> Now what? There’s no one else here, I’m left in a world by myself… A bit symbolic, isn’t it? This is exactly what I would’ve used the prize for. I could… N-No, I don’t have to. There’s no one to hurt anymore. I’m truly… Alone

Lugia is a contestant in Characters Do Challenge And Things.

## Backstory

Lugia's backstory is based on their pokedex entries, where they end up isolating themself from the outside world because their powers are too strong. Due to this, their life is mostly uneventful aside from the occasional kidnapping attempt and Ho-Oh's visits. CDCAT is the most eventful thing they've been a part of after at least 100 years.

## Personality

Having lived most of their life in isolation, Lugia tends to keep to themself most of the time. They tend to like their alone time, but aren't opposed to being around others, as seen in Bag It Up where while they stayed in their room for a few days, it was out of just wanting to stay in their room and not out of dislike for their team, who they are quite fond of.

Due to living by themself for a while, they haven't heard of many things. This is most apparent whenever someone says a modern phrase, which they get confused by. They also haven't tried many types of food, seen in multiple episode where they end up trying a food they've never had before. They end up loving sweets, and now eats them whenever possible.

Lugia can be quite gullible or slow to realize, as seen in episodes like An Unlucky Switch! where they end up saying the wrong thing at the wrong time multiple times, as well as falling for Peter's Surfin' Bird trick multiple times, to the point that they even question how they manage this.

Lugia also has very low self worth and tends to blame themself for situations, even if they're clearly not at fault. These traits are seen across multiple episodes there they insist that others like Yang and Leshawna shouldn't have to get involved in their own problems, seeing it as unfair to them, to the point where they have to convince Lugia just to let them help. They're also quick to hide from their problems, as seen when they try to hide in their room forever after Maverick falsely accuses them in Shipping Wars.

## Coverage

#### Characters Do Challenge And Things

In Familiar Faces, they're first introduced by getting shot by Ramune, which causes them to get up and knock Glassy into a wall. Ramune asks them if she knows them from anywhere, which they deny. Then when she celebrates and asks Lugia if they're dying, they say that they're not, annoying Ramune.

When Dipper includes Lugia in the people that he seems to recognize, Lugia quickly denies the possibility saying that they don't even have a feeling that they know the place. Shortly after they are placed on a team and are pressured to think of a team by Jezaille, causing them to accidentally name their team Need More Time. They also end up destroying the confessional area by accident when trying to use it for the first time.

In the challenge, it's noted how Lugia seems to be standing in one place for most of it. They end up taking a lot of shots from Ramune and at one point, has to hold Ramune and Glassy to make sure that they don't cause more chaos. This however doesn't last long as Lugia lets go as they see Glassy start to crack, letting the two free. When the challenge is about to end, Lugia reveals that they've been standing in place to make sure they don't destroy the room by accident during the challenge. However, with no options left their team tries to convince them that destroying the room is the only chance of winning. At first they're reluctant, but end up doing it and their team is safe with .052 seconds remaining.

At the end of the episode when everyone is having their feast, Lugia insists that they don't take from anyone else but Ramune ends up throwing ice cream into their mouth. They end up loving it and almost destroy the table to get some more. They're then approached by Volo, who ends up wanting to talk to them.

### Characters Do Challenge And Things - Casino Madness

In the first part of The Good Ol' Switcheroo, when they see Latias and Latios approach the shop they greet the two, and is confused when Latias greets them like she does, and asks if they know her. She reveals she's a big fan, and they thank her before mentioning that isn't a good thing which Latias disagrees with. They then ask the two if they could gather the rest of the team which Latias agrees to and leaves to get to, leaving them and Latios. They then ask Latios about Latias and he reveals that she admires them and even looks up to them, and they immediately say that she needs a role model, which Latios agrees to and even mentions that they're one of the worst choices, which Lugia agrees to again, catching Latios off guard, not realizing he said it out loud. Latios, acknowledging how much Latias likes Lugia then threatens Lugia, saying that if they hurt Latias in any way he will kill them in the most painful way he can think of, this is then caught by the rest of the Toxic Crushers and Lugia comes up with the excuse that Lugia said something that hurt Latios, and that they were at fault. When Noah asks about them being the shopkeeper, they admit they aren't fully sure how it all happened and seems relieved he's doing fine, which Noah sees as debatable. Whenever Noah mentions their encounter in Final Showdown of the Land, Sea and Sky, Lugia says that they won't stop him from talking about it if he wants, but thanks him when he doesn't. They then pull out a reference card to explain the details of the shop and then notices a part that they didn't notice, and doesn't read that part. Gelatin asks about the immunity ticket, which they explain the function of, causing Simon to immediately buy it. Whenever Google mentions which Lugia they specifically are and ask if they would like to pull up the first CDCAT season, Lugia shouts to not before going back to their usual demeanor. This then causes Lugia to start worrying about it before Latios snaps them out of it to ask why they saved him back there, which they respond to not think about it much. He reluctantly agrees to and asks about the TM at the store, which Lugia explains is a personal use item, and that the TM is one of his.

At the vote reveal, Lugia comes out to decide the raffle winner and ends up taking a while to do it, when told to hurry up by Candace, they end up breaking the box, but still get a winner from it and read the message out. Then whenever a vote that read like Guy Blanko at the beginning, Lugia starts to panic and says to get rid of the vote reason before being told to calm down, as the vote wasn't actually from him. Later when Maverick calsl them a dirty manipulator and they're asked about it, they say it's a complicated situation before being told by BFDI Rocky to just say they're not bad anymore, which they believe to not be entirely true.

In the second part, they aren't seen until the end where they're given a note by BFDI Rocky. Whenever they're done reading it, they put the note down and say they can't make any promises, but will try.
