Merlin (Poptropica)

Merlin is a robotic owl built by Mordred (aka Binary Bard) that originally served as his companion using the brain and the DNA of a barn owl.
== Characteristics ==
Merlin, the robotic owl, was crafted by Mordred, who ingeniously integrated a barn owl's brain and DNA into the mechanical design. This blend of technology and nature resulted in a gray owl with striking blue joints and eyes, reflecting his original form.
== Storyline ==
On Astro-Knights Island, Merlin's role unfolds as an essential ally to Mordred, his creator. However, Merlin's existence sparks controversy due to the ethical concerns raised by the King and Queen, who viewed cyborg creations as unnatural. Despite the risks, Merlin aids Mordred in his escape from imprisonment, ultimately embarking on a journey with the Chosen One to rescue Princess Elyana.
Throughout the adventure, Merlin proves invaluable, assisting the Chosen One in overcoming various challenges. From piloting spacecraft to confronting Mordred's creations on different planets, Merlin's courage and resourcefulness shine. Tragically, in the final confrontation with Mordred, Merlin sacrifices himself to protect the Chosen One, falling victim to Mordred's formidable arsenal.
In a remarkable turn of events, Merlin is restored to functionality after the Chosen One and Princess Elyana successfully thwart Mordred's plans. With Merlin repaired, power is restored to Arturus, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.
In Super Villain Island, while Merlin does not physically manifest, an evil figment of Mordred's imagination takes the form of Merlin within Mordred's mind. This malevolent entity, known as Evil Merlin, embodies the darker aspects of Mordred's psyche, serving as a formidable adversary within Mordred's mental landscape. Evil Merlin's appearance, characterized by red joints and a sinister demeanor, contrasts starkly with the benevolent nature of the original Merlin encountered on Astro-Knights Island.
