RELATED: Magic Is Madness - How Adventure Time Explores Mental Health That's, of course, GOLB, who isn't actually named until more than two years later, in the Season 6 episode "You Forgot Your Floaties," in which he's revealed as a malevolent entity ( surprise!) who had attacked Mars and abducted Margles, the wife of King Man, aka Magic Man, aka Normal Man ( whew!). After living out a long life in that alternate realm, Finn dies and flies through space, only to bounce off the tongue of a red, gargantuan, four-eyed being that tries to eat him on his way back to Ooo. The mysterious entity was introduced briefly in 2013 in the episode "Puhoy," in which Finn is transported to Pillow World after retreating into a pillow fort. But who, or what, is GOLB, the foe so massive that his name is in all caps? So, to all of those fans who made videos and wrote blog posts theorizing that GOLB would be the primary antagonist in the finale: Congratulations, you were right. War is averted midway through the finale, thanks in large part to the actions of Finn and Jake, only for the sky to open above the battlefield and reveal GOLB, the enormous malevolent entity who's lurked at the edges of Adventure Time, and the consciousness of fandom, since Season 5.
