Revision as of 15:14, 4 September 2017
Blinky the Three-Eyed Fish (or simply Blinky) is a three-eyed orange fish species, found in the ponds and lakes outside the nuclear power plant. The Springfield Nuclear Power Plant caused the mutations.
History
The Blinky species is seen quite often in natural bodies of water in Springfield, and is a product of the nuclear waste of Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Blinky is caught by Bart at the Old Fishin' Hole[1] and a picture of it is snapped by Dave Shutton and put in The Springfield Shopper. At the same time Mr. Burns was running for governor, and Blinky became a major topic in his election. He defended Blinky saying he was the next step in the evolutionary ladder and not a horrible mutant. As a publicity stunt Mr. Burns has dinner at The Simpsons home, and Marge unexpectedly serves the Blinky that Bart had caught earlier. He ends up spitting it out because of its horrible taste and losing the election to Mary Bailey all because of Blinky. Multiple three eyed fish were blinded by drinking the water in their river after Homer and several rednecks (including Cletus Spuckler) dumped Moonshine into the river to avoid being arrested by the police.[2]
Possible evolution of Blinky
Blinky is the Springfield Curling team's mascot.

Video games
The Simpsons Arcade Game: Blinky also appears in The Simpsons Arcade Game and can be picked up and thrown at an enemy.
Bart vs. the World: Blinky appears as an enemy in the Glacier level. He follows the ice flow Bart is riding on, and after a few seconds jumps out of the water to try and hit him. He also appears as one of the characters on the cards in the Concentration minigame. Blinky is pink rather than orange-yellow, possibly due to graphical limitations.
The Simpsons Hit & Run: Blinky appears in Level 3, Mission 8. Lisa has to collect several 3-Eyed Fish for the Sea Captain.
The Simpsons: Tapped Out: Blinky appears in the water when you place lakes.
LEGO Dimensions: While Blinky does not physically appear, Aquaman will mention encountering a three-eyed fish if he and Homer are together.
