His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- Helping Oleander steal the campers' brains and mutate Linda into a giant monster under the insane Psychonaut's control to create an army of Psychoblaster Death Tanks to take over the world.
- Forcing Sheegor to work for him under the threat of cooking and eating her pet turtle, Mr. Pokeylope, (whom he also took prisoner), all the while mistreating her.
- Holding Truman hostage in his underwater lair under Gristol's orders; and later Raz, Lili, Sasha, Milla, and Oleander when they broke in to rescue the Grand Head. It's also revealed in the same scene that someone previously hired Loboto to steal Raz's brain.
- Mutating the fish in the Rhombus of Ruin to become his minions.
- After escaping his lair releasing his fish minions following his redemption, he still detonated the base and failed to alert the heroes to escape. Although this is more out of insanity than villainy, as he had everyone escape before.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He has a genuine tragedy, having been hated by his prejudiced parents upon discovering he was a psychic and called "devil child" and "little monster" once they decided to force him to undergo a lobotomy.
- While he’s extremely smart and able to recognize right and wrong, he still has some moral agency issues due to his lobotomy, as showed when he decided to blow up his base even after his redemption.
- He's shown expressing remorse after Raz helped him restore his moral compass and then releases everyone from the rhombus, effectively redeeming himself. In the successive game he affirm to be a a reformed man and would actually told the Psychonauts about his boss, only refusing to do so because he was conditioned by Gristol to become terrified of receiving retribution from Maligula.
- He was apparently fond of his fish minions, as shown by them all playing a game of poker in one of the memory vaults in his Labyrinth, "Enhancement Under the Sea".
- He escaped the Motherlobe to pick up his kid from camp, proving that he does indeed care about them.
Trivia[]
- He and Coach Morceau Oleander are the two Psychonauts villains to be Inconsistently Heinous.
