The humans know me as Dr. Octavius Brine: renowned geneticist, cheese enthusiast, and frequent donor to NPR pledge drives. But you know me by a different, much older name. A name perhaps you'd hoped you'd never hear again. A phantom! A shadow of a former life! I... am... DAVE!!!
~ Dave introducing himself to the penguins, his most famous quote.

Dr. David Styroker "Dave" Brine, also known in his human form as Dr. Octavius Brine, is the main antagonist of DreamWorks' 30th full-length animated feature film, Penguins of Madagascar: The Movie, a spinoff to the Madagascar franchise.

He is an octopus, a former performer at the Central Park Zoo in New York City, and a world award-winning scientist. He is also Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private's arch-nemesis in the Madagascar movie canon.

He was voiced by John Malkovich.
