In "The Internet," Darwin is shown to be good at playing the ukulele. In "The Dress," Darwin draws Gumball really well. This could mean Darwin is an expert artist. However in "The Mustache," "The Procrastinators," and the Darwin's Yearbook episode "Carrie," his drawings are somewhat juvenile and sloppy. In the latter episode, he himself states that he is terrible at drawing. According to the episode "Halloween," Darwin has samhainophobia, a fear of Halloween.Darwin is affectionate; he likes being kissed, as seen in "The Kiss," holding hands (Gumball mimics him saying so in "The Sidekick"), and hugs, as he states in “The Hero."

Darwin's name is most likely based on the scientist Charles Darwin, who gained fame for his theory of evolution. A fish with legs or a "Darwin fish" is also considered somewhat of a universal symbol for Darwinism. "Raglan" may refer to HMS Raglan, a World War I Royal Navy monitor vessel. The name may also be a reference to the township of Raglan, New Zealand. The town is well known for its surfing, as well as a rare subspecies of dolphin. Darwin has been shown to have the ability to utilize echolocation, as dolphins do.Caspian" is likely a reference to the Caspian Sea, the world's largest enclosed body of water. Prince Caspian is a character in C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia series. Darwin and the prince both possess many similar traits, and Prince Caspian rode through the sea on a ship called the Dawn Treader. Ahab, another of Darwin's middle names, is a reference to Captain Ahab, a sea captain obsessed with killing the white whale Moby-Dick in the book of the same name. "Poseidon" is a reference to Poseidon (known as Neptune in Roman mythology), the god of the seas from Greek mythology. Poseidon is also the god of horses, and Darwin is shown to be used by Gumball as a mount on more than one occasion.Nicodemus the Hagiorite was a saint who lived from 1749-1809. He was purported to possess a love for all things, much like Darwin's seemingly constant outlook on life. Nicodemus was also in the Bible, being 'reborn' as a Christian. This parallels Darwin's transformation from ordinary fish to a "reverse mermaid."In "The Party," Darwin claims to be part suckerfish. Darwin is quite athletic. He can run as fast as both Anais and Gumball, as shown in "The Quest," "The Kiss," and "The Remote," can climb faster than Gumball, and is a skilled swimmer.In "The Internet," Darwin is shown to be good at playing the ukulele.

Darwin is also very sensitive and empathetic. He is very affectionate of others, as seen in his interactions with his family, and specifically Gumball, throughout the series. This love and affection may be a weakness of his; however, as a result, he is very possessive without his loved ones, and feels very lonely when not around them. Such is evidenced in "The Bros" and "The Burden," in which Penny's newfound relationship with Gumball makes him jealous (presumably for the first time in his life, as suggested by the events of "The Flower").

Despite Darwin's general happiness and positivity, he has been known to get angry at times when pushed beyond his limit. Although it is a side of his personality not often seen, "The Banana" and "The Words" both show that he can resort to senseless violence when given a reason to do so.Darwin, along with his predecessors and the Evil Turtle, is the only Watterson that is not a mammal of some sort. Darwin is the only Watterson who does not wear pants. Darwin can breathe in both water and air. Darwin likes Mexican food, as indicated in "The Countdown."Darwin seems to be multilingual, as he spoke a complex Chinese sentence in "The DVD," and spoke French in "The Treasure," though the latter may only have been a temporary ability gained through hypnosis, and the subtitles for the former only stated "No." He also spoke Cantonese in "The Others," ironically in order to tell Clare that he and Gumball did not speak said language. Darwin is also capable of speaking to non-anthropomorphic animals, as seen in "The Question," "The Traitor," and "The Origins: Part Two."In "The Dress," Darwin uses his left hand when he draws Gumball in the dress. However, he does other common tasks with his right hand. This suggests that he may be ambidextrous. It might be a development oversight as well. Darwin most likely has the longest name out of any character. He has seven names, as shown in "The Party."

Darwin is a very happy and positive person. He is optimistic, always trying to see the best in most of the scenarios he is in, and in general, always tries to have a smile on his face. Not only does he desire to be happy, but he also desires to see others happy. His selfless acts of happiness can be seen in episodes such as "The Fan," "The Advice," and "The Stories." In all three episodes, he chooses to do the things he does in order to make a particular sad person happier.

Darwin is also a very grateful person. As seen in "The Flower" and "The Night," Darwin is shown not wanting much and just being happy with his current life. Darwin expects the best in people, and his optimism extends to a romantic and somewhat naïve view on the world. His idealistic viewpoints can be seen in "The Wicked" in which, despite his brother's views and Mrs. Robinson's obvious malicious intent, he firmly believes that Mrs. Robinson is a good person at heart, and that there is a reason for her actions.

Darwin has a strong sense of honesty; he also desires to tell the truth, no matter how much trouble it may cause. His strong sense of honesty can be seen in "The Shell" and "The Gift," in which he cannot adhere to the simplest of Gumball's white lies. His honesty, however, is prevailed by his politeness towards others; in "The Words," Gumball encourages him to bluntly suggest his opinions towards students.Darwin is also morally grounded in general; he is typically the one to stop his siblings from doing anything wrong, and he is slow to take "shady" approaches. Darwin's reluctance to do anything wrong can be seen in "The DVD," in which he tells Gumball not to pirate Alligators on a Train, opting for a more honest and cleaner route. This trait of Darwin is what causes Gumball to see him as a "moral guardian" as evidenced in "The Sidekick."

He used to be Gumball's pet goldfish, but one day, he grew legs and generally adapted to life outside of water, so he was adopted by the Watterson family.Darwin is an orange goldfish with arms and legs. His goldfish-shaped head takes up his entire body, with his fins and legs hanging down from it. He has retained his goldfish tail and fins, the latter of which he now uses as arms and hands. His legs are much longer than his body, ending with plain feet matching the color and texture of the rest of his body. Usually, though, he covers them with green and white sneakers. Darwin is also shown to have a bubbly butt on the back of his head, as revealed in the official trailer. The inside of Darwin's mouth is red, and his tongue is red-orange. In his season 1 design, the shadow cast by his head on his legs was commonly misconceived as a black shirt and pants.
