Albert Duckworth is a recurring character of the Crossover Time series. He is a fox critic for different occasions and is the most popular critic in the town of New York City. He also serves as the announcer for the public events of the town as well.
Appearance[]
Albert is a green newt with a light green underbelly and darker green spots on his tail, red pupils, and has teal hair tied into a ponytail with a purple bow. He has a semi-noticeable Adam's apple.
Albert wears a purple overcoat lined with golden buttons shaped like clovers, black pants and purple dress shoes with yellow buttons, and a black tricorn hat on his head.
Personality[]
He is very critical of other people's work, especially if it has anything to do with food, and also seems to be very picky and criticizes people if he doesn't like what they seem to be doing or the food they serve to him. This is evident during the episode "Lily Pad Thai", where he criticizes Stumpy for his diner's condition and threatens to post a negative review, which he states is something he loves about his job as a restaurant critic. He is seen to have controversial, and sometimes strange, views on restaurants that he visits. After the kraken served to him as a meal grabs him and begins to attack all the amphibians in the restaurant, he states it was a fascinating and stunning experience for him, and later posts a positive review of Russell's Diner.
Background[]
Early life[]
Albert Duckworth is a newt and critic for anyone's work in New York City, writing his reviews for the town paper and sometimes having comic strips.
Firefly Festival[]
During the Firefly Festival, Duckweed announced to everyone that K.O. and Gina are the lovebirds for the festival will be performing the Ritual Dance.
Reviewing Russell's Diner[]
One day, Albert arrives at Russell's Diner, and starts criticizing Stumpy for serving him only fly in his soup, only for Anne Boonchuy to show up and defend Russell and his restaurant. When Albert taunts her, Anne challenges him; give her and Russell two days to turn the diner around and Alert will have to give a positive review, if not he will give a negative one and shut down Russell's business, which Albus agrees to. Though Anne and Russell are to fix up the restaurant and give it a makeover, a disguised Albert arrived at the newly opened restaurant to check out the huge improvements, but stubbornly decides to give the restaurant a bad review anyhow. This causes Anne and Russell to cook up a Kraken and serve it to Albert specifically, but once they bring it to the table, it comes alive and starts attacking everyone. Anne and Russell team up by first spraying its eye with lemon juice and then killing it with a meat masher. After the attack, Albert suddenly changes his mind as he found the experience of food trying to eat you as artful and decides to give the restaurant a positive review instead.
Mind-Controlled[]
Duckworth was among the anthropomorphic animals mind-controlled by Apothecary Gary's Mind-controlling mushroom spores, but was later freed when Bessie ate Gary.
Wartwood's Battle of the Bands[]
Albert is alongside Mayor Soltelco, one of the two judges for Wartwood's Battle of the Bands. Both Albus and Toadstool were impressed with Grime's harp performance, declaring him the winner. Albert then poses for the group photo that Anne, Marcy, and Sasha take as a final goodbye to the town.
Joining the Resistance[]
Sometime later, during the destruction of Amphibia by King Andrias, Albert joined the Wartwood Resistance. He was among the resistance who was informed of the news that someone was bringing them supplies and gear. He later stays behind with the rest of the resistance to beat up a piñata that looks like Andrias.
Resistance's war[]
After the announcement that frogs, toads, and newts would have to work together to fight Andrias is bad received in the Resistance, Anne points out that Albert, being a newt, and Toadstool, being a toad, were living "happily" together in New York City, only for Albert and Soltelco to reveal the dislike and bad relationship between the two.

Trivia[]
- Albert uses a message board in Amphibia which is a literal message board due to the fact that computers do not exist, that is until the episode "Fort in the Road" where technology did in fact exist in Amphibia before the Calamity Box was taken to Earth.
- Albert's name is similar to the name Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series.
