Template:Yellowtail "Yellowtail"[1] is the father of Onion and stepfather of Sour Cream, who made his debut in "Onion Trade."
Appearance
Yellowtail is fair-skinned like his sons. He has a light blonde beard and eyebrows, and wears a bright yellow rain coat with two white stripes near the bottom. He also wears a bright yellow rain hat and blue gumboots.
Personality
Yellowtail, like his son Onion, speaks in a sort of unknown language, as revealed in "Onion Trade." He cares a lot about Onion, but his job as a fisherman leaves him with little time to see him.
Relationships
Onion
Yellowtail doesn't see his son that often as he appears to be a sailor, but when they do see each other, they seem to have a very good father-son relationship.
Greg Universe
Yellowtail and Greg seem to get along well, as Greg was willing to wash his boat in "Steven and the Stevens" despite the fact Greg's business is a car wash and not a "boat wash." Yellowtail was also shown supporting Greg to help him stand in "Ocean Gem" due to Greg's injured foot and comforting him as Greg cried over his wrecked van hinting at a deeper friendship.
Sour Cream
Yellowtail is Sour Cream's step-dad, but their relationship appears to be strained due to his disapproval of Sour Cream's choice to become a DJ instead of a fisherman like himself.
