**Mechanikat** is one of the main antagonists in the Enchanted Pup franchise. He is a dangerous intergalactic mastermind wanted by the Dog Star Patrol for a series of crimes against the galaxy. Wanting power and control over the galaxy, Mechanikat seeks to take over the galaxy and overthrow the Dog Stars and the all-powerful Enchanted Pup. Mechanikat is frequently accompanied by Snooky Wookums, his trusted accomplice and an army of cat bots programmed to obey every one of their creator's orders.

## Background

Little is known about Mechanikat's early life except he was an orphaned kitten often chased by ferocious dogs which caused him to develop a seething hatred of the canine species and made it his personal mission to have them all eradicated so cats will be the dominant species. Mechanikat eventually turned to a life of crime and became the most wanted criminal in the galaxy, not to mention the most dangerous. During one of his escape, Mechanikat gets into a violent accident that nearly kills him leading his recently-hired assistant, Snooky to replace all of his failed organs and body parts with mechanical ones to avoid death. From that moment on, Mechanikat was wanted on almost every inhabited planet except for Earth and EverRealm, a planet currently ruled by King Hansel and Queen Amber.

### Development

   In Warner Bros.' version of *Krypto the Superdog,* the origins of Mechanikat were unknown. All Prancer could find on Mechanikat was that he was involved in an accident that led him to replace all of his mutilated parts with robotic ones and that dogs were the ones who were responsible for Mechanikat's nearly fatal attack, leading him to hate dogs for what they've done.

In Prancer Elkwood's animated series, the *Enchanted Pup,* Mechanikat is an intergalactic criminal that the Dog Stars and intergalactic authorities are trying to apprehend but has a special skill for fleeing the scene before the cops show up. Elkwood has officially announced that Mechanikat will be a recurring villain in the series and hints that both Mechanikat and Snooky may have episodes where they may redeem themselves to the galaxy by helping the Enchanted Pup and the Dog Stars with a mission and in the end will become heroes and accepted back into the galaxy after being in isolation for forty years.

### Personality

Mechanikat is a sadistic, villainous, power-obsessed and diabolical mastermind constantly coming up with plans to defeat the Dog Stars, steal from other planets and to strip planet Earth of its resources before conquering and ruling the barren planet. He is an extremely intelligent inventor as he built his own spaceship from scratch and programmed it with the weapons to trap and guard intruders. He even created an army of cat robots who mirror their boss' conniving personality and a will of their own. He is found to be the most wanted and dangerous criminal in the galaxy is because with the help from his gadgets, he'll be able to flee the crime scene or from the hands of law enforcement before they even notice. Given his title, Mechanikat proudly lives up to it and enjoys learning about his crimes through the media and the thought of knowing that no one will be able to stop him.

Battling against law enforcement isn't a challenge for Mechanikat but after he encountered the Dog Stars, the heroic Superdog and Supercat and the fearsome Bathound, Mechanikat learned that after being defeated by his new opponents, he immediately made plans of what to do when he encounters them again. For example, when he captured the Dog Stars in one of his booby traps, he used a laser device that stripped the Dog Stars of their powers leaving them powerless and left to die a terrifying fate. His repeated defeats against the Dog Stars lead him to form a personal vendetta against them, swearing that he won't just trap the Dog Stars, he'll kill them as they are a threat to his schemes to rule the galaxy. When encountering the Enchanted Pup for the first time, Mechanikat didn't starting holding a rivalry against him, instead he became obsessed with Hansel and his powerful magic. He was hoping to drain the magical Pup of his powers and use it to battle his enemies.

Although Mechanikat values Snooky and the work he has done for his master, Mechanikat's relationship with Snooky can at times be abusive both physically and emotionally. When Snooky fails an assigned mission, Mechanikat would usually berate Snooky by threatening his life or by striking him with hurtful and degrading insults enough to increase Snooky's determination, desperation and eager to impress his master whom he looks up to in admiration and great respect.

### Physical appearance

Mechanikat is a green cat with grey cybernetic skin on the right side of his body. His arm, right eye, both arms and legs and tail were replaced by grey metal. He wears a black tunic with a matching belt and pants along with a cape with a shade of velvet on the inside.

### Powers and abilities

* **Cat Physiology:** Mechanikat is an anthropomorphic cat
* **Cybernetic Reflexes:** As a result of being rebuilt into a cyborg-cat hybrid, Mechanikat's average catlike reflexes were strengthened up to the point where he can catch a glass of milk from before it barely lands the floor.

### *The Enchanted Pup*

#### *The Enchanted Pup meets Krypto*

Before the events of the episode, Mechanikat had the blueprints of a doomsday device downloaded into his memory banks until the Dog Stars took the memory chip out of Mechanikat's memory bank, leaving him to forget how to make the doomsday. He angrily tells the Dog Stars that he'll figure out a way to regain his memory and ensure destruction on the human race. One day at a science fair in Metro City, Mechanikat discovers that one of the scientists is presenting a machine that can project any memory onto the monitor. He launches Snooky onto Earth, so he can steal the invention and bring it back to his boss. His plan proved to successful and knowing that Hansel, Krypto and the Dog Stars will return to steal back the invention, Mechanikat had his entire lair booby-trapped.

Hansel accidentally triggers a booby-trapped, causing him and the Dog Stars to be locked in a cage. Mechanikat neutralizes the Dog Stars' powers, leaving them powerless and defenseless. He tells the Dog Stars, his plans to conquer the universe by using the doomsday device, that he'll make as soon as his memory is restored. Hansel reminds Mechanikat that the Memory Projector can only project memories that the user remembers, not the ones that are forgotten. Mechanikat corrects the Enchanted Pup by telling him that Snooky created a USB that should enable the Memory Projector to do that. Afterwards, once he gain control of the Diotian computer system, he will launch a nuclear missile which will kill Commander Vulcan.

Mechanikat leaves his lair to set up the Memory Projector, not before opening up a pit of lava to dip the Enchanted Pup and the Dog Stars in. While he was gone, Hansel used a rope to grab the neutralizer, to de-neutralize the Dog Stars' powers. They break free of the ropes and battle the Catbots. Once the Catbots were defeated, Mechanikat revealed to the gang, that he finished building the doomsday device and was ready to blast it at the planet Earth. Hansel had Tusky distract Mechanikat by scaring him, causing him to fall into a washer and come flying into a restraint chair. Hansel puts the Memory Projector over Mechanikat's head and erases his memory of the doomsday device. He angrily vows vengeance against the Dog Stars and their new friend, Hansel.
