Dr. Cagliostro

Dr. Cagliostro is a male human.
After years of preparing for his experiment, Dr. Cagliostro hired his monster assistant Torgo to capture Timon and Pumbaa so that he could turn them into beautiful creatures with the Metamorphitron, a machine he had created. However, the experiment went wrong, and Timon and Pumbaa were transformed into hideous monsters. Timon managed to trick Torgo into believing he was being replaced, and the monster went on a rampage, destroying the Metamorphitron and turning into a beautiful woman as a result. Dr. Cagliostro decided to marry Torgo and thus become the happiest man on Earth.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Dr. Cagliostro lived in Massachusetts, where he owned and operated a laboratory in a tower. He spent years preparing for his experiment with a machine he had created called the Metamorphitron, which could conceivably beautify ugly creatures. At some point, he created a monster named Torgo and made him his assistant.
===Experiment on Timon and Pumbaa===
Dr. Cagliostro declared himself ready for his experiment. He ordered Torgo to catch Timon and Pumbaa and bring them to him. When Torgo did so, Dr. Cagliostro told the two friends that he was going to turn them into the world's most beautiful creatures. Timon told the doctor that he was already beautiful but that Pumbaa could use some improvements. Dr. Cagliostro then put Timon in a cage.
Pumbaa was put in the Metamorphitron by Torgo. However, the Metamorphitron turned Pumbaa ugly instead of beautiful, much to Dr. Cagliostro's shock and depression, as he realized that his experiment had failed. After telling Torgo to put Pumbaa in the cage with Timon, Dr. Cagliostro took out a picture of Albert Einstein and asked him what he could have possibly overlooked. Albert Einstein "whispered" into Dr. Cagliostro's ear and told him to check the math. Dr. Cagliostro told Torgo that they had work to do, and the two went upstairs.
Meanwhile, Timon and Pumbaa made a plan to turn Pumbaa back to normal and then escape the laboratory. After they succeeded in getting out of the cage, Pumbaa tried to turn back to normal. In the process, Timon got caught by Torgo and tried to escape. He got into the Metamorphitron with Pumbaa and, as a result, became ugly, while Pumbaa was turned back to normal.
When Torgo caught Timon and Pumbaa, Timon made a plan to have the monster turn on his master. Timon convinced Torgo that Dr. Cagliostro would soon replace him with another monster, causing him to be enraged and dislike the doctor. When Dr. Cagliostro found Torgo destroying the Metamorphitron and tried to get him to stop, the laboratory exploded and Torgo turned into a beautiful woman. This made Dr. Cagliostro fall in love and decide to marry her, thus becoming the happiest man on earth.
==Physical appearance==
Dr. Cagliostro is a short, stout, and hunch-backed man. He has pale green skin, with black hair, two bits of black mustache, and large black eyes with yellow sclerae.
==Personality and traits==
Being a mad scientist, Dr. Cagliostro has an evil and maniacal side. Despite being rather antagonistic, he does not regard his work as harmful or monstrous, as he disliked turning Pumbaa ugly. When his assistant Torgo became a beautiful woman, Dr. Cagliostro decided to marry her and become the happiest man on Earth. Therefore, it is possible that he reformed.
