About
Jake (Full name Jake the Dog) is a magical dog, companion and best friend of Finn, and secondary main character in Adventure Time. Finn refers to him as his friend and will often get offended if others say that Jake is his dog. He has Stretchy Powers that allows him to stretch and manipulate his body, which repeatedly comes in handy during their adventures. He is the son of Joshua and Margaret. Jake is 28 years old in magical dog years, but sometimes he acts less mature. He also likes to play the viola. Jake is a golden-colored bull dog[1] with large, characteristic eyes. His appearance can change drastically due to his ability to morph. Jake has Stretchy Powers, the ability to shape-shift, meaning he can control the size, shape, and dimensions of his body. Not only can he stretch and contort himself and form recognizable shapes from parts of his body, but he can also rearrange his internal organs. One common use of his powers is Key Hand, which he uses to open locks and doors. As shown in "Mystery Train," he is also able to stretch himself to make entirely new people, as long as they remain connected to him. Pen Ward said in an interview that Jake uses his powers lazily and doesn't know their full extent.
In the episode "The Limit," Jake's Stretchy Powers are put to the test. It is revealed that while Jake can stretch his body to incredible lengths, but he does have a limit. As he approaches this limit, his body begins to thin as his body mass is distributed along his increasingly lengthening body, and its becomes hard for him to support himself (at one point he uses his legs and walks along the ground to support his body). If he stretches past his limit, his body completely thins out and he runs the risk of dying.
Jake also has a supernatural sense of smell, as he can apparently smell the specific location of objects from miles and miles away. He also owns a sword and an axe but generally doesn't use them for combat. In "Mystery Train," when disguised as the Conductor he breifly uses a sword to fight Finn, but is easily beaten. Perhaps showing that he is not very skilled with a sword or simply that Finn's own ability with a blade surpasses his. He also has a powerful imagination, as seen in "Rainy Day Daydream." Anything he imagines appears, but only Jake can see it. He can also play the viola, which can have peculiar powers if certain artists are played, such as summoning snakes when he plays a piece by Mozart.
He can sense when Finn is about to cry, he says "it's like a mother-daughter thing." Jake can also calm Finn down with his saliva. Jake is generally laid-back and tands not to worry about things. He relies heavily on his powers to get him out of any predicament he gets himself (or Finn) into, which is often. He often cracks jokes at serious times, but if Finn is feeling disheartened Jake always has a lecture or a song to cheer him up. He is always willing to give input and advice about a situation, but his suggestions are usually inconsistent; they range from encouraging a helpful, fresh perspective to ridiculous nonsense. He can be somewhat irresponsible at times, frequently leaving Finn to fight most of a battle on his own, but he always pulls through when he is needed most.
Jake may also be dyslexic due to the fact that he writes backwards, as shown on his note to Finn in "Storytelling."
Jake also is somewhat musical. The biggest factor is how he plays the viola a lot. He has sung a couple times, the most notable time being shortly after the House Hunting Song, when he sings to Finn a song about home being "where your heart is." In the episode "Death in Bloom," Finn even says that Jake is the "musical one" out of the two of them.
