Biography[]
Ratboy's Kingdom[]
Very Tall Friend appears in a variety of early episodes, although like most of the Kingdom Friends, he plays very little in advancing the plot, as the series leans more towards the slice-of-life side. He is first introduced in Ratboy's Kingdom - Chapter 2 as Tall Friend[1].
Starship Genius[]
Very Tall Friend later joins the Starship Genius crew where he and Mister Bigarms are assigned by Ratboy Genius to negotiate terms with Little King John [2].
Tall Friend, as seen in his original 2D form.
The Flood[]
The two friends arrive at Little King John's rebuilt kingdom via riding Old Froggy, an "old friend" of theirs [3]. A day after their arrival, they reveal the purpose of their arrival to Little King John: to ask for his help in the Final Conflict. They explain that the ancient artifact John had discovered is actually the starship that will end an intergalactic war by absorbing the opponents' energy and redirecting it into John's Dimension, releasing most of it to create his world and releasing the rest as water. It is the thing that created his world and the thing that flooded it. After several long talks, John agrees to help, as the creation of his world wouldn't have happened if he doesn't[4].
Their demands to Little King John, in less ambiguous terms, are to open a portal for Bigarms and Tall Friend to return to while also opening the dimensional gateway between the time of the Final Conflict and the time of his world's creation. Little King John did so, and the plan was successful [5].
Epilogue[]
They later return to the Starship to help in the Final Conflict, and pilot an escape pod with the Summer Solstice Baby as the ship approaches electrocution [6]. The group is then picked up by Captain Bob, who flies them home as they hold a small dance party [7].
