Skillet is the deuteragonist of 12 oz. Mouse. He is Mouse Fitzgerald's best friend. Unlike, most of the major characters in the series, he never speaks but instead, he screeches to communicate.
Since Skillet only screeches to communicate, however not many people can understand him. Though, Fitz, Roostre and a couple other characters are able to understand on what he is actually saying. While characters like Golden Joe don't even have a clue on what he's saying. Such as the "Invictus" special where Skillet, Golden Joe, New Guy, Roostre and Peanut Cop are flying on a magic carpet and Skillet screeches to tell the gang where Mouse is currently being held. After Skillet does this, Golden Joe says "Eee-Eee-Eee! What's with all this Eee-Eee-Eee stuff man?!" Also, it is unknown if Peanut Cop is able to understand him due to him just laughing when he started "speaking".
