Joe Bob

Joe Bob was a Laistrygonian giant that along with Marrow Sucker and Skull Eater was part of a group of giants that infiltrated Percy Jackson's school in The Sea of Monsters posing as visitors from Detroit. While undercover they were recruited by Percy's new bully Matt Sloan to play against him in a dodgeball game. During this they transformed and attempted to kill the son of the sea god Joe Bob himself would have succeeded had an unexpected enemy not been around who aided Jackson in defeating Marrow Sucker and Skull Eater as well as all the other giants. Joe Bob who can arguably be named the most intimidating giant of the fight was the last standing and having knocked Jackson's Cyclops friend out was only prevented from accomplishing his mission by the timely arrival of Annabeth Chase who using her Invisiblity Yankees Hat snuck up behind him and dispatched him with her knife, sending him on a lengthy stay to a Tartarus hotel, from which it is assumed that he has not yet returned. Also, the book never allows you to meet Babycakes, whose identity remains mysterious.

Physical description
Joe Bob is described as a typical Laistrygonian giant except for a tattoo on his biceps that states he loves 'Babycakes'. His continued ranting throughout the fight also insinuates that he has some sort of pet named Babycakes, although what type of pet this may be is unknown, possibly a monstrous dog of some sort.
