A character that ends up in a body of water may not emerge alone. They might come out with animals or plants attached to them. It may be grabbing on to them, draped over them, or even in their mouth! The types of creatures vary too — they can be anything from starfish to octopuses to crabs, and even seaweed or other plants! It's more often than not Played for Laughs, and just how the creatures got there are left to the viewer's imagination. Some instances however do play this for horror or at least ickiness (some animals like leeches or candiru fish simply invoke too much nausea in audiences) and in general this trope is rooted on how sea life is "disgusting" to most people's sensibilities, implying at least some Cringe Comedy by default. May overlap with Clam Trap and Piranha Problem. Supertrope to Instant Leech: Just Fall in Water!. Compare Sea Hurtchin. |

Hercules: Phil attempts early-on to hit on Meg. Due to her past with men, she understandably is repulsed and shoves the satyr off her lap and into the nearby lake. Phil emerges from the water with a fish flailing about in his mouth and he simply pulls it out while glaring at Meg. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In "Return to Omashu", the purple pentapus was seen in a bucket filled with water and inside a sewer when the gang used it to enter Omashu. They are known to be clingy unless it was stroked in the head and leaves behind spots which they used to explain a fake disease, pentapox. In "The Swamp", when the gang fell into the Foggy Swamp, Sokka emerged with an elbow leech on his... elbow. It got a Call-Back in The Legend of Korra when Toph (ironically, "The Swamp" was Toph's first early appearance prior to her actual introduction) pulls off an elbow leech that Korra failed to notice. |

Steven Universe: In one episode, the Crystal Gems just barely get away from a flooding underwater temple. When they get out, we see a fish in Amethyst's mouth, an octopus on Garnet's head, and seaweed on Pearl's face. A couple seconds later, Garnet points out that Pearl also has a lobster on her butt. | |

Tintin: In "The Red Sea Sharks", Captain Haddock falls off the raft and comes up spitting out a fish. He falls off again later, coming up wearing a jellyfish as a hat, allowing Tintin to make a pun on the raft of the medusa. In "Red Rackham's Treasure", the Thompsons are pinched by crabs when they make landfall at an unknown island. |

On Futurama, Leela falls into a mutagenic lake. At first it appears that she has an octopus for a head, but it turns out to be a real octopus atop her head. An octopus that used to be a little girl named Virginia. | |

The Emperor's New Groove: When Kronk accidentally pulls the trapdoor lever, Yzma falls through and lands with a splash offscreen. She then reenters the room with an alligator biting her dress. She smacks it, and it scrambles away and whimpers like a dog. The same thing happens to Kuzco when he and Pacha try to enter Yzma's lab later in the movie. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "PPOV (Pony Point of View)", the boat capsizes off-screen and Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie all come out of the ocean covered in seaweed. When Rarity cleans up later, she even finds a crab hiding in her mane. Making it especially silly, it's eventually revealed the water where they sank was only a few feet deep. | |

Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: In Flying Island: The Sky Adventure episode 33, General Balloon describes the goats as having "fire-like passion". His soldiers take his words literally, saying they'll put the fire out after soaking the General with water, leaving some sea plants, an octopus, and a starfish clinging to him. | |
