Dr. Psychobos (CYOA)

Dr. Psychobos is an antagonist in Clock 10: Choose Your Own Adventure.
==Appearance==
Being a Cerebrocrustacean, Dr. Psychobos is crab-like in appearance with a somewhat robotic torso, unlike other Cerebrocrustaceans. He is noticeably stubbier than other Cerebrocrustaceans, and his head seems particularly massive. His right claw is very small, while his left is very large and spiny, causing him to resemble a fiddler crab. His carapace is dark purple, and is lighter-colored on his lower face and body. He has yellow eyes, large white-blue eyebrows and mustache, an odd symbol on his forehead, and three upright spikes on either side of his head.
Dr. Psychobos has a trident-shaped machine, which enhances his electrokinesis, on his brain that is visible when he opens his casing. This machine lines up the symbol on his forehead. He also has two smaller machines on each side of his brain.
==Personality==
Unlike the rest of his kind, Dr. Psychobos has great hatred and jealousy for the Galvan (Azmuth in particular), believing that they have a superiority complex. He claims that Galvan are only considered smart because of "persistently pervasive dumb luck".
Dr. Psychobos is easily angered at the very idea that Galvans are smarter than Cerebrocrustaceans. His grudge against the Galvan is so great that he had the hypnotized Revonnahganders under his control criticize and mock them.
Dr. Psychobos is highly narcissistic and constantly brags about his species' superior intellect, and brags rather persistently about his own, even outright declaring himself the smartest being in the universe.
Dr. Psychobos has considerable distrust for Khyber, as well as a slight apprehension of Malware.
Dr. Psychobos displays mild impatience for his partner's arguments, and will do the job himself if he doesn't get what he wants.
Dr. Psychobos' goal is to eliminate Azmuth and prove that the Cerebrocrustaceans are superior to the Galvan, and he doesn't see Clockwork Firefly as much of a threat.
When working for Princess Attea, Dr. Psychobos has a clear dislike for her due to her bratty, vulgar, and impatient attitude, making several sarcastic remarks to her, and even at one point trying to attack her with an electrified blade/wrench-like tool, only to have it be swatted out of his claw, prompting him to snivel and beg for forgiveness.
Dr. Psychobos has a persistent stutter, often ends his sentences with "...and I use the term loosely.", usually as a means of belittling the subject, and insists that he always be addressed as Dr. Psychobos.
Dr. Psychobos would team up with any villain, any time, as evidenced by his numerous alliances.
==History==
*Outbreak: Dr. Psychobos successfully infiltrated the Plumber HQ with the intent to steal a piece of the Omnitrix. He succeeded in doing so, and made his escape.
*Showdown: Dr. Psychobos and Zed fought Clock outside Azmuth's lab on Galvan Mark II, only for Zed to turn against Dr. Psychobos, as Azmuth carved a whistle into Terry Firefly's snout that allowed him to manipulate Zed's transformations. He managed to evade custody.
*While You Were Away: Dr. Psychobos brainwashed the Revonnahgander population, forcing them to harvest Amber Ogia for the Incursean fleet. He, Attea, and the other Incurseans escaped.
*The Frogs of War: Under order of Emperor Milleous, Dr. Psychobos revealed his Way Bad army, which were under his control, forcing the heroes to surrender, leading to Clock's exile from Earth. It was left unclear what his fate was at the end of the story.
*The Final Countdown: In the credit scene, Dr. Psychobos chastized the group who attacked the Plumber HQ for not destroying the base, as it instead was sent into orbit in its satellite form. At some point prior to this episode, and after Showdown, Dr. Psychobos had used some of Malware's petrified remains to create the Malware virus.
*Basic Training: Dr. Psychobos watched the Plumbers Academy from the background via security footage, including watching Clock's lecture with Kolar. Later, Gorvan, who had been aiding the group to some extent, tried to betray Dr. Psychobos, who stopped him before it could happen. He then activated the Malware virus, and was teleported away.
*Pet Project: Dr. Psychobos was the head of the mission in this episode, being the one to devise the plan of using a pre-existing Mechamorph vessel, which ended up being Ship, to restore Malware's physical form. He also had recreated the Hyde serum which was later used on King Joseph Chadwick. Despite Clock's numerous attempts with Decayed or Clockwork, Ship was left to his fate, being sacrificed for Malware's revival, and the group was teleported away.
*They Lurk Below: Dr. Psychobos and Malware worked to steal the Cyber Squid power source from the Bermuda Triangle Plumber Base. Clock fought the two as Glitch Trials, which Dr. Psychobos used to his advantage by causing Glitch Trials to glitch the opening to the power source. He then replaced it with a highly volatile Crystalsapien crystal that caused the base to implode.
