caliperrel

Caliperrel is a fictional species created by the artist and animator Patrick Smith, known for his work on *Adventure Time* and *The Amazing World of Gumball*. The character first appeared in Smith’s webcomic *The Amazing World of Gumball* in 2012, later becoming a recurring element in the animated series. Caliperrel is a small, anthropomorphic creature resembling a cross between a caliper (a precision measuring tool) and a rabbit, with exaggerated, mechanical limbs and a compact, angular body.

The species is characterized by its precision, efficiency, and somewhat rigid demeanor. Caliperrels are often depicted as meticulous, logical beings who excel in tasks requiring exactness, such as engineering, measurement, or problem-solving. Their design reflects their functional nature, with minimalistic features and a lack of unnecessary ornamentation. In the *Gumball* universe, Caliperrels are portrayed as both allies and occasional antagonists, depending on the context of their interactions with other characters.

Caliperrels are not native to the *Adventure Time* universe but appear as part of the *Gumball* setting, which exists in a parallel dimension. Their inclusion in *Adventure Time* episodes like "The Calipers" (Season 6, Episode 13) expands their lore, showing them as part of a larger, interconnected world. The species has gained a cult following due to its unique aesthetic and the humor derived from its mechanical, almost inhuman traits.

While Caliperrels remain a niche concept within the broader franchise, their design and role have sparked fan discussions about their potential origins and capabilities. Their presence highlights the interconnected storytelling between *Adventure Time* and *Gumball*, blending humor, creativity, and world-building.
