mindless and wild-eyed expression as a pet, the secret agent version of Perry has a stern look with his eyes oriented properly.
