Blackbeard, also known as “Beardie” and “Dr. Blackbeard,” loved his log. His favorite activities were parkour, sleeping in weird positions, and pooping in inappropriate places. His favorite place to sleep was under his log, hugging a tall rock, and faceplanted against the glass. His favorite food was worms.

Their favorite memories of him was when he was a part of the Humans Halloween Pirate Costume, trying to eat the humans worm fingers, and judging everyone from atop his log.
