Aoshima is a creature seen during one of Mabel's hallucinations from eating too much Smile Dip.
History
In "The Inconveniencing," after Mabel eats "bleventeen" packs of Smile Dip, Mabel sees and rides Aoshima in a sugar induced hallucination, claiming "the future is in the past." It appears as a flying dolphin with a small, yellow bow tie and two muscular human-like arms. After spinning around, it grows another dolphin-like head and two more muscular human arms, one from each mouth. On each palm of its hands are dolphin faces, which shoot rainbow-colored rays from their mouths. While the creature is doing so, a car alarm can be heard.
In "Weirdmageddon 2: Escape From Reality," Aoshima is briefly seen in Mabeland. It was later seen during Dipper's trial and is sitting down with the other residents, after Mabel had no more control of things Aoshima turns evil and tries to kill both the twins, Wendy and Soos, but is soon destroyed once Mabel pops the bubble containing Mabeland.
Appearance
Aoshima is a hallucination-induced monster, who appears to be a blue and white dolphin with a yellow bow tie and four heads, but can grow an arm out of each mouth. In turn, each arm gains a face and a gaping mouth, which makes dolphin sounds and emits rainbow-colored rays.
