Gulp is a minor character of the 2021 cartoon show, first appearing in Season 3's "Rowena's Plant".
Character[]
She is Rowena's plant. From what Rowena says, she is quite obedient and is fed regularly. She is a parallel for dogs in this universe, as she frequently barks.
In her first appearance in "Rowena's Plant", she helps Rowena trick Clumsy and Dimwitty into thinking she is sick and helping her catch Smurfs. The two bring various Smurfs, who all end up getting eaten by Gulp. Later when they bring Papa Smurf to help, he decides to get Gulp genuinely sick by giving her a sick potion. Later, she accompanies Rowena to Gargamel's hovel, where Gargamel heals her. When the three Smurfs combat against Gargamel, they make Gulp gigantic and she eats Rowena and Gargamel while they save their friends.
Gulp also makes an appearance in "What a Doll" and accompanies Rowena in several bits of the episode, acting as a villain in Rowena's imagination to find a Prince Charming. When, Gargamel, Rowena, and Dwayne get turned into dolls by Vanity and Storm, Gulp plans to eat the three of them offscreen.

Trivia[]
- Gulp is similar to the Carnivorous Daisy from the comic book story and 1981 cartoon adaptation called "The Smurfs And The Howlibird", And the Snap Dragons from the two episodes of Season 7 of the 80s series called "Smurf Pet" & "All The News That’s Fit To Smurf".
- Gulp follows and accompanies Rowena along on occasion, sharing roughly the same views to Gargamel’s behavior, and generally stands by her side when the evil wizard’s doing something in "Rowena’s Plant" and "What a Doll" is similar to how in the later seasons of the 1981 cartoon, where in some episodes where Gargamel does (or sometimes doesn’t appear), Azrael follows and accompanies Scruple on occasion, sharing the same views to Gargamel’s behavior, And generally stands by his side when the evil wizard is doing something.
