Patar is one of Patrick Star's prehistoric ancestors. He first appears in the episode "Ugh."
Description[]
Patar looks a lot like his descendant Patrick, except he has more chest hair, a bigger mouth, a tooth on the bottom instead of the top, and flared nostrils that resemble those of a gorilla since it is prehistoric times.
He wears the same clothes as the present Patrick, but instead of pants, he wears typical caveman leopard skin-like clothes. He is more civilized and tame than Patrick (primitive). He lives in a rock just like his descendant does now.
Personality[]
He is very strong, playful, and curious. Patar is very foolish, even eating his own shirt, exposing him as naked. However, he is also powerful, even crushing Squog when he hugs him at the beginning.
He was friends with SpongeGar and Squog, SpongeBob and Squidward's respective ancestors, However, Squog, unlike Squidward, who is hostile to Patrick, was friendly with Patar as well.
He will eat anything, just so long as it has enough salt on it. Examples are Prehistoric Gary's slime, Mr. Krabs' small ancestors, his clothes, coral, the wood, and even his own burnt hand. He was the first to notice that when he clapped it rained, but got overzealous and caused a thunderstorm, creating fire.
