Cap Barnacles headcanon, part idk; good hearing

I headcanon that Barnacles gets one of the other Octonauts to sound the octo alert because he's got good hearing and that gives him time to mentally prepare for the loud noise

Also the only episodes I recall that Barnacles himself sounds the octo alert off the top of my head are the tree lobsters and the Great Swamp Search

Ok, I looked it up on Octonauts episode list on Wikipedia, and it looks like Dashi, Kwazii and occasionally Peso sound the octo alert the most, and Barnacles only really sounds the octo alert if they are out exploring somewhere and they only have the octo compass (which admittedly is not a problem in Above and Beyond, but still

This has been sitting in my7 drafts since the 16th of September so I thought I would post this now since Christmas is the time of giving, so I give you this headcanon

Azumarill is a blue, bipedal semiaquatic leporine Pokémon that has an ovoid body. The lower half of its body is white with a white, bubble-like pattern above it, which helps to camouflage it in water. When in the water, it rolls up its ears to prevent the insides from becoming wet. The tip of its tail tends to glow when it attacks or is excited.

Azumarill has highly developed hearing that allows it to hear distances, even when it is underwater. By keeping still and listening closely, it can identify prey even in wild, fast-moving rivers. If Azumarill spots a drowning Pokémon, it will make an air bubble that helps them breathe or when Azurill are playing near the rivers. It lives in rivers and lakes and can live in the water all day long.

The perks of being sensitive to sound:

•You can be a hearing aid for a deaf person

•You can hear different bird calls from miles away

•You can hear people talking shit behind your back, wether about you or not

*You can hear the cries of children stuck in overheating cars & alert someone immediately

•You can hear someone quietly crying from the other room

Marill is a small, blue, bipedal semi-aquatic rodent Pokémon. It has a nearly spherical shape with a white belly and it has round ears with red insides. These sensitive ears can detect distant sounds. The tail is flexible and configured to stretch, and the ball is full of oil that acts as a buoy to help keep Marill afloat. The ball at the tip of its tail can glow when Marill attacks. In the Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire episode Abandon Ship!, Marill was shown to be able to bounce on its tail. In the TCG, Marill is shown to rapidly spin its tail, seemingly readying for an attack.

Marill is able to swim in strong water currents without being slowed down by the water's resistance, due to its water-repellent fur. Marill feeds on aquatic plants in addition to fishing for food. When it dives, its tail can be seen bobbing on the water's surface. It will anchor its tail around a tree when fishing at the edge of a fast-moving stream. Marill never gets cold after swimming in cold water, due to its water-repellent fur drying up quickly the moment it leaves the water. It lives on the water's edge.

Clefable is a timid, nocturnal creature that flees when it senses people approaching and is one of the world's rarest Pokémon. Its sensitive ears can distinctly hear a pin drop from half a mile to 1,100 yards away. Because of its acute hearing, it prefers to live in quiet, mountainous areas of which it is protective. It has also been seen at deserted lakes during a full moon. Using a bouncy gait, it can walk on water and sometimes appears to be flying using its small wings. In the Pokémon the Series episode Clefairy Tales, Clefable is depicted as an extraterrestrial Pokémon. According to one tradition, seeing a pair of Clefable ensures a happy marriage. Some scientists believe Clefable stares intently at the moon because it is homesick. There is also a legend to this, which tells of how it listens for the voices of its kind on the moon during clear and quiet nights. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Clefable is known to sleep in remote places during quiet, moonlit nights. It is theorized that Clefable is dreaming about its friends and distant homeland during its peaceful slumber.

The size of the long, pointed horn on its forehead is indicative of the strength of its venom.

Nidoran♂ constantly listens for the sounds of approaching enemies with its large ears. Said ears have unique muscles that allow them to be moved in any direction, and even the slightest sound does not escape Nidoran♂'s notice. In order to listen to distant locations, it flaps its ears like wings. When angry, it extends its toxic spikes and charges, stabbing with its horn to inject poison. Nidoran♂ is brave, and will risk its own life to protect Nidoran♀. Nidoran♂ lives in open spaces, such as savannas and plains.
