Characteristics

His bust inside shows a well shaven, wide eyed, and apparently respectable - Professor Pendulum of Time Tangled Island is fascinated by Hammerhead's work, vacationing to his homeland and visiting his commemoration.

Professor Hammerhead after the shipwreck has a long beard, scruffy hat and clothing, and interestingly relaxed eyes. Before the shipwreck, however, he had wide eyes, purveying he gained some kind of wisdom from his time on the island. Nonetheless, he boisterously returns home with you, and is happy to be home.
