Reuben (625)

## Reuben

Reuben

**Reuben**, A.K.A. **Experiment 625**, is an illegal genetic experiment created by Jumba Jookiba, a frequent henchman of Gantu, and a major character in the *Lilo & Stitch*franchise, first appearing in*Stitch! The Movie*. He is one of the failed prototypes of Stitch.

He is designed to possess all the same powers of Stitch; he's even equipped with advanced lingual skills. The main flaw in his design is laziness; the most strenuous thing he did was making sandwiches, albeit delicious ones, and prefers to lie around all day, much to Gantu's anger. His one true place is with Gantu as his galley officer.

## Personality

Despite having all the powers of Stitch, Reuben is an incredibly lazy coward. However, during the events of*Leroy & Stitch*, Reuben finally made something of himself and used his powers to help save the world. He is actually very humble and friendly, though often makes wisecracks, but is usually quite crabby toward others when they disturb him (especially Gantu). He has tagged along with Gantu and Dr. Hämsterviel during many villainous plots, but has stated that he doesn't really care who wins.

## Biology

### Appearance

Reuben is a golden yellow chubby wolfdog/fossa/hyena/bloodhound/koala/pufferfish/fox/golden mole/marmot/kangaroo mouse/poodle/rabbit/chicken-like gopher-creature with a big lemming-like head with long floppy rabbit/bloodhound-like ears, pig-like face that flop down at the sides of his head, big white jackal-like eyes black newt-like pupils, three small chicken-like antennae that look like a tuft of fluffy fur, bright yellow stomach, meerkat/monkey/donkey/cow/lion-like tail cow/lion-like tail tuft fox-like chest and around his eyes, dark yellow toes, big red dog/zebra/bull/horse/dragon-like nose/snout, crocodile-like nostril, pointed rat-like fingers, short stumpy kangaroo-like legs, hourglass-shaped marking on his back and two flat buck teeth sticking out of his mouth and overlapping his bottom lip.

### Special Abilities

Reuben possesses all of Stitch's powers, including the ability to grow an extra pair of arms, three back spines and two antennae on top of his head, lift objects up to 3,000 times his own weight, think faster than a supercomputer, roll into a ball, see in the dark, and scale walls and ceilings. He can also speak fluent English (with a hint of a Brooklyn accent), though he's capable of understanding Tantalog, his native tongue, and is a talented sandwich maker (and sandwich eater). Obviously, Reuben is too lazy for much physical combat or use of his powers, and therefore prefers to stand on the sidelines.

### Weaknesses

Reuben was originally very lazy and cowardly, and is proven to be ticklish when Tickle-Tummy tickle tortures him in the episode "Snafu". Also, he doesn't seem to be anywhere near as durable, suffering fairly painful-looking injuries after being forced to train four henchmen experiments for Gantu in "Dupe". However, as it has been repeatedly stated that he has all of Stitch's powers, he may very well be as durable, and the pain he received may be psychological in nature or from a lack of mental attitude to tolerate pain as well as Stitch. It is uncertain whether or not Reuben shares Stitch's weakness of water, although he doesn't seem to mind being in water as much as Stitch does.
