>>46907082I've talked a bit about Orzabal and Curtonix in these threads a little bit already, being a Malamar and a Beheeyem, respectively. Those two showed up in both Murdoch's original and tabletop stories as main characters, though there are more Pokémon on his side in his tabletop scenario.
Pic related is Mengele, a variant of Orbeetle from the Pokémon equivalent region of Germany. There's not much difference to him from a regular Orbeetle other than a different color scheme, though. Unlike Murdoch's robots, Mengele actually answers directly to Orzabal... usually. He is enamored with the wonders of human technology, travelling far and wide to gaze upon and study all he can cram into that chitinous cranium of his. Once he discovered the flying laboratory that Murdoch and his two keepers travel about in, he was dead set on joining them. The Orbeetle met with both Orzabal and Curtonix while they were outside, begging them to allow him inside of the laboratory. The two agreed to let the bug stay with them in the lab under the condition that he would swear fealty to them, and that he helped keep Murdoch safe at all costs, as the human's brain is an integral part of their ultimate goal.
One unique trait that Mengele has apart from the Galarian Orbeetle is that he knows Magic Powder. He uses this powder not only to render beings vulnerable to his Bug-type attacks, but also to inflict various inconveniences upon them, as well. Using the materials and knowledge he gleaned in the lab, he'll take the finished products and put them into vials like the ones you see here. He's learned to have his powder range from things like making make his targets itch uncontrollably, up to (but not limited to) infecting them with the Common Cold.
