“Before I was a human being, I used to be a kingfish”

Scratch will always describe to you that he is a fish, and he relates to fish because he is Piscean, meaning his astrological sign is Pisces. If you know how Scratch speaks, he is very easy to understand and quite lucid. If he does not like you, he will shut you down and seem confusing.
