Coach Walrus is the gym teacher of the Skool. She made her only appearance on the show at the beginning of "Vindicated!", when she sent Dib to the counselor's office because she found his screams "scary". She didn't reappear until Issue 32 of the comic series. She was voiced by Fred Tatasciore.

She bears a strong resemblance to an obese man, leading some viewers to think that she is male. This, combined with her massive, tusk-like lower canines, gives her the appearance of her namesake.

Like the stereotype of all gym teachers, Coach Walrus seems to derive enjoyment from watching kids in pain. She also has very unreasonable expectations, and saw no issue in forcing Zim and Dib to face off in the brutal "Ultimate Dodgeball". Like most humans, she was highly contemptuous of Dib, but found his ravings amusing. However, she eventually decided that they were "just scary", and sent him to the counselor's office.

In Issue 32, Coach Walrus seems to consider National Physical Phitness Day as a way of making children suffer and teaching them that they're not good enough.

Facts of Doom[]

  • Couch Walrus was the only other teacher that seemed to have been giving classes to Zim and Dib.
  • Curiously, during her class, her students were seen wearing their regular clothes rather than presumably the P.E. uniform the Skool may or may not have.
  • Similar to Miss Bitters, Coach Walrus is seen wearing glasses that hide her eyes.
  • In the English version, her voice was deep and throaty, making some viewers believe she was an obese man, while in the Latin American version, her voice was clearly female and paradoxically high pitch, contradicting her otherwise fearsome appearance.
