Lazlo Valentin

video File:Placeholder
Dr. **Lazlo Valentin** (ラズロ・ヴァレンティン, *Razuro Varentein*), or **Professor Pyg** (プロフェッサー・ピッグ, *Purofessā Piggu*), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *DC* series created by Jim Lee.

He is both a gifted surgeon and an eco-terrorist, transforming his victims into human–animal hybrids. He and his partner Mister Toad hunt people for what they deem to be crimes against the animal kingdom.

Some of hiss eco-terrorism ranges from targeting businesspeople who did shady environment deals, capturing models and fashion designers that use parts of different animals (like feathers and pelts), and creating mutations.

"*We've been meaning to invite you over for tea...and a good, ol'-fashioned pummeling. Unfortunately, we're all out of tea.*"

—Professor Pyg.
