Experiments

Many of Stitch's "cousins" are featured in this group photo taken at the end of Leroy & Stitch .

This is a list of experiments from the Disney animated Lilo & Stitch franchise , most of them making their first appearance in Lilo & Stitch: The Series . These fictional experiments, also referred to as Stitch's cousins , are genetically engineered creatures created by Dr. Jumba Jookiba in his lab at " Galaxy Defense Industries ", with the assistance of Dr. Jacques von Hämsterviel who funded the projects with "shady" business deals. Prior to the events of Lilo & Stitch , every experiment created was dehydrated into a small orb called an " experiment pod " and stored in a special container for transport. In Stitch! The Movie , the container was accidentally opened, and the pods dispersed and rained down on the island of Kauaʻi . The experiments within the pods are reactivated upon contact in water, a point of concern because many of the experiments are dangerous and Kauaʻi hosts one of the wettest spots on Earth.

Upon encountering each experiment, whose information is contained in Jumba's database , Stitch 's human friend and partner Lilo gives the experiment a name just as she gave Stitch his name. The two then attempt to rehabilitate the experiments and find a purpose for them on Earth that suits their specific abilities, referred to as the "one true place" they belong.

Stitch, inspired by Hawaii's terminology, refers to the other experiments as his "cousins" and considers them all a part of his ʻohana , or "extended family". All of Jumba's original 626 experiments have their names and numbers listed alongside the credits in Leroy & Stitch .

Due to different experiments' original purposes, the majority of experiments each have a unique appearance, powers, and weaknesses. Though all experiments have unique capabilities and functions, most of them have some abilities in common due to Jumba reusing DNA from one experiment as a prototype for a different experiment, like the similarities of body shape, appearance, and even for powers like in the case of Jumba reusing some of Twang (021)'s DNA in the creation of Bragg  (145), granting the latter musical ability. Most seem capable of scaling walls like a gecko (as Stitch frequently does); many are able to grow and retract an extra pair of arms. Since they are genetic experiments each created with multiple kinds of DNA that Jumba sampled throughout the galaxy, they all age quite differently than creatures on Earth as seen with Lilo and the rest of humanity when time is lapsed twenty years in " Skip ".

It is also shown that some experiments' powers (such as Mr. Stenchy (254)'s cuteness, and Checkers (029)'s hypnotic effect) do not affect other experiments, possibly so that these powers do not prevent other experiments from carrying out their primary functions. If affected by other experiments' powers, it might be temporary as Stitch managed to recover from Drowsy (360)'s sleep-inducing program without being exposed to water. Though Angel (624) primarily reverts other experiments (before her time) to evil, Amnesio (303) and Retro (210) can do so as well.

Additionally, it is shown that when an experiment is dehydrated, they will deactivate and turn into a small orb called an experiment pod. If an experiment pod gets wet, the experiment will be reactivated and released. According to Jumba, a home food dehydrator is the only known method of deactivating an experiment a second time.

On numerous occasions, it has been shown that most, if not all, of the experiments have an intentional imperfection added to their design by Jumba: a "fail-safe" of some sort. These imperfections were presumably added in by Jumba in the event his experiments ran out of control, in order to provide him with a way of stopping them in their tracks. Even his most powerful experiments, like 627 and Leroy , both had their own intentional imperfection, with an overreactive sense of humor and the song " Aloha ʻOe " being their respective imperfections.

Upon each experiment's creation, it is important that their molecules be charged. If an experiment's molecules are not fully charged, about a year after their creation, they will suffer glitches, during which they will experience seizures and temporarily revert to their original programming. If the molecular charging process is not completed, these glitches will eventually burn out the experiment's circuits and kill them.

Experiment series

The first digit of the experiment numbers reflects what series of experiments they belong to. The official series of experiments, as stated by Jess Winfield , one of the executive producers, are as follows:

• 0-Series: Jumba's test batch, including many household helpers.
• 1-Series: Civic disturbances.
• 2-Series: Technological and scientific.
• 3-Series: Psychological.
• 4-Series: Top secret and mysterious series of militaristic and mostly failed experiments.
• 5-Series: Elemental and environmental manipulators.
• 6-Series: Battlefield and doomsday experiments with galactic implications.

For the most part, the colors of the experiment pods correspond to the series numbers; however, some of the pods are colored incorrectly.

0-series: jumba's test batch, including many household helpers, 1-series: civic disturbances, 2-series: technological and scientific, 3-series: psychological, 4-series: top secret and mysterious series of militaristic and mostly failed experiments, 5-series: elemental and environmental manipulators, 6-series: battlefield and doomsday experiments with galactic implications, other experiments.

• According to Jess Winfield , during the development of Lilo & Stitch: The Series , the idea of it focusing on "the other 625 experiments" was birthed from an idea by artist and director Steve Lyons who "suggested that an evil villain clone Stitch into a bunch of different creatures that Lilo and Stitch would chase." Also, the phrase "the other 625 experiments" was coined either by Winfield himself, Bobs Gannaway , or possibly Barry Blumberg, although Winfield doesn't remember who was first to say it. [1]
• Disney's Stitch: Experiment 626 featured an experiment series numbered as 700, which were mass-produced by Jumba and served as enemies in the game.
• In Stitch! , eleven previously unseen experiments created by Jumba were introduced in addition to two experiments created by someone other than Jumba. The first, called Skunkuna , was created by Hämsterviel , and the second was Dark End , created by  Delia . Since neither were created by Jumba, they do not fall under his numbering scheme.
• In Stitch & Ai , Jumba creates new experiments based on ancient scrolls he is given. Most are based on Chinese mythical creatures, while others appear to be derived from some creatures. It is unknown whether or not Jumba considers these experiments a part of his existing numbering scheme.
• Tippy has also appeared in the comics, but we do not know anything about her except that she is Jumba's experiment. Additionally, her name is not seen in the experiments list in the end credits of Leroy & Stitch , so she most likely doesn't apply to Jumba's numbering scheme.
• According to the series episode " Skip " (as seen on a monitor) and the Magic Kingdom attraction Stitch's Great Escape!  (as seen on wanted posters in the exit halls of the attraction), the official shorthand prefix for "Experiment" is "X-" (X with a hyphen). In addition, Jumba referred to Spooky as "X-300" (ex three hundred), Kixx as "X-601" (ex six-oh-one), and Morpholomew as "X-316" (ex three-one-six) in their respective eponymous episodes , further supporting this.
• Experiments 021, 153, 274, 340, 412, 413, 414, 415, 607, and 611 have their names, numbers, and functions confirmed, but have never physically appeared.
• Experiments 607 and 611 have appeared as stylized graphics on Jumba's computer and the  experiment pod container 's screen, respectively.
• Experiment 627 has physically appeared, but was never given an official name.
• 347, 531 and Tippy have appeared in the comics, but do not have their functions confirmed.
• There are several experiments that have appeared in DVD bonus features, comics, and Leroy & Stitch that have never been assigned to a name and number .
• Also, two experiments appeared in Stitch!Now , but they were not confirmed to be Jumba's experiments.
• There are some functions that have never been assigned to a name and number: the experiment designed to turn things into ham was mentioned by Pleakley in " Remmy "; as well as the experiment designed to clog sinks and the experiment with two horns that makes "zzz" sound were mentioned by Reuben and Gantu (respectively) in "Skip" (both were captured by Gantu). Also, some experiments are revealed to have similar abilities of 627.
• Of the 125 experiments that have appeared and been confirmed (including Stitch), Stitch! The Movie introduced 7 experiments , the original series introduced a total of 93 with 45 of them appearing in Season 1 and 48 appearing in Season 2 , Leroy & Stitch introduced 13 , and Stitch! introduced 11 (excluding Dark End, Skunkuna, and Sproutling ).
• We have met 20% of Jumba's experiments in the franchise that have their names, numbers, and functions confirmed, while we only know around 21% of the experiments' functions.
• In most of the franchise, Stitch typically prefaces the names of his fellow experiments (other than Angel ) with "cousin".

Continuity errors

• Several experiments have been given multiple numbers , such as Bonnie and Clyde , who are called 349 and 350 in their episode , but called 149 and 150 in the end credits of Leroy & Stitch . The same goes for Finder and Ploot , who are called 458 and 515 in their respective episodes , but called 158 and 505 in the end credits of Leroy & Stitch .
• Many of the experiments that appear in the background during the Aloha Stadium battle in Leroy & Stitch are duplicates or recolors and slight edits of existing experiments. They were put in as screen fillers to make it appear as if all 626 experiments were actually there. For example, Houdini appears five times in the frame, while Cannonball appears eight times; twice recolored, twice re-edited and four times copied. Phoon is also seen twice in the scene, both in normal and mutated form.
• Experiment 272 was listed as "Mamf" in the end credits of Leroy & Stitch . However, in Stitch! , Wormhole is called 272 while 275 is given to Tickle-Tummy , who was mistakenly left off the list in the movie. When asked about the numbers of these three, Jess Winfield stated: "The best I can tell you about Tickletummy/Wormhole is that Jumba's genius does not extend to keeping a tidy database. There is some confusion in his records regarding Tickletummy, Wormhole, and a third experiment named Mamf, with different lists giving different numbers for them. Perhaps it will be sorted out someday."

Jumba Jookiba

Dr. Jumba Jookiba is a major character in the Lilo & Stitch franchise . He is a self-proclaimed evil genius responsible for the creation of the infamous Experiment 626, better known as Stitch , and over 628 other illegal genetic experiments .

Jumba was born on the planet Quelte Quan. There, he created a series of illegal genetic experiments , but was eventually banished as a result. He then bought his own laboratory , where he continued to create more experiments alongside his former college friend Dr. Hämsterviel . The two scientists both graduated from Evil Genius University and managed a business called "Jokes on You". Eventually, both Jumba and Hämsterviel would be arrested, following the creation of Jumba's latest experiment, 626 . However, this new experiment proved to help Jumba in more ways than one, having him released from prison and finding him a family that loves him and vice versa.

He is said to be divorced and has mentioned his ex-wife several times (usually in a negative way as she often nags him to get a real job). However, he has stronger respect for his mother.

Personality

Jumba is a comical and endearing character, despite his "evil" status. Prior to meeting Lilo , Jumba was somewhat insane and ruthless, engaging in illegal, genetic experimentation for the sole purpose of wreaking havoc across the galaxy. His motivation towards such malice remains unknown, though his previously sadistic nature hints it was merely for his own evil satisfaction and enjoyment. He is more interested in anarchy and chaos, rather than true evilness.

Interestingly, Jumba's switch from villainous to heroic was rather hasty, showing he apparently had some form of moral to him even before meeting Lilo, as he quickly agreed to rescue her after she was wrongfully captured by Captain Gantu , in an attempt to capture Stitch . Upon meeting Lilo, and following his welcome into the Pelekai family , Jumba became rather humble and began to act as a father-like figure towards Lilo, his previously egotistical nature watering down to mere pride and confidence, and his villainy forming into innocent mischief. He is often paired with his friend Pleakley , who was forced to work alongside him to capture Stitch when he was still a menace. The two had a bitter relationship at first, but following the events of the original film, Jumba and Pleakley became the closest of friends.

Ironically, for an evil genius, Jumba is actually very friendly and sociable outside his work. He is also one of the few characters, aside from Lilo, Nani , David , Pleakley, and most of the other experiments, who loves Stitch. In fact, Jumba loves all of his genetic creations, having a sense of paternal pride in them. He speaks with a vague Russian accent, but also uses very poor grammar and refers to himself in the third person.

Though the extent of Jumba's "genius" can be somewhat questionable at times, the scientist proves to be a mastermind in his own right, as well as generally, having the ability to create new, sentient lifeforms single-handedly, as well as a slew of different creations, as seen in the animated series, though they can sometimes cause more havoc than initially intended, even if their purpose was to enhance life's fortunes, rather than cause mayhem.

Physical appearance

Jumba is a large, overweight, sloth-like alien, known as a Kweltikwan, with pale pink skin on his face, chest, stomach, and underarms while he has dull purple skin mostly on the back, such as his abdominal and head, with some part forming a "V" outing on the top, and on the over arms and legs. His face and stomach are rotund and rather bulbous, along with his arms and legs are really thick, compared to his floppy ears on the sides of his neck with the innards pink are relatively small. He has a large purple koala-like nose and a wide mouth with large, blunt-edged hippo-like teeth. Jumba has four eyes, two that are large and two that are small on each side, with pale yellow sclerae and black pupils. He has four fingers on each hand yet apparently lack toes. Jumba is mostly bald, only having three short black hairs on the top of his head (after Clip ate his hair).

During his time on Hawaii , and when he's in his "Lilo's uncle" disguise, he wears a yellow Hawaiian shirt, which doesn't fit him well, with a couple of black vertical buttons and red designs on it, blue shorts with white linings, and gray boots with light gray soles. Sometimes his Hawaiian shirt is light blue with white designs.

When he was imprisoned on Prison Asteroid K-37 , he wore a prison jumpsuit covered in horizontal dark and light blue stripes.

When he was a scientist, he wore a white lab coat and gray pants.

Powers and abilities

• Multiple Eyes : Jumba has a set of four eyes.
• Peak Strength : Jumba is strong, though, above-average. His lifting capacity is demonstrated when he throws a comb device that penetrates a door. When fighting Stitch, he ripped off a dish cabinet off a wall then threw several dishes at him like projectiles only penetrating the roof.
• Peak Durability : Jumba is astoundingly tough. During his fight with Stitch, he was thrown out a window and hit with a Volkswagen Beetle three times, but comes up a little shaken. Also, he, along with Stitch, survived an explosion caused by a plasma cannon entering a meltdown sequence that was powerful enough to destroy Lilo's house.
• Genius Intellect : While not having much terms in strength or combat, Jumba's greatest asset is his abnormally high IQ. During his college years, Jumba graduated from Evil Genius University. Jumba even stated when he was born, he was born a genius, hence he was immune to Spike's goofy spikes as he was already 1% percent clever. He was also the lead scientist of Galaxy Defense Industries. He also created Tantalog, a language that is native to him, his species, and the illegal experiments he created. This was demonstrated again when his age was reversed by Babyfier, as he already looked up an antidote to reverse the effects. Though, his intelligence can be hindered only by a few small and occasional lapses in memory. Even when exiled on Earth, Jumba is able to use materials on Earth to further his research and experimentation, showing his capabilities are nearly unrivaled.
• Expert Scientist : Given his self-proclamation of being an "evil genius" and college years at Evil Genius University, Jumba has a high degree in science. For the past years, Jumba created 626 experiments mixed with various alien DNA. The experiments are destructive and complex, even Jumba would have a difficult time capturing them. He stated Stitch, also known as 626, is proof of his genius. Though, the experiments he created do have their own flaws, some even are useful for Jumba only. Jumba can even use material on Earth for his research and further experimentation. He was able to create 627, an experiment that's stronger than Stitch with no flaws and impossible to be rehabilitated, and Leroy, another experiment that has the same powers as Stitch, only with a few extra abilities the latter doesn't have.
• Expert Inventor : Jumba is also capable of creating complex and destructive machinery. With his high knowledge in alien technology, Jumba can created weapons even out of materials found on Earth. His capabilities are proven when he created the X-Buggy and various gadgets to benefit Lilo and Stitch's experiment hunting. He'd even created an container for the experiment pods and a laptop with all the details about the experiments. He was also able to fix the red police cruiser that was obliterated in the crash when Stitch took it and was even able to create a fusion chamber out of household appliances to recharge Stitch's molecules.

Appearances

Lilo & stitch.

Jumba in Lilo & Stitch .

In his first appearance, Jumba was on trial for creating illegal genetic experiments. While Jumba was imprisoned, Stitch escaped his craft that would have sent him to a desert asteroid for life in exile (in the hopes that he would eventually perish for want of food ). The Grand Councilwoman then commanded Jumba to search the island of Hawaii to find and capture Stitch, granting him one of her warriors' plasma cannons in an attempt to stun 626.

Jumba and his new sidekick Pleakley tried numerous plans to capture Stitch, but always failed, mainly due to either their incompetence, Stitch's aggressive nature, Pleakley's insistence on the rule that Jumba should never cause destruction to anyone crossing his path, or all three of them at the same time. When Jumba and Pleakley were camped out on surveillance, Jumba laments that he never gave 626 a greater purpose, wondering what it must be like for 626 to not even have memories to think about in the middle of the night. Once Jumba and Pleakley were fired and scheduled to a prison sentence due to their failure to capture 626 on time, Jumba decided to play by his own rules - which involves causing as much destruction as he wants, much to Pleakley's dismay. A battle between Jumba and Stitch occurred at Lilo's home . Due to the battle, a blaster exploded and Jumba and Pleakley fled from the home.

While Jumba and Pleakley were away, Stitch and Lilo were kidnapped by Captain Gantu . Stitch managed to escape, but was put in shackles by Jumba. Lilo's sister, Nani asked Jumba and Pleakley if they knew where Lilo was located, but the duo had no clue. Stitch convinced Jumba rather easily to help save Lilo. Nani, Stitch, Pleakley, and Jumba set off to rescue Lilo. Once everyone was saved and Gantu was defeated, Jumba helped rebuild Lilo's house and becomes a part of Lilo's ohana along with Pleakley and Stitch.

Stitch! The Movie

Jumba in Stitch! The Movie .

Jumba reappears in the franchise's second film. In the film, Jumba is kidnapped by Gantu and Dr. Hämsterviel , Jumba's former lab partner who plots to take over the galaxy; originally thought to have been deceased by the events of the film. It is revealed that Jumba created a far greater amount of experiments other than Stitch.

Before his kidnapping, Jumba managed to hide his experiments with Pleakley, though this would only prompt Hämsterviel to hold the scientist for ransom, threatening to kill Jumba unless the experiments were handed over; though Jumba's sass and fearless demeanor prevented the villains from legitimately intimidating him. Pleakley, Nani, and former CIA agent, Cobra Bubbles , constructed a transaction area in defeat. Nevertheless, Lilo and Stitch managed to save both Jumba and the experiments, though they are accidentally set free. In response, Jumba and the others are recruited by the Grand Councilwoman (who was also alerted about the situation regarding Hämsterviel and Jumba) in journeying across the island to find each experiment and turn them from bad to good.

Lilo & Stitch: The Series

Jumba with one of his experiments, Clip , in Lilo & Stitch: The Series .

Now residing with Lilo and Stitch in Hawaii, Jumba goes under the guise of Lilo's uncle and plays a major role in the series. With 623 experiments scattered around the island, Jumba provides information for each one that Lilo and Stitch discover and/or capture. In spite of becoming a humble hero, Jumba still strives to keep his evil reputation, but ultimately fails in favor of his family. When an experiment is captured, Lilo and Stitch will take it to Jumba first and foremost. Most of the experiments recognize Jumba and refer to him as their father figure. On many occasions, before an experiment's reformation, the former would go after Jumba to prevent him from revealing the key to their defeat before he can tell Lilo and Stitch.

In the episode, " Ace ", it was revealed that Jumba is a member of the Evil Genius Organization (E.G.O.), which is an organization comprised of various evil scientists from across the galaxy. By the end of the episode, as a result of his apparent reformation, Jumba was discharged from the organization.

The episode " The Asteroid " revealed that Jumba suffered from homesickness, and was willing to abandon an endangered Earth if it meant returning to his home planet. However, his attitude shifted upon realizing his desire to stay with Lilo and Stitch.

Also in the series, Jumba and Pleakley even encountered other Disney characters during their adventures such as Penny Proud and Kim Possible . Jumba even mistook Rufus for one of his missing experiments, Experiment 607.

Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch

Jumba in Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch .

Jumba reappears in this off-shoot sequel. Before either of them ever met Lilo, Jumba was putting the finishing touches on Stitch (known as Experiment 626 then), but before the doctor could release him, 626's molecules had to be charged. While Experiment 626 was charging, intergalactic police officers intruded into the lab and arrested Jumba, leaving 626 incomplete.

Finally, those past events catch up to Stitch and the consequences begin to unfold. During a family night, he notices that Stitch has a glitch which causes him to lose control, and gets worried about him, realizing what was wrong in him. In order to save him, he must build a fusion chamber to recharge him before his molecules are out of power, or else he will die.

Due to the lack of technology, Jumba and Pleakley are forced to use domestic appliances, and when it was finally "finished", it exploded and Jumba, losing hope, revealed to Pleakley that it was just an order from a catalog. He believes he cannot actually make the machine on his own, but is given the will to try after encouragement from Pleakley. When he finally manages to built it properly, he discovers that Stitch is gone, and goes out with the others to find him.

In the end, after the fusion chamber failed to recharge Stitch, Jumba is clearly devastated about his "death", tightly holding him in his arms, but Lilo miraculously managed to resuscitate Stitch when she took him into her arms, crying because of her deep love for Stitch as part of her family; Jumba gained Lilo's gratitude and love by showing a deep, loving concern for Stitch. It appears that his attempt to recharge Stitch had succeeded after all.

The Origin of Stitch

When Stitch is playing soccer, his ball lands inside Jumba's ship , where he discovers the ship's laboratory, and the ship's computer scans and identifies Stitch as Experiment 626. After showing a list of experiments and their components used to create Stitch, Jumba enters the ship's lab and offers Stitch a choice between milk and cookies. After Jumba detects that Stitch is curious about his origins, Jumba reveals that he pursued some of the most horrible and fearsome beasts to create the ultimate monster unlike any he had ever created before. Jumba then goes on to say that the creation of Stitch didn't turn out exactly as he had planned, because Stitch discovered a family in Lilo, Nani, David, Jumba, and Pleakley when he landed in Kauai. Jumba then says that of all the experiments he had ever created, Stitch is his greatest success and that he is very proud of him.

Leroy & Stitch

Jumba in Leroy & Stitch .

Three years after Jumba's experiments were scattered across Kauai, Hawaii , Lilo and Stitch had rounded up and reformed 624 experiments. Jumba was given the opportunity to return to his old laboratory by the Grand Councilwoman. At first, he did not want to hurt Lilo's feelings by leaving, but she agreed to let him go, giving him an Elvis record to remember her by. However, Hämsterviel escaped from prison with the help of the former Captain Gantu, who had been retired from his position forcibly by the Grand Councilwoman three years prior to these events and held Jumba hostage in his own lab, forcing him to create a new experiment, which ends up being named Leroy . However, Jumba used the record Lilo gave him to program a shut-off switch for Leroy: if he hears the song " Aloha ʻOe ", he will glitch and switch off (but will not die like Stitch would have as shown at the end of Stitch Has a Glitch ). When asked what he would like as a reward, he decides to give up his laboratory and return to Earth to become part of Lilo's family once again.

Stitch! anime

In the anime series, Jumba was given a mission by the Grand Councilwoman to watch over Stitch as he recently began a destructive rampage after Lilo grew up, went off to college, and found a boyfriend. Jumba eventually lost Stitch, but quickly reunited with him in a small island known as Izayoi. When he arrived, he met Stitch's newest friend Yuna and learns about Stitch's latest goal to do good deeds and obtain ultimate power. Jumba agrees to assist Stitch and stays on the island.

Stitch & Ai

Sometime after being taken into custody by Federation forces shortly before the first film, the computers at Jumba's labs were hacked by space pirates hoping to re-create Experiment 626. When these attempts failed, they decided to kidnap Stitch. While in pursuit of the pirates, but unaware of Stitch's escape, Jumba and Pleakley are taken before the Grand Councilwoman who explains the situation and again assigns them to take Stitch back into protective custody and keep him out of space pirates' hands. After seeing that Stitch has found a new family in China, Jumba decides to stay and assist in combating the pirates.

Disney's stitch: experiment 626.

Jumba plays a prominent role in Experiment 626 , where the goal is to help Jumba create new experiments and fuel teleporting machines that allow 626 to move between worlds.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

While serving time for illegal genetic experimentation in a cell within the Turo Prison Block, Jumba witnesses Terra fight off several Unversed. He persuades the Keyblade wielder to release him so that the two may rescue a "constructive" creature of his own creation called "Experiment 626." Terra agrees and the two set off to find 626 together. When they finally find the small extraterrestrial encased in a pod within the Confinement Room, Jumba sets him free and reveals that he is meant to be an evil and malevolent creature whose only instinct is to destroy everything he touches. 626 then rushes at Terra and steals his Wayfinder , the Keyblade wielder ordering him to return it because his "friend" gave it to him. Jumba later laughs off the idea that 626 could understand the concept of friendship, but he is greatly surprised when his creation drops the Wayfinder and scuttles off. Jumba finds Terra's theory that 626 isn't evil at all and merely craves friends impossible, and he gives him another demonstration of his "evil geniusness" by activating Experiment 221 for the Keyblade wielder to battle. Terra is victorious and he and Jumba notice 626's return to the Confinement Room after 221 returns to pod form. Jumba watches Terra try to explain friendship to 626, but he angrily interferes with Terra's discussion, as things such as friendship would corrupt his creation's original purpose. He tells 626 that he needs to be fixed, but alarms begin to sound and an announcement is made that 626 and two prisoners have escaped. Terra flees Deep Space, leaving Jumba and 626 behind.

Aqua is the next to visit Deep Space, where she is taken by Captain Gantu before the Grand Councilwoman after destroying several Unversed. The Grand Councilwoman tells Aqua that the Unversed are getting in the way of the apprehension of Jumba and Experiment 626, and she asks the Keyblade wielder to destroy them and also make an attempt to capture Jumba and his experiment intact. Aqua agrees to do the task as asked and departs, much to Gantu's displeasure now that his duties have been assigned to a stranger. The Keyblade Master eventually finds the fugitives on the Launch Deck, where Jumba is attempting to recapture 626 so that he may fix him. Aqua stops Jumba and 626 and announces that she has been authorized to arrest them. When 626 charges at her to reclaim the Wayfinder he had previously made and left behind in the Turo Prison Block, Jumba explains to Aqua that the reason his creation is familiar with the shape of the Wayfinder and its purpose is of his previous encounter with Terra. Jumba then goes on to complain to Aqua about the negative impact Terra has had on 626, but Gantu soon appears and attempts to put an end to both Jumba and his supposedly evil creation. Aqua teams up with 626 to battle Gantu and, upon their victory, the Grand Councilwoman arrives to apprehend the two fugitives.

Jumba makes occasional appearances at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea , often in various shows and parades. Like many of the walk-around versions of the supporting characters of the Lilo & Stitch franchise though, he hasn't really been used elsewhere, as the film and television series are some of the most popular Disney media in Japan. 

Disneyland Paris

Jumba made appearances at Stitch's Hawaiian Paradise Party in Disney Village.

• Since Jumba is the creator of Stitch and the other experiments, he is often cited as their father.
• Jumba's mass changed throughout the franchise . For example, at the beginning of the original movie , he was obese, and at the end of the film, he was slender.
• He appeared in a limited amount of Disney Villains related material prior to the original movie's release.
• Jumba appears, along with several other Lilo & Stitch characters, in a parody of the Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical , which was broadcast as part of the High School Musical: Around the World one-year anniversary special.
• Jumba enjoys hearing Elvis Presley 's song " Hound Dog " when the phonograph record starts playing in the original movie.
• Prior to creating Experiment 177 ( Clip ), Jumba had long, flowing locks of curly black hair. Since then, he has been bald with the exception of three long hairs which grow from the top of his head. He managed to get a full Afro of hair but later decided to go back to being bald, finding it more suitable for himself.
• Jumba likes to dance, and he is not afraid to bust a move every now and then.
• Jumba has a habit of referring to himself in the third person . This habit was probably passed down to Stitch, since he has a tendency to refer to himself in third person as well.
• During early development of the film, Stitch was conceived as an intergalactic gangster with a gang of three rather than a recently-created genetic monster. In that early version, Jumba was a former fourth member of Stitch's gang who was left behind during a bank heist and had been stewing in prison for years. Upon Stitch's escape, the Grand Councilwoman would then make the deal to release Jumba if he would go to Earth to capture his former boss.
• To be specific, the scene where Jumba attacks Stitch which results in the Pelekai residence accidentally being burned down was actually going to have more violent scenes like Stitch using a chainsaw to attack Jumba, as well as Stitch setting the house on fire by biting apart a gas pipe and tricking Jumba into shooting it with his blaster . The final version of the same scene has everything violent edited out and replaced in favor of making the scene more slapstick-oriented (Jumba knocking the ceiling down with dishes instead of laser blasts, Jumba's "shuriken" being made of hairbrushes and a tube of toothpaste instead of knives and a pizza cutter, and the entire chainsaw scene shortened), having more comedic scenes added in (exploding Scrump , Stitch catching Jumba's laser, Stitch yelling, "Blue Punch Buggy! No punch back!" when hitting Jumba with Nani's VW, the Elvis Presley song "Hound Dog" playing in the background), and the house being destroyed by having Stitch stop up Jumba's blaster with a carrot and then having them both play " hot potato " with it until the blaster overloads and explodes.
• A similar treatment was done to the climax , where Jumba, Pleakley, Stitch, and Nani fly through the sky to pursue Gantu after he accidentally captures Lilo as a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11 , 2001 .
• The alien species and even the spaceships in Lilo & Stitch were inspired by Hawaiian wildlife and marine creatures as well. In Jumba's case, he seems to be inspired by sea lions and their relatives.
• Also in Lilo & Stitch , when Jumba attacks Stitch on the ceiling using plates like shurikens in that film's climax, he claims that he wants to reprogram Stitch to be "taller" and "not so fluffy", hence foreshadowing the creations of both Experiment 627 and 629/Leroy in Lilo & Stitch: The Series and Leroy & Stitch , respectively; coincidentally, both of them are improved versions of Stitch that are more evil and destructive and less fluffy than Stitch himself.
• In Stitch! The Movie and certain episodes of Lilo & Stitch: The Series , it is revealed that Jumba's bare feet exactly resemble Gantu 's.
• In " Spooky ", Jumba's worst fear is his ex-wife.
• Jumba states in " The Asteroid " that he finds chewing food rather annoying because on his home planet, nutrients are absorbed through the skin. However, at the end of the same episode, he admits that he enjoys pizza, and in " Holio ", he mentions that he likes eating pastrami.
• We learn in "The Asteroid" that Jumba had been banished from his home planet for evil genius research, but in " Sinker ", he mentions about having given presents to his evil genius family back home (hinting that he may come from a family of evil geniuses), implying while he cannot go back to his home planet, he is allowed to send gifts there.
• Jumba was David Ogden Stiers ' last character in the Disney Animated Canon , 16 years before his death in 2018 .

List of 6-Series and unnumbered experiments

• X-600: Woops — A purple, skinny, Stitch-like experiment with huge yellow buckteeth, a football -shaped head with three short white-tipped antennae and a short white-tipped tail. He is designed to be indestructible and able to do anything. He has all the powers of Stitch, but is a total klutz who accidentally bumps into everything. The only word he says is "Woops!" His pod is blue. His one true place is being a valued member of Pleakley's bowling team, since the one thing he can actually do is knock things over, including bowling pins. He is the first prototype of Stitch and is considered a failure due to his extreme clumsiness. He is voiced by Rob Paulsen . ( Appearances: "Woops", Leroy & Stitch )
• X-601: Kixx — See folder below
• X-602: Sinker — See folder below
• X-603: Zap — A bright yellow living laser beam-like experiment with lightning-shaped antennae, dark blue eyes, and a small limbless vaguely dog-like body. He was caught by Gantu with the help of Experiment 627 in "627", but was later rescued in "Snafu". ( Appearances: "627", "Snafu", Leroy & Stitch , Stitch! , Disney Sorcerer's Arena )
• X-604: Houdini — See folder below
• X-605: Warpstron
• X-606: Holio — See folder below
• X-607: Launch — A tan naked mole-rat-like experiment with four spines on its back. It is designed to warp the fabric of time and space, causing the entire universe to collapse upon itself. This experiment itself never actually appeared in The Series , but it was the blue pod on the sandcastle in "627". Rufus the naked mole-rat was mistaken for this experiment in the Kim Possible crossover episode named after him until Stitch identified him as not being one of the "cousins". This experiment may have briefly appeared in the Japanese intro sequence (and international end credits) of the Stitch! anime's second season, ~The Mischievous Alien's Great Adventure~ , when Stitch accidentally brings down the walls of the enclosed venue he was performing a rock concert in after fighting 627; a pink creature with a reddish-pink nose and large front teeth that stick out much like a naked mole rat's teeth can be partially seen behind Thresher, looking up at the collapsing walls.
• X-608: Slugger — A small, yellow pterosaur-like experiment who is designed to deflect projectiles with his tail shaped like a baseball bat . His pod is blue. His one true place is as a Little League Baseball coaching assistant. ( Appearances: "Slugger", "Glitch", Leroy & Stitch , Stitch! , Lilo & Stitch 2: Hämsterviel Havoc , Disney Stitch Jam note  Non-playable character )
• X-609: Heat — A small, red-orange vaguely dog-like experiment with small eyes, a big mouth, small drooping ears, and a large shiny black oval embedded in his forehead. He is designed to fire rays of flaming heat from the blowtorch-like feature on his forehead. He was found (in pod form), activated, named, and trained by Gantu. This experiment was sent to Dr. Hämsterviel, but was rescued by Lilo and Stitch in "Snafu". ( Appearances: "Dupe", "Remmy", "Snafu", Leroy & Stitch , Stitch! )
• X-610: Witch — A small, purple bat/ghost-like experiment. The back of her head is shaped like a cone and curved at the bottom to resemble a witch hat, and her ears resemble small bat wings. Her eyes are blue and she has eyelashes. Her stomach is light purple and her chest has a yellow heart. Her witch-like hat head has a pattern of purple and then light purple stripes. She was designed to have many supernatural abilities. These include the abilities of a ghost and being able to possess others in order to turn them into evil witches too. Once possessed, the victim is under Witch's complete control and also has her variety of abilities such as animation, spontaneous generation, levitation, demonic transformation, and other forms of reality-bending abilities. Her pod is green. She is voiced by Susanne Blakeslee . ( Appearance: Stitch! )
• X-611: El Fin (a.k.a. Doomsday) — An experiment designed to make the universe implode when Jumba speaks the password. Fortunately, Jumba forgot the password. Called the "ultimate super weapon", Gantu thought that he had X-611's blue pod in "Houdini" but he was actually reading X-119's pod upside down. His original name was Doomsday, but this was changed due to a copyright issue.
• X-612: Blandzilla
• X-613: Yaarp — See folder below
• X-614: Gunner — This experiment's blue pod was seen in the experiment profiler special feature on the Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch DVD. Its function is unknown.
• X-615: Yogee
• X-616: Joey
• X-617: Plasmoid — A large green scorpion-like experiment with a pincer-less tail. He is designed to shoot explosive balls of plasma from his tail . Plasmoid was found (in pod form), activated, named, and trained by Gantu. This experiment was sent to Dr. Hämsterviel, but was rescued in "Snafu". ( Appearances: "Dupe", "Snafu", Leroy & Stitch , Stitch! , Disney Tsum Tsum note  Was originally a non-playable event character and later cameos in Gantu's ability )
• X-618: Crystallene
• X-619: Splodyhead — See folder below
• X-620: Page
• X-621: Chopsuey — See folder below
• X-622: Jumby
• X-623: Trainer
• X-624: Angel — See folder below
• X-625: Reuben — See folder below
• X-626: Stitch — See the franchise's title characters' page
• X-627 — See folder below
• X-628 — Created around the same time as 627, it was seen only as a blue pod at the end of "627" as Jumba locked it away in a vault, saying, "So much for Experiment 627. Perhaps I will have better luck next time." This experiment never physically appeared in the franchise, nor was it mentioned ever again after "627".
• X-629: Leroy — See folder below
• Skunkuna — A black and white skunk-like experiment with a beak, three antennae on his head and two antennae on his tail. According to the English dub of the Stitch! anime, he was made by Dr. Hämsterviel instead of Jumba, and thus is not part of Jumba's numbering system. He is able to shoot explosive pellets that release an unbearable stench upon impact. He falls in love with Mr. Stenchy, who has a similar stench-releasing ability. When the stenches of Skunkuna and Mr. Stenchy combine, they form a perfect aroma. Many fans assumed that the experiment is actually Experiment 126/Stank and the English dub completely changed his identity, but Jess Winfield has stated that the Japanese original did name the experiment "Skunkuna" as it was written on the translated scripts the English dubbing team received for the episode's "re-versioning". ( Appearance: Stitch! )

Notable 6-Series experiments

• Adaptational Villainy : He's one of the experiments that Hämsterviel has control over in the anime, although his cameo in Stitch and the Planet of Sand implies that he's become good again.

• Expy : See the above description.
• Hair-Trigger Temper : Before he’s reformed, it doesn't take much to get him violent.

• Aliens Speaking English : He verbally speaks in the anime.
• Flipping Helpless : In the anime , Sinker (602) has a blind spot on his large fin that makes him immobile on land if he falls over to his side.
• Height Angst : He scowls when Stitch laughs at him for being small.
• Mundane Utility : He gets a job at a sushi restaurant cutting food. Also, at the end of the anime episode "Stitch Ahoy!", he uses his fin to cut Slushy's ice balls into shave ice.
• Suddenly Voiced : He was silent in The Series , but is able to speak in the anime, possibly due to Hämsterviel's transmutation.
• Super Not-Drowning Skills : He can't actually breathe underwater, but he can stay under there for a long time.
• Threatening Shark : Resembles a shark. He has a big shark-like dorsal fin that can cut things in half.
• Weaksauce Weakness : In the anime, it's shown that if he's forced into a horizontal position, he'll become immobile due to his large dorsal fin.

• Bunnies for Cuteness : He looks like a rabbit, has big cute eyes, and is very timid.
• Invisibility : He can turn things invisible by blinking, including himself.
• Lovable Coward : He is a cute bunny-like experiment who cowers and trembles at everything.
• Named After Someone Famous : Named after Harry Houdini , a famous magician.
• Power Incontinence : If his eyes are irritated by flashing lights, he'll blink rapidly and turn many things invisible by accident.
• Shrinking Violet : He is very shy and turns invisible whenever he is scared.

• Gonk : He has a wide yet flat-looking head compared to the other experiments.
• Gravity Sucks : He can turn into a black hole, sucking up everything in its vicinity.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference : In his debut episode, he had no tail. In "Checkers", he had the typical stumpy tail seen on several experiments.
• Extreme Omnivore : He can eat anything using his black hole.
• Mundane Utility : Now he uses his ability to clean up litter and debris.
• Sequel Non-Entity : He does not appear in the Stitch! anime.
• Unrealistic Black Hole : He can summon black holes at any time even when he's not in space. Also, they're not quite as powerful as actual black holes, and anything that goes into his black holes does not undergo spaghettification and can be retrieved.
• Vacuum Mouth : His main function is to suck things into his mouth, even after redemption where he cleans up debris.
• Volumetric Mouth : He can turn his mouth into a black hole and inhale anything like a vacuum cleaner.

• Bizarre Alien Biology : His horn is of the sound-producing definition and is able to curl up when not in use.
• Bizarre Alien Locomotion : Cuter than most examples of this trope, he goes around by bouncing on his tail like Tigger .
• Blue Is Heroic : He is turquoise and his one true place is a warning alarm at Lilo's halau.
• Cute, but Cacophonic : He's small, blue, and fuzzy, but makes extremely loud noises from the horn on his head.

• Gale-Force Sound : He can make sounds so loud that they knock people off their feet.
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous : Subverted ; he has four seemingly non-retractable arms but they're not what makes him dangerous.
• Super-Scream : His power is to emit deafeningly loud noises through the horn-like appendage on his head.
• Series Continuity Error : He accidentally appeared in the episode before his debut, already reformed. He also appeared in the E.A.R.W.A.X. fight in "Spike" despite not being part of the group, as he's only meant to appear in the trivia competition in the same episode.

• Bioweapon Beast : Like most of the 6-series, but particularly noticeable in his case due to being based on a specific weapon (a Plasma Cannon ).
• The Cameo : In Big Hero 6 , his image appears on a pillow in Fred's bedroom, making him the first of Stitch's cousins to appear in the Disney Animated Canon in some form.
• Elemental Rivalry : Had one with Slushy (523) , Splody's opposite in elemental power, where they had an epic fight against one another in Slushy's episode. They also started the fight during Pleakley's E.A.R.W.A.X. session in "Spike" when Slushy threw a snowball at Splody, who returned fire only for Slushy to bat it away and break out Spike in the process. They eventually resolved their issues with one another after seeing Pleakley successfully use hugging therapy on Spike, leading the elemental opposites to hug each other.
• Evil Smells Bad : In the anime, his ability was modified by Hämsterviel to fire purple balls of a terrible odor . Said modified ability would be reversed so he would expel a more pleasant smell.
• Inconsistent Coloring : Splody's pod is blue in his debut episode, but red in the anime.
• Plasma Cannon : He is a living one, although the plasma he fires look like fireballs, not the green blobs we see throughout the franchise.
• Playing with Fire : His main ability, although it's actually hot plasma that he fires.
• Series Continuity Error : Jumba mistakenly referred to Splodyhead as Experiment 515 in "Slushy"; 515 is the number of Deforestator.
• Your Size May Vary : His size has been somewhat inconsistent in his appearances, most notably in "Spike" when in one scene, he appeared a lot bigger due to a layering error.

• Aliens Speaking English : He speaks fluent English with a very nasal voice like Stitch.
• Evil Laugh : He randomly bursts into maniacal laughter.
• Green and Mean : He has green fur, he's one of the main antagonists and bosses of the Stitch: Experiment 626 video game.
• Green-Eyed Monster : He was very jealous of 626 and tried to prove himself to be the superior experiment over the younger experiment. It didn't work.
• Flawed Prototype : Has Stitch's powers and abilities, but he's not as capable as him.
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous : Has four arms, but they don't seem to be retractable.
• No Name Given : In his only appearance as it was a prequel to the events of the original film. He was named by the time of Leroy & Stitch , however.
• One-Shot Character : Only appeared in a Spin-Off prequel video game that was removed from canon after a sequel film came out.
• One-Winged Angel : After his mutation, getting a stretched-out face with bulging bugged-out eyes, a wide chest with an even skinnier waist, longer arms with narrow upper arms and very thick forearms, longer legs with skinny thighs and thick lower legs, and longer spines (doubled from three to six), claws, and toes.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy : He seeks his creator's approval despite Jumba being disappointed with his results.

• Action Girl : She isn't as limited in capabilities as most of her predecessors. She knows how to fight, as seen when she busted herself, Stitch, and others out in "Snafu", and when she quickly took down four Leroy clones to protect Stitch in Leroy & Stitch .
• Adaptational Jerkass : She became more short-tempered in the anime, getting angry at Stitch for petty reasons.
• Affectionate Nickname : She and Stitch refer to each other as their "boojiboo", which is a term of endearment meaning "beloved" or "loved one" in their native Tantalog language . Reuben, who was more attracted by her looks, called her "Hotcakes".
• Alien Hair : Her antennae vaguely resemble long human hair. She can use them like tendrils in lieu of a second pair of arms, but the only time they do something was in her debut episode where she uses one to push an out-of-reach button .
• Aliens Speaking English : Not in The Series , as she spoke just two non-Tantalog words in "Snafu", but by the time of the anime she's become a pretty proficient English speaker, though she still speaks Tantalog most of the time. Justified considering that she probably needed to learn English in order to have her singing appeal to humans. This is also averted in Disney Speedstorm where Tara Strong reprises her role.
• Ascended Extra : As explained below, she went from intended One-Shot Monster of the Week to becoming one of the most prominent characters of the franchise.
• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn : The Beauty of the main trio of experiments (which includes Angel, Reuben, and Stitch). She is the most attractive, the best singer, note  Reuben can carry a tune and his original voice actor does sing, though Tara Strong and Kate Higgins are professional singers. And does anyone really want to hear the extremely nasal Stitch (who is voiced by a filmmaker and illustrator with no real singing ability) sing? and the only female of the three. That said, she has shown some of the other two parts of this trope in The Series and Leroy & Stitch .
• Becoming the Mask : First pretended to love Stitch and be his new girlfriend, but his sheer kindness and siren song immunity caused her to actually fall in love with him and become his girlfriend.
• Breakout Character : She was in only two episodes of The Series , note  three if you count her appearance in a dream in "Remmy", one of them being the show's last regular episode , and in Leroy & Stitch she was only in the final battle against the Leroys and in the big family photo at the end. She was also not meant to appear ever again after her debut episode . Despite this, she is the most popular experiment besides Stitch himself that the franchise ever introduced. The anime featured her much more often, she has made several appearances in Disney's crossover video games including Disney Magic Kingdoms and Disney Speedstorm , and she nowadays gets more merchandise than Lilo.
• The Cameo : And to also continue from the above trope, she even appears as a plush toy in the third episode of Monsters at Work .
• Cute Monster Girl : Not that the other experiments aren't cute themselves , but her Stitch-like body has a few humanlike traits and we see very few females.
• Character Development : She originally acted sweet to Stitch simply to sell him out to Hämsterviel, but later does have true affection for him.
• Damsel out of Distress : She breaks out of her own containment capsule after Stitch gets himself captured and he confesses his love to her.
• Defecting for Love : Thanks to Stitch being the first experiment to treat her kindly (helped by the fact that he's immune to her siren song), she ended up feeling guilty for her manipulation of him. As a result, she turned on Gantu and Hämsterviel by reverting the experiments back to good just before the cousins could beat up a weakened and reluctant-to-fight-back Stitch. Unfortunately, this decision did lead to her capture by Gantu at the end of her episode.
• Distaff Counterpart : To Stitch. The only real differences between them are her color, her long antennae, and her markings, especially the white V-shaped chest marking that (fittingly) resembles angel wings and the back marking that ( normally ) looks like an upside-down heart.
• Dude Magnet : She utilizes this to attract reformed experiments so she can revert them with her singing.
• Evil Diva : Her song itself has evil repercussions. Also, yes, she is a diva; the anime shows quite well how her international and intergalactic fame has affected her.
• Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon : At first as she pretended to be sweet to take advantage of Stitch, but she drops the "demon" side later. This is also the basis for her name since Lilo named her in sarcasm (see Shout-Out below).
• Flanderization : Angel actually did have a small bit of a diva personality in The Series , but the anime made it a defining aspect of her character.
• Flat Character : The Series ' s version of Angel didn't have much of a defined personality other than being a pretty girl version of Stitch with a siren song who was initially antagonistic. Stitch! gave her a job that fits her abilities and the character flaws to go along with it.
• Hair Substitute Feature : She has two long antennae that resemble human hair.
• Heel–Face Revolving Door : While not exhibited by her herself, this is the basis of her primary function, able to invoke a Face–Heel Turn in any experiment made before her (and Jumba) with a song, and can invoke a Heel–Face Turn in the same by singing it backward .
• Heel–Face Turn : Used to work for Hämsterviel, but changed sides after realizing her feelings for Stitch.
• Heroic Sacrifice : In her debut, although technically Gantu captured her moments after the experiments were freed and he has to blast Stitch in a net while their guard was down. She was later rescued.
• Kissing Cousins : Although she's not actually directly related to Stitch beyond their similar appearances and sharing the same creator, since they are artificial lifeforms with their own unique DNA mixtures, and the "cousins" thing with the experiments are based on Hawaiian slang where it's used to refer to friends , not necessarily relatives. Still, they are in love, though tellingly, Stitch never calls or considers Angel a "cousin" to get around this problem.
• Iconic Sequel Character : The most famous of Stitch's predecessors, but it took a long while to achieve this status. She didn't appear at all in the 2002 original film, was only hinted at through a mini-poster and a bonus feature included with 2003's Stitch! The Movie , officially debuted in the thirtieth aired episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series in January 2004, did not make her only other major appearance in the show until the penultimate aired episode in June 2006, finally became a recurring regular in the Stitch! anime that debuted in 2008 (whose English dub first aired in 2009), and eventually gained a steady stream of merchandise sold worldwide (including the United States, where the anime that she appears most frequently in had only a brief run) from The New '10s onward. She even makes video game appearances years after her debut.
• Her fur was a deeper shade of pink in her debut episode compared to her official artwork and all her later appearances.
• Her appearances in Gameloft 's Disney games, including Disney Magic Kingdoms and Disney Speedstorm , color both sides of the tips of her ears purple rather than only the insides of the ear tips.
• Ironic Nickname : At first since Lilo gave 624 her name in sarcasm, although Stitch believed her name to be completely unironic before she actually reformed.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold : She may be a bit selfish and snobbish, but she cares for Stitch greatly.
• Love at First Sight : Subverted at first; she caused this to Stitch but didn't truly have feelings for him until a day later.
• Love Redeems : How she was reformed instead of Defeat Means Friendship . She realizes that she does have feelings for the dedicated, sweet-hearted Stitch, and decides to defy Gantu and Hämsterviel to save him.
• Magic Music : Not quite magic, since this comes from an artificial alien lifeform and is known to work on only similar artificial alien lifeforms made before her (as well as her creator), but hearing a song like hers normally won't affect one's morality so suddenly.
• Manipulative Editing : Due to her being reformed, Reuben had to trick her into singing to him (he and Stitch are the only experiments unaffected by her singing) so that he could record her voice and play it backward, turning the experiments tamed by Lilo evil again. Experiment 120 (Snafu) would ruin these plans sometime later.
• Mascot : The de facto one of the experiments other than Stitch, considering she's usually the only one of the first 625 that Disney is willing to promote.
• Messy Male, Fancy Female : The Fancy Female to Stitch's Messy Male. Stitch has spiked tufts of fur on his head and chest, while Angel's fur is smooth, with a white V-shaped marking on her chest. In addition, Stitch has notches in his slightly pointed ears and his retractable antennae are short with budded tips, while Angel's slightly rounder ears lack notches and her non-retractable antennae are long, curved, and smooth with rounded tips.
• Morality Pet : She quickly establishes herself as the second one of these for Stitch (Lilo's the first, obviously) in her debut. He behaves a lot more politely whenever she's around him.
• In her eponymous debut episode when Stitch is captured by the experiments she turned to evil.
• Also in her first anime episode ("Angel's Flight") when she accidentally made Stitch evil again, eventually leading to him breaking the wind chime Yuna made for her grandmother, causing the human girl to snap at Angel for all the problems she caused during her visit.
• No-Sell : Her siren song can turn any experiment evil, but if that experiment is created after her, they will be completely unaffected by it, though they may still compliment her beautiful singing nonetheless. However, the anime shows that it's (apparently) actually possible to convert experiments made after her to evil if it's performed with a different voice; when she got a head cold in the episode, her singing voice became croaky as she was singing her song repeatedly to entertain herself and Stitch on their date. The worse-performed but still-in-tune song affected Stitch and turned him to evil again.
• Now Do It Again, Backwards : Singing or playing her siren song in reverse around her affected victims turns them good again.
• Our Sirens Are Different : An alien genetic experiment siren who seduces other alien experiments made before her, singing her siren song to turn them to evil . Acoota chi-meeto igatta no mootah, nagga to nala itume tidooka Translation Heed me, you are in my power. Henceforth, nothing shall be too cruel or too abominable for you. You cannot escape.
• Pink Girl, Blue Boy : With Stitch given their fur colors.
• Pink Means Feminine : She has pink fur and is girly, especially in Stitch! .
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse : Well, not to the extent of her boyfriend as far as we know, but she is strong enough to break open containment capsules with only a headbutt . She's also strong enough to knock Stitch out with a headbutt.
• Retractable Appendages : Does not seem to have these (her antennae are always exposed and she is too thin at the waist to have the extra arms), but she does have retractable claws. (Pay close attention to her first scene in her debut when she threatens Lilo.)
• Satellite Love Interest : To an extent in that the main reason she was introduced was to give Stitch a love interest. The anime sanded down the "Satellite" part by giving her more of a personality.
• Sequel Non-Entity : Despite that her popularity allowed her to gain more appearances in the anime, this did not follow through with Stitch & Ai .
• Shout-Out : Her name is most likely a reference to the subject of Elvis Presley 's "(You're the) Devil in Disguise", especially since Lilo named her "Angel" as sarcasm.
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man : Although she did not intend to fall in love with him, Stitch's kindness is what won her over, although he is immune to her siren song. Compare to how she primarily acts around Reuben who behaves more like a sleazeball around her.
• Suddenly Speaking : In the anime. In the original series, she only speaks Stitch's alien language, but she speaks English in the anime, albeit not as much as more fluent Stitch in that show.
• Tertiary Sexual Characteristics : She looks like a version of Stitch with a very high-pitched voice, pink fur, long eyelashes, an hourglass figure, a heart-shaped marking on her back, and long antennae that look like hair.
• Took a Level in Jerkass : In the anime where she gains the personality of a vain, spoiled celebrity (due to becoming a popular singer in the years since Leroy & Stitch ) and gets charmed by someone else at least three times (even though she always came back to him).
• The Unintelligible : In the original series she only speaks in Tantalog and never speaks English once.
• Use Your Head : Angel has a surprisingly strong headbutt for someone who was only made to be a siren. In the The Series episode "Snafu", she headbutts her capsule to shatter it open, then headbutts Stitch's capsule to free him, and then both do so to free Lilo and the other trapped experiments from their capsules . In the Stitch! anime episode "Angel's Flight", she headbutts Stitch after she accidentally made him evil again when she, coming down with an awful head cold, sang her song beside him with a croaky voice to knock him out cold and end his sudden rampage .

• Adaptation Dye-Job : He's teal-colored in Comic Zone: Lilo & Stitch but was changed to golden-colored for the films and TV series to better differentiate him from Stitch.
• Affably Evil : For an experiment designed to cause massive destruction (and one of Hämsterviel's employees), he's surprisingly laid-back and easygoing.
• Aliens Speaking English : Unlike his cousin Stitch, he's perfectly fluent in English, speaking it with a Brooklyn accent . This is one of the very few advantages he has over his younger cousin, although the anime's English dub puts them on near-equal ground in English fluency. He is also implied to know several other Earth-based languages. It's justified in that he has "advanced language programming", though it's never explained why he has such programming and Stitch doesn't .
• Appropriated Appellation : After a few attempts he wasn't proud of, he takes to Lilo's last name suggestion, Reuben.
• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn : The Brains of the main trio of experiments (which includes Angel, Reuben, and Stitch). Although he has the exact same strength as Stitch, his laziness negates the Brawn aspect, and he isn't as "cute" or attractive as the more popular Stitch or Angel (not to say that he isn't cute, though). But he's easily the Brains considering he's more fluent in English than Stitch and Angel (both of whom do not speak English as fluently), makes tons of snarky quips, knows a lot about the experiments before his time, and is able to use Awesomeness by Analysis the most effectively. note  Stitch has the same supercomputer levels of thinking, but he is quicker to make brash decisions and is more temperamental.
• Because You Were Nice to Me : Lilo wins him over by naming him and actually befriending him.
• Big Eater : Mostly of sandwiches, and he's not picky about what ingredients he puts in them.
• Bioweapon Beast : Like Stitch, he's a genetic experiment meant to be an ultimate superweapon. Unlike Stitch, he's too lazy to use his powers properly .
• Bookends : He is one of the first experiments to be reactivated since Stitch's creation (which happens in Stitch! The Movie ), but the very last one to be rehabilitated and named (which happens in Leroy & Stitch ).
• Brilliant, but Lazy : He has all of Stitch's abilities, including super-intelligence, but not the motivation. Some episodes do show how clever he really is, such as figuring out Experiment 627's Achilles' Heel just by noticing his heavy laughter .
• Bullying a Dragon : Often insults and otherwise antagonizes Gantu, who dwarfs him in size and is armed. Since 625 lacks the motivation to use his Stitch-like strength, he is thus often fried by a blaster or stomped on.
• Canon Immigrant : He originally appeared in a series of Disney Adventures Comic Zone Prequels to the first movie.
• Card-Carrying Villain : Unlike Gantu, who sees himself as the hero, Reuben calls himself and Gantu "the bad guys" in "Angel".
• Reuben stars in his own game, 625 Sandwich Stacker .
• He's also the deuteragonist of Leroy & Stitch , playing an important role in helping Lilo reunite with Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley.
• Stitch! gives him an third-season episode where he actually plays an active (for once) role of being a villain with "Reuben 2.0".
• Deadpan Snarker : One of his main functions. Gantu (injured from his fight with X-601/Kixx) : I will not be made a fool of! X-625/Reuben (immediately without even facing Gantu) : Too late.
• Deuteragonist : In Leroy & Stitch , where he gets his Heel–Face Turn thanks to Gantu abandoning him and Lilo giving him a name. He helps her out in rescuing Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley after they find out that the experiment they were talking to was not Stitch at all.
• Flawed Prototype : To Stitch. He has all the same powers and abilities as Stitch, but he's also extremely lazy and an incredible coward.
• Freudian Excuse : He claims in the Grand Finale that the only reason he worked against Lilo and Stitch is because Lilo never bothered to try to help or even name him. There is some justification here if you've read the prequel comics; Jumba considered 625 a failure and frequently disparaged him... except for his sandwiches.
• Friendly Enemy : Arguably towards Lilo and Stitch when he was one of their enemies in The Series , and had helped them out on occasions, although it's likely due to not caring to actually fight them.
• Heel–Face Turn : In Leroy & Stitch after Gantu sets out on a small, two-man ship to break Hämsterviel out of prison (the second spot being for Hämsterviel), and leaves Reuben stranded on Earth. Unfortunately, this does not stick in the anime, in which he's back working for Hämsterviel and is slightly more proactive than before.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners : With Gantu; even at the end of Leroy & Stitch , he reconciles with Gantu and finds his one true place as Gantu's first mate and galley cook.
• Iconic Sequel Character : Although dwarfed in popularity by his immediate successor and predecessor, he is one of the major characters of the franchise and the most often seen experiment in the canon besides Stitch himself.
• The Imp : He is just as powerful as Stitch, but he is never a real threat. He just spends most of his time making wisecracks (and sandwiches) and eating.
• Inconsistent Coloring : Reuben's pod is blue in Stitch! The Movie , although it appeared as purple in some frames of that film. In the anime episode "Stitch's Birthday, Part One", when Reuben was dehydrated, his pod is white.
• Informed Ability : A justified version: it has been stated that he has all the same powers as Stitch, but he is never seen using them because, from the start, Jumba explains that he's also a lazy coward. Finally ends in Leroy & Stitch , when Lilo finally convinces him to get off his lazy patookie and do something for himself.
• Irony : He was in his one true place all along: by Gantu's side.
• Late-Arrival Spoiler : His name, which he didn't get until the last film. The Stitch! anime and other official Disney media released since usually use "Reuben" instead of his experiment number, note  Oddly, however, a Lilo & Stitch: The Series -themed event in Disney Tsum Tsum did not refer to him as "Reuben", but rather as "Experiment 625" like in the show, despite Leroy appearing in the same event. and his costumed character also signs his autographs as "Reuben". note  The signature shown on Character Central (a Disney fan site about costumed characters) shows that Reuben's performer at the catered event where the photographer got the signature misspelled his name as "Rueben".
• Lazy Bum : He'll get around to helping Gantu in the field once he's done eating sandwiches and watching TV.
• The Load : He's only useful when it comes to sandwiches. Everything else? Yeah, no.
• Lovable Coward : He's absolutely useless as a sidekick, but he's still an adorable-looking experiment.
• Meaningful Name : He's named after a type of sandwich, the very food he loves. Also, since Reuben is behaviorally the most human-like experiment, his name is a more natural-sounding human given name, which he prefers over the sillier names Lilo gives the other experiments; 625 even rejected a few Punny Name suggestions from her before settling on "Reuben".
• Minion with an F in Evil : Or really, "Minion Who Can't Be Bothered to Do Any Evil". Although Sloth—which he excels at being— is one of the Seven Deadly Sins , he can't be bothered to help out Gantu or Hämsterviel unless he's either forced to or gets some benefit for doing so.
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous : Subverted ; he has the retractable lower arms like Stitch does but is no real threat to anyone because he just doesn't care to be threatening.
• Mundane Utility : He has extendable claws, but the first time we see them, he's using them like butter knives to spread some grape jelly on a sandwich.
• No Name Given : He had this status (regarding names other than his experiment number) until he was named "Reuben" in Leroy & Stitch , although he was called "Sandwich Boy" by Lilo once in the episode "627".
• Punch-Clock Villain : He works for the villains, but he's pretty blunt that he doesn't care about Hämsterviel's ambitions and is only around because he can't be bothered to do anything else. He eventually admits to Lilo he only stuck around with Gantu and Hämsterviel was because he didn't feel either side cared about him personally, and he apathetically decided to go with the flow.
• Redemption Promotion : Once he decides to stop being lazy and help Lilo, he actually proves himself to be quite useful much like his successor. He even manages to repair Gantu's ship, which Gantu himself was incapable of doing.
• Retractable Appendages : Revealed in Leroy & Stitch that he does have a lower pair of arms much like Stitch. Before that, an episode of The Series also reveals that he does have retractable claws.
• Sequel Non-Entity : Despite his regular appearances throughout the first two TV shows, he did not show up or was even mentioned in Stitch & Ai .
• Supreme Chef : Reuben loves making sandwiches and they prove to be very delicious. The problem is that he is obsessed with making them due to his programming from Jumba.
• Took a Level in Badass : In Leroy & Stitch after Lilo encourages him to use his powers to save the galaxy.
• Trademark Favorite Food : Sandwiches; he loves anything that can be placed between two slices of bread.
• Vitriolic Best Buds : With Gantu.
• Vocal Evolution : A minor case; in Stitch! The Movie , Rob Paulsen gave Reuben a sort of low, husky voice. In The Series , however, Paulsen pitched his Reuben voice up a little and made it a slight bit more nasal.
• You Are Number 6 : He remained number 625 through The Series up until Leroy & Stitch when he was given the name "Reuben" by Lilo.

    Stitch (Experiment 626)  Voiced by : Chris Sanders , Ben Diskin ( Stitch! , Stitch & Ai ) Voiced in Japanese by : Kōichi Yamadera Voiced in Mandarin Chinese for Stitch & Ai by : Li Zhengxiang Pod color : N/A; Stitch was never dehydrated into pod form.

A blue koala-like experiment who was designed to "destroy everything he touches", but ended up defying his programmed function after being adopted by Lilo Pelekai as her pet "dog". He is The Protagonist of the franchise.

See the characters sheet for the title characters for tropes and more information.

• Always Someone Better : He is the evolution of Stitch; greater strength, higher intelligence, fewer weaknesses, and more powers than ever before.
• Big Little Brother : Well, "cousin", but still 627 is taller and younger than Stitch.
• Black Eyes of Evil : Oh, yes. His eyes are black and can't become good in the slightest.
• The Bully : Really what his personality is in general. He could kill anything he pleases but doesn't because he finds torturing others more fun.
• Combo Platter Powers : He has the abilities of many other experiments, not just having improved versions of Stitch's powers.
• Evil Counterpart : To Stitch, being specifically made by Jumba to stay evil and not ever be reformed.
• Evil Laugh : Has a lower-pitched one in comparison to Stitch's.
• Ear Notch : One on each ear like Stitch, but they are symmetrical to one another near the tip.
• Evil Redhead : He has red fur and he is one of the few experiments who never become good.
• Evil Sounds Deep : Has a deeper, gravely sounding voice compared to Stitch. Ben Diskin further exaggerates this in the anime, except in 627's duke disguise.
• Forehead of Doom : He is designed to be even more powerful than Stitch and has a large cone-shaped head.
• For the Evulz : He loves demoralizing others, to the point that he will even ruin bad moments just because he can.
• Giggling Villain : He is rather easily amused for an evil experiment; Jumba even says that he has an extra sense of humor.
• Gone Horribly Right : Meant to have extra everything Stitch had. This includes an extra sense of humor, causing his laughter to inconvenience him .
• The Juggernaut : Good grief, when he gave Stitch —who's designed to be this very trope—a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown ...
• Heel–Face Turn : Jumba designed 627 to defy this trope , making it impossible to rehabilitate him. Doesn't stop him from sort of doing so in the anime.
• The Hyena : Laughs a lot with an extra sense of humor. Deconstructed as his laughter is also his Achilles' Heel ; he goes into cataplexy and will collapse if he laughs uncontrollably .
• Multiple Head Case : He has a retractable second head.
• My Brain Is Big : He has a large, cone-shaped head ( two, in fact ) to match with his higher intelligence.
• Nested Mouths : He can extend his jaws (with the tongue inside) out from his mouth.
• Nigh-Invulnerable : Most likely more so than Stitch, though his laughter undermines this.
• No Name Given : Since he could not be rehabilitated, Lilo never named him.
• Olympus Mons : The most powerful experiment that Jumba ever created.
• One-Shot Character : The only other appearances this experiment made in The Series was a cameo in Lilo's dream in "Remmy" (which is also the only time he is seen as "good") and the reuse of footage from his original appearance in "Ace" . He would appear again in the anime, but it too became a one-time appearance within that show, although he also appears in " Stitch Meets High School Musical " as well (again, seen as "good").
• One-Word Vocabulary : The only word he could say was "evil". He would gain a greatly expanded vocabulary in the anime.
• The Only One Allowed to Defeat You : In the anime, he tells Stitch this after saving his and Angel's lives .
• Retractable Appendages : Has more of these than Stitch; he can gain four extra arms instead of just two, four spines (compared to Stitch's three) and another head , with each head having its own retractable antennae.
• The Rival : To Stitch, at least in 627's only Western appearance, as the egotistical Stitch suddenly finds direct competition with this experiment in experiment hunting, only to find himself on the losing end. It took an unusual strategy for Stitch to exploit 627's weakness and defeat him.
• Smug Super : In his original appearance, he tortured Stitch with a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown rather than just killing him, just to prove that he is better in every way.
• Suddenly Speaking : In the anime, as Hämsterviel reprogrammed him to be able to speak. Quite eloquently, too.
• Superior Successor : Designed to be a better (albeit worse) Stitch, having improved versions of his powers, none of his weaknesses, and some of the other experiments' abilities.
• Superpower Lottery : Not only does he have improved versions of Stitch's powers, but he has a lot of powers that some other experiments have as well. And then some.
• Villain Respect : To Gantu in The Series , judging by how easily he tends to obey him. It could be that 627 was intrigued by Gantu's ambitions.
• Weaksauce Weakness : Laughter. He has a sense of humor so immature that when Stitch makes a fool of himself on purpose, he laughs so hard that he faints .
• Wicked Cultured : In his anime appearance, where he even gains a greater vocabulary.
• You Are Number 6 : He is the only activated experiment who retains his experiment number as a name. (Note that Experiment 628 was never activated.)

• Conservation of Ninjutsu : The original Leroy can defeat Stitch in a battle, but the army of clones are unable to defeat the rest of the experiments, despite outnumbering them 80 to 1.
• The Dragon : For Hämsterviel in Leroy & Stitch , usurping the role from Gantu.
• Evil Counterpart : To Stitch. Both are illegal genetic experiments created by Jumba. Stitch is the 626th experiment, while Leroy is the 629th experiment. They both were built for mayhem and destruction, and have the ability to do shape-shifting. Leroy represents what Stitch would have become if he never met Lilo and continued on the path of destruction.
• Evil Doppelgänger : Not only does he looks like a red Stitch, but he can also shapeshift somewhat to perfectly resemble him.
• Evil Redhead : He has red fur and like 627 he is one of the few experiments who never become good.
• Evil Twin : Disney Tsum Tsum and some official promotional descriptions for his film describe him as this towards Stitch, since they have identical powers and Leroy was made (from the same 626 template, no less) so that Hämsterviel would have his own version of Stitch. Thus, it could be that Leroy is Stitch's only actual brother.
• Fake Ultimate Mook : The clones despite looking intimidating, are extremely weak to the point of relying on a numerical superiority of 80 to 1 in order to defeat the other experiments.
• Final Boss : The last experiment and opponent Stitch faces in the original Western Animation era of the franchise.
• Flat Character : Being Stitch's Evil Counterpart is all there is to Leroy, as despite the fact that he is one of the main antagonists of Leroy & Stitch , he does not get any character development. You could almost take him out of the movie and replace him with Stitch clones since he doesn't contribute much despite sharing the title with Stitch.
• Flight, Strength, Heart : All of Stitch's powers, plus he can instantly regrow his fur and change colors.
• Good Colors, Evil Colors : He's a red, unreformed Stitch. Hämsterviel deliberately wanted Leroy colored red, because one, he hates the color blue, and two, he wanted an experiment that matches his red cape.
• Identical Twin ID Tag : After Hämsterviel creates a clone army of him, the original is told apart from them by the captain's uniform he took from Stitch.
• Ironic Name : Leroy's name means "King" or "The King" in French. His one weakness is "Aloha ʻOe", a song covered by Elvis Presley and programmed into him specifically through one of his records.
• Me's a Crowd : Mass-produced by Hämsterviel soon after his creation.
• Mooks : Leroy is a mass-produced version of Stitch.
• No Name Given : invoked This was Inverted until June 2020; he was named by Hämsterviel, but not numbered. Jumba tried to number him 627, but Gantu reminded him that he already made Experiment 627. Most fans gave Leroy the number 629, while some Japanese and Disneyland Paris merchandise give him the number 628, except that there was already an Experiment 628 made, too, but no one in the franchise knows that besides Jumba, who's likely also forgotten about 628. In 2018/2019, Disney Tsum Tsum reaffirmed the lack of a number in both the Japanese and Global versions for a Lilo & Stitch: The Series -based event. This flip-flopping of Leroy's experiment number in official Disney media finally ended in June 2020, when a side story of the Feudal Japan -set manga Stitch & the Samurai was released exclusively through the Japanese version of the mobile game and gave Leroy the title of Experiment 629, though Disney, for whatever reason, did not translate his part of the side story into English . It took until April 2021 for Lilo & Stitch fans in English-speaking regions (including the U.S.) to get their confirmation of Leroy being 629 through a licensed sticker book of all things.
• Our Clones Are Different : Leroy is only related to his blue doppelgänger Stitch in that he's a new experiment who was created based on Stitch's template. That being said, Hämsterviel uses a machine which creates an instant clone of the subject in a flash of lightning at the press of a button to clone Leroy. Many times.
• Paper-Thin Disguise : Played with. He looks exactly like Stitch when he turns blue, but can't really pull off the act.
• Tom the Dark Lord : Is christened the name "Leroy" by Hämsterviel, something almost everyone scoffs at.
• Theme Music Power-Up : Inverted; as a fail-safe added by Jumba, if Leroy hears "Aloha ʻOe", he will shut down. This also applies to his clones.
• Weaksauce Weakness : Said fail-safe doubles as this.
• The Unintelligible : He mainly speaks in Tantalog, the same gibberish-sounding language Stitch and the experiments speak.

Video Example(s):

Kixx (Experiment 601) is an experiment with four arms, making him four times as strong.

List of Experiments

Many of Stitch's "cousins" are featured in this group photo taken at the end of Leroy & Stitch.

This is a list of experiments from the Disney animated Lilo & Stitch franchise , most of them making their first appearance in Lilo & Stitch: The Series . These fictional experiments, also referred to as Stitch's cousins , are genetically engineered creatures created by Dr. Jumba Jookiba in his lab at " Galaxy Defense Industries ", with the assistance of Dr. Jacques von Hämsterviel who funded the projects with "shady" business deals. Prior to the events of Lilo & Stitch , every experiment created was dehydrated into a small orb called an " experiment pod " and stored in a special container for transport. In Stitch! The Movie , the container was accidentally opened, and the pods dispersed and rained down on the island of Kauaʻi . The experiments within the pods are reactivated upon contact in water, a point of concern because many of the experiments are dangerous and Kauaʻi hosts one of the wettest spots on Earth.

Upon encountering each experiment, whose information is contained in Jumba's database , Stitch 's human friend and partner Lilo gives the experiment a name just as she gave Stitch his name. The two then attempt to rehabilitate the experiments and find a purpose for them on Earth that suits their specific abilities, referred to as the "one true place" they belong.

Stitch, inspired by Hawaii's terminology, refers to the other experiments as his "cousins" and considers them all a part of his ʻohana , or "extended family". All of Jumba's original 626 experiments have their names and numbers listed alongside the credits in Leroy & Stitch .

Background [ ]

Biology [ ].

Due to different experiments' original purposes, the majority of experiments each have a unique appearance, powers, and weaknesses. Though all experiments have unique capabilities and functions, most of them have some abilities in common due to Jumba reusing DNA from one experiment as a prototype for a different experiment, like the similarities of body shape, appearance, and even for powers like in the case of Jumba reusing some of Twang (021)'s DNA in the creation of Bragg (145), granting the latter musical ability. Most seem capable of scaling walls like a gecko (as Stitch frequently does); many are able to grow and retract an extra pair of arms. Since they are genetic experiments each created with multiple kinds of DNA that Jumba sampled throughout the galaxy, they all age quite differently than creatures on Earth as seen with Lilo and the rest of humanity when time is lapsed twenty years in " Skip ".

It is also shown that some experiments' powers (such as Mr. Stenchy (254)'s cuteness, and Checkers (029)'s hypnotic effect) do not affect other experiments, possibly so that these powers do not prevent other experiments from carrying out their primary functions. If affected by other experiments' powers, it might be temporary as Stitch managed to recover from Drowsy (360)'s sleep-inducing program without being exposed to water. Though Angel (624) primarily reverts other experiments (before her time) to evil, Amnesio (303) and Retro (210) can do so as well.

Additionally, it is shown that when an experiment is dehydrated, they will deactivate and turn into a small orb called an experiment pod. If an experiment pod gets wet, the experiment will be reactivated and released. According to Jumba, a home food dehydrator is the only known method of deactivating an experiment a second time.

On numerous occasions, it has been shown that most, if not all, of the experiments have an intentional imperfection added to their design by Jumba: a "fail-safe" of some sort. These imperfections were presumably added in by Jumba in the event his experiments ran out of control, in order to provide him with a way of stopping them in their tracks. Even his most powerful experiments, like 627 and Leroy , both had their own intentional imperfection, with an overreactive sense of humor and the song " Aloha ʻOe " being their respective imperfections.

Creation [ ]

Upon each experiment's creation, it is important that their molecules be charged. If an experiment's molecules are not fully charged, about a year after their creation, they will suffer glitches, during which they will experience seizures and temporarily revert to their original programming. If the molecular charging process is not completed, these glitches will eventually burn out the experiment's circuits and kill them.

Experiment series [ ]

The first digit of the experiment numbers reflects what series of experiments they belong to. The official series of experiments, as stated by Jess Winfield , one of the executive producers, are as follows:

• 0-Series: Jumba's test batch, including many household helpers.
• 1-Series: Civic disturbances.
• 2-Series: Technological and scientific.
• 3-Series: Psychological.
• 4-Series: Top secret and mysterious series of militaristic and mostly failed experiments.
• 5-Series: Elemental and environmental manipulators.
• 6-Series: Battlefield and doomsday experiments with galactic implications.

For the most part, the colors of the experiment pods correspond to the series numbers; however, some of the pods are colored incorrectly.

List of experiments [ ]

0-series: jumba's test batch, including many household helpers [ ], 1-series: civic disturbances [ ], 2-series: technological and scientific [ ], 3-series: psychological [ ], 4-series: top secret and mysterious series of militaristic and mostly failed experiments [ ], 5-series: elemental and environmental manipulators [ ], 6-series: battlefield and doomsday experiments with galactic implications [ ], other experiments [ ].

• According to Jess Winfield , during the development of Lilo & Stitch: The Series , the idea of it focusing on "the other 625 experiments" was birthed from an idea by artist and director Steve Lyons who "suggested that an evil villain clone Stitch into a bunch of different creatures that Lilo and Stitch would chase." Also, the phrase "the other 625 experiments" was coined either by Winfield himself, Bobs Gannaway , or possibly Barry Blumberg, although Winfield doesn't remember who was first to say it. [4]
• Disney's Stitch: Experiment 626 featured an experiment series numbered as 700, which were mass-produced by Jumba and served as enemies in the game.
• In Stitch! , eleven previously unseen experiments created by Jumba were introduced in addition to two experiments created by someone other than Jumba. The first, called Skunkuna , was created by Hämsterviel , and the second was Dark End , created by Delia . Since neither were created by Jumba, they do not fall under his numbering scheme.
• In Stitch & Ai , Jumba creates new experiments based on ancient scrolls he is given. Most are based on Chinese mythical creatures, while others appear to be derived from some creatures. It is unknown whether or not Jumba considers these experiments a part of his existing numbering scheme.
• Tippy has also appeared in the comics, but we do not know anything about her except that she is Jumba's experiment. Additionally, her name is not seen in the experiments list in the end credits of Leroy & Stitch , so she most likely doesn't apply to Jumba's numbering scheme.
• According to the series episode " Skip " (as seen on a monitor) and the Magic Kingdom attraction Stitch's Great Escape! (as seen on wanted posters in the exit halls of the attraction), the official shorthand prefix for "Experiment" is "X-" (X with a hyphen). In addition, Jumba referred to Spooky as "X-300" (ex three hundred), Kixx as "X-601" (ex six-oh-one), and Morpholomew as "X-316" (ex three-one-six) in their respective eponymous episodes , further supporting this.
• Experiments 021, 153, 274, 340, 412, 413, 414, 415, 607, and 611 have their names, numbers, and functions confirmed, but have never physically appeared.
• Experiments 607 and 611 have appeared as stylized graphics on Jumba's computer and the experiment pod container 's screen, respectively.
• Experiment 627 has physically appeared, but was never given an official name.
• 347, 531 and Tippy have appeared in the comics, but do not have their functions confirmed.
• There are several experiments that have appeared in DVD bonus features, comics, and Leroy & Stitch that have never been assigned to a name and number .
• Also, two experiments appeared in Stitch!Now , but they were not confirmed to be Jumba's experiments.
• There are some functions that have never been assigned to a name and number: the experiment designed to turn things into ham was mentioned by Pleakley in " Remmy "; as well as the experiment designed to clog sinks and the experiment with two horns that makes "zzz" sound were mentioned by Reuben and Gantu (respectively) in "Skip" (both were captured by Gantu). Also, some experiments are revealed to have similar abilities of 627.
• Of the 125 experiments that have appeared and been confirmed (including Stitch), Stitch! The Movie introduced 7 experiments , the original series introduced a total of 93 with 45 of them appearing in Season 1 and 48 appearing in Season 2 , Leroy & Stitch introduced 13 , and Stitch! introduced 11 (excluding Dark End, Skunkuna, and Sproutling ).
• We have met 20% of Jumba's experiments in the franchise that have their names, numbers, and functions confirmed, while we only know around 21% of the experiments' functions.
• In most of the franchise, Stitch typically prefaces the names of his fellow experiments (other than Angel ) with "cousin".

Continuity errors [ ]

• Several experiments have been given multiple numbers , such as Bonnie and Clyde , who are called 349 and 350 in their episode , but called 149 and 150 in the end credits of Leroy & Stitch . The same goes for Finder and Ploot , who are called 458 and 515 in their respective episodes , but called 158 and 505 in the end credits of Leroy & Stitch .
• Many of the experiments that appear in the background during the Aloha Stadium battle in Leroy & Stitch are duplicates or recolors and slight edits of existing experiments. They were put in as screen fillers to make it appear as if all 626 experiments were actually there. For example, Houdini appears five times in the frame, while Cannonball appears eight times; twice recolored, twice re-edited and four times copied. Phoon is also seen twice in the scene, both in normal and mutated form.
• Experiment 272 was listed as "Mamf" in the end credits of Leroy & Stitch . However, in Stitch! , Wormhole is called 272 while 275 is given to Tickle-Tummy , who was mistakenly left off the list in the movie. When asked about the numbers of these three, Jess Winfield stated: "The best I can tell you about Tickletummy/Wormhole is that Jumba's genius does not extend to keeping a tidy database. There is some confusion in his records regarding Tickletummy, Wormhole, and a third experiment named Mamf, with different lists giving different numbers for them. Perhaps it will be sorted out someday."
