    List of 6-Series and unnumbered experiments 
Tropes for any of these experiments can be found in either the "General" folder back on the main Experiments page or in the folders below this list.

  • X-600: Woops — A purple, skinny, Stitch-like experiment with huge yellow buckteeth, a football-shaped head with three short white-tipped antennae and a short white-tipped tail. He is designed to be indestructible and able to do anything. He has all the powers of Stitch, but is a total klutz who accidentally bumps into everything. The only word he says is "Woops!" His pod is blue. His one true place is being a valued member of Pleakley's bowling team, since the one thing he can actually do is knock things over, including bowling pins. He is the first prototype of Stitch and is considered a failure due to his extreme clumsiness. He is voiced by Rob Paulsen. (Appearances: "Woops", Leroy & Stitch)
  • X-601: Kixx — See folder below
  • X-602: Sinker — See folder below
  • X-603: Zap — A bright yellow living laser beam-like experiment with lightning-shaped antennae, dark blue eyes, and a small limbless vaguely dog-like body. He was caught by Gantu with the help of Experiment 627 in "627", but was later rescued in "Snafu". (Appearances: "627", "Snafu", Leroy & Stitch, Stitch!, Disney Sorcerer's Arena)
  • X-604: Houdini — See folder below
  • X-605: Warpstron
  • X-606: Holio — See folder below
  • X-607: Launch — A tan naked mole-rat-like experiment with four spines on its back. It is designed to warp the fabric of time and space, causing the entire universe to collapse upon itself. This experiment itself never actually appeared in The Series, but it was the blue pod on the sandcastle in "627". Rufus the naked mole-rat was mistaken for this experiment in the Kim Possible crossover episode named after him until Stitch identified him as not being one of the "cousins". This experiment may have briefly appeared in the Japanese intro sequence (and international end credits) of the Stitch! anime's second season, ~The Mischievous Alien's Great Adventure~, when Stitch accidentally brings down the walls of the enclosed venue he was performing a rock concert in after fighting 627; a pink creature with a reddish-pink nose and large front teeth that stick out much like a naked mole rat's teeth can be partially seen behind Thresher, looking up at the collapsing walls.
  • X-608: Slugger — A small, yellow pterosaur-like experiment who is designed to deflect projectiles with his tail shaped like a baseball bat. His pod is blue. His one true place is as a Little League Baseball coaching assistant. (Appearances: "Slugger", "Glitch", Leroy & Stitch, Stitch!, Lilo & Stitch 2: Hämsterviel Havoc, Disney Stitch Jamnote )
  • X-609: Heat — A small, red-orange vaguely dog-like experiment with small eyes, a big mouth, small drooping ears, and a large shiny black oval embedded in his forehead. He is designed to fire rays of flaming heat from the blowtorch-like feature on his forehead. He was found (in pod form), activated, named, and trained by Gantu. This experiment was sent to Dr. Hämsterviel, but was rescued by Lilo and Stitch in "Snafu". (Appearances: "Dupe", "Remmy", "Snafu", Leroy & Stitch, Stitch!)
  • X-610: Witch — A small, purple bat/ghost-like experiment. The back of her head is shaped like a cone and curved at the bottom to resemble a witch hat, and her ears resemble small bat wings. Her eyes are blue and she has eyelashes. Her stomach is light purple and her chest has a yellow heart. Her witch-like hat head has a pattern of purple and then light purple stripes. She was designed to have many supernatural abilities. These include the abilities of a ghost and being able to possess others in order to turn them into evil witches too. Once possessed, the victim is under Witch's complete control and also has her variety of abilities such as animation, spontaneous generation, levitation, demonic transformation, and other forms of reality-bending abilities. Her pod is green. She is voiced by Susanne Blakeslee. (Appearance: Stitch!)
  • X-611: El Fin (a.k.a. Doomsday) — An experiment designed to make the universe implode when Jumba speaks the password. Fortunately, Jumba forgot the password. Called the "ultimate super weapon", Gantu thought that he had X-611's blue pod in "Houdini" but he was actually reading X-119's pod upside down. His original name was Doomsday, but this was changed due to a copyright issue.
  • X-612: Blandzilla
  • X-613: Yaarp — See folder below
  • X-614: Gunner — This experiment's blue pod was seen in the experiment profiler special feature on the Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch DVD. Its function is unknown.
  • X-615: Yogee
  • X-616: Joey
  • X-617: Plasmoid — A large green scorpion-like experiment with a pincer-less tail. He is designed to shoot explosive balls of plasma from his tail. Plasmoid was found (in pod form), activated, named, and trained by Gantu. This experiment was sent to Dr. Hämsterviel, but was rescued in "Snafu". (Appearances: "Dupe", "Snafu", Leroy & Stitch, Stitch!, Disney Tsum Tsumnote )
  • X-618: Crystallene
  • X-619: Splodyhead — See folder below
  • X-620: Page
  • X-621: Chopsuey — See folder below
  • X-622: Jumby
  • X-623: Trainer
  • X-624: Angel — See folder below
  • X-625: Reuben — See folder below
  • X-626: Stitch — See the franchise's title characters' page
  • X-627 — See folder below
  • X-628 — Created around the same time as 627, it was seen only as a blue pod at the end of "627" as Jumba locked it away in a vault, saying, "So much for Experiment 627. Perhaps I will have better luck next time." This experiment never physically appeared in the franchise, nor was it mentioned ever again after "627".
  • X-629: Leroy — See folder below
  • Skunkuna — A black and white skunk-like experiment with a beak, three antennae on his head and two antennae on his tail. According to the English dub of the Stitch! anime, he was made by Dr. Hämsterviel instead of Jumba, and thus is not part of Jumba's numbering system. He is able to shoot explosive pellets that release an unbearable stench upon impact. He falls in love with Mr. Stenchy, who has a similar stench-releasing ability. When the stenches of Skunkuna and Mr. Stenchy combine, they form a perfect aroma. Many fans assumed that the experiment is actually Experiment 126/Stank and the English dub completely changed his identity, but Jess Winfield has stated that the Japanese original did name the experiment "Skunkuna" as it was written on the translated scripts the English dubbing team received for the episode's "re-versioning". (Appearance: Stitch!)

Notable 6-Series experiments

    Kixx (Experiment 601) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kixx_experiment_601.png
Voiced by: Frank Welker
Pod color: Blue
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch: The Series"Kixx", "The Asteroid", "Houdini", "Angel", "Slugger", "Shoe", "Checkers", "Ploot", "Ace"note  | Leroy & Stitch | Stitch! — "Meega Going to Disneyland!", "Shogun", Stitch and the Planet of Sand

A purple, muscular Tasmanian Devil-like experiment with four arms who is designed to beat up individuals. His "one true place" is teaching people how to kickbox, and also hosts a series of workout videos called Kickboxing with Kixx.


  • Adaptational Villainy: He's one of the experiments that Hämsterviel has control over in the anime, although his cameo in Stitch and the Planet of Sand implies that he's become good again.
  • The Bully: Before he was reformed, he loved to pick fights. This trope is what he was designed to do, really.
  • Expy: See the above description.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Before he’s reformed, it doesn't take much to get him violent.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: He has four muscular arms, perfect for beating up others. However, unlike his cousins, they are not retractable as far as we know.
  • No-Neck Chump: He doesn’t have a neck.
  • Purple Is Powerful: He’s a purple experiment with super-strength and hand-to-hand combat skills.
  • Shout-Out: He is likely named after the indoor soccer team, the Philadelphia KiXX, though it could be just a coincidence.
  • Spectacular Spinning: Like his inspiration, he can spin like a tornado.
  • Purple Is Powerful: He is a strong purple experiment who is powerful enough to challenge Stitch in a fight.
  • Would Hit a Girl: He was willing to attack Lilo.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Again, he tried to attack Lilo.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Some of his fighting styles employ professional wrestling moves.

    Sinker (Experiment 602) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/602_sinker_8.png
Voiced by: Frank Welker (Lilo & Stitch: The Series), Ben Diskin (Stitch!)
Pod color: Blue (in Stitch!)
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch: The Series"Sinker", "Drowsy", "Ploot" | Leroy & Stitch | Stitch! — "The Return of Amnesio", "Stitch Ahoy!", Stitch and the Planet of Sand
Appearance in other media: Disney Stitch Jam 2note 

A small, purple shark-like experiment designed to destroy and sink enemy ships with his large razor-sharp dorsal fin. His one true place is at a Japanese restaurant where he uses his large fin to cut up vegetables and fillet fish for the chefs to make sushi.


  • Adaptational Villainy: He's one of the experiments that Hämsterviel has control over in the anime, although he reforms by the end of "Stitch Ahoy!".
  • Aliens Speaking English: He verbally speaks in the anime.
  • Flipping Helpless: In the anime, Sinker (602) has a blind spot on his large fin that makes him immobile on land if he falls over to his side.
  • Height Angst: He scowls when Stitch laughs at him for being small.
  • Mundane Utility: He gets a job at a sushi restaurant cutting food. Also, at the end of the anime episode "Stitch Ahoy!", he uses his fin to cut Slushy's ice balls into shave ice.
  • Suddenly Voiced: He was silent in The Series, but is able to speak in the anime, possibly due to Hämsterviel's transmutation.
  • Super Not-Drowning Skills: He can't actually breathe underwater, but he can stay under there for a long time.
  • Threatening Shark: Resembles a shark. He has a big shark-like dorsal fin that can cut things in half.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: In the anime, it's shown that if he's forced into a horizontal position, he'll become immobile due to his large dorsal fin.

    Houdini (Experiment 604) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/604___houdini.png
Ala-kablooey!
Voiced by: Rob Paulsen (Lilo & Stitch: The Series), Keith Silverstein (Stitch!)
Pod color: Yellow
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch: The Series"Houdini", "Remmy",note  "Snafu" | Leroy & Stitch | Stitch! — "Hämsterviel's Epic Secret", Stitch and the Planet of Sand

A whitish-tan and pink rabbit-like experiment with four brown spots on each elbow and knee, purple markings on his back and ear tips, and a little face with a small mouth, dark pink nose, and large round black eyes. He is designed to make anything and himself disappear (become invisible) with a blink of his huge eyes; though he can reverse the invisibility and make the invisible object reappear. His eyes are sensitive to intense light (i.e. camera flashes), which causes him to blink reflexively and randomly making the surrounding objects or creatures he sees invisible. He is easily spooked and skittish and does not like to fight. His one true place is as a Hollywood magician, although he's later shown as a street magician in "Snafu".


    Holio (Experiment 606) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/606_holio.png
Voiced by: Frank Welker
Pod color: Blue
Appearances: "Holio", "Checkers", "Ace",note  "Snafu" | Leroy & Stitch
Appearance in other media: Lilo & Stitch 2: Hämsterviel Havoc

A small, red chipmunk-like experiment who is designed to create a matter-sucking black hole when he opens his wide mouth. He is able to retrieve the items he sucked in, returning Mertle's dolls he sucked up to her. His pod was used as a bracelet trinket before his activation. His one true place is working in construction sites, clearing up waste by sucking in the unneeded matter.


  • Black-Hole Belly: He sucks things into his mouth but he can give some of it back like Mertle's dolls.
  • Gonk: He has a wide yet flat-looking head compared to the other experiments.
  • Gravity Sucks: He can turn into a black hole, sucking up everything in its vicinity.
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In his debut episode, he had no tail. In "Checkers", he had the typical stumpy tail seen on several experiments.
  • Extreme Omnivore: He can eat anything using his black hole.
  • Mundane Utility: Now he uses his ability to clean up litter and debris.
  • Sequel Non-Entity: He does not appear in the Stitch! anime.
  • Unrealistic Black Hole: He can summon black holes at any time even when he's not in space. Also, they're not quite as powerful as actual black holes, and anything that goes into his black holes does not undergo spaghettification and can be retrieved.
  • Vacuum Mouth: His main function is to suck things into his mouth, even after redemption where he cleans up debris.
  • Volumetric Mouth: He can turn his mouth into a black hole and inhale anything like a vacuum cleaner.

    Yaarp (Experiment 613) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/613_yaarp.png
Voiced by: Jeff Bennett
Pod color: Yellow
Appearances: "Elastico", "Yaarp", "Spike", "Remmy",note  | Leroy & Stitch | Stitch!Stitch and the Planet of Sandnote 
Appearance in other media: Lilo & Stitch 2: Hämsterviel Havoc

A small, cyan lemur-like experiment with a single megaphone-like antenna on his head. He is designed to make a literally deafening sonic blast, unfurling his normally curled-up antenna to emit the blasts. Pleakley was sent out to capture 613 because he lacked ears, which made him immune to the experiment's sonic blasts; Pleakley also befriended and named 613 after saving him from a collapsing cave. His one true place is serving as an "alien invasion alarm" and a buzzer for the hula school. He also operated the scoreboard for the trivia contest in "Spike".


  • Bizarre Alien Biology: His horn is of the sound-producing definition and is able to curl up when not in use.
  • Bizarre Alien Locomotion: Cuter than most examples of this trope, he goes around by bouncing on his tail like Tigger.
  • Blue Is Heroic: He is turquoise and his one true place is a warning alarm at Lilo's halau.
  • Cute, but Cacophonic: He's small, blue, and fuzzy, but makes extremely loud noises from the horn on his head.
  • Demoted to Extra: In the anime, he only appeared through a distant cameo in Stitch and the Planet of Sand. He did make an appearance in an anime intro and shared a "Kung Fu Dragon Pleakley" segment with Sample, though, but those were Japanese only.
  • Gale-Force Sound: He can make sounds so loud that they knock people off their feet.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Subverted; he has four seemingly non-retractable arms but they're not what makes him dangerous.
  • Super-Scream: His power is to emit deafeningly loud noises through the horn-like appendage on his head.
  • Series Continuity Error: He accidentally appeared in the episode before his debut, already reformed. He also appeared in the E.A.R.W.A.X. fight in "Spike" despite not being part of the group, as he's only meant to appear in the trivia competition in the same episode.

    Splodyhead (Experiment 619) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/splodyhead_experiment_619.png
Voiced by: Frank Welker
Pod color: Blue (in The Series), Red (in Stitch!)
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch: The Series"Splodyhead", "Houdini", "Slushy", "Slugger", "Spike", "Ace"note  | Leroy & Stitch | Stitch! — "The Return of Amnesio", "Stitch Power",note  "New Town", "Shogun" (in pod form), "Dark-End"
Appearances in other media: Lilo & Stitch 2: Hämsterviel Havoc | Disney Stitch Jam 2note  | Big Hero 6note 

Also known as "Splody" for short, he is a small, red reptilian dragon-like experiment with six legs who fires hot plasma blasts from his lone nostril. His "one true place" is lighting tiki torches at the local luau.


  • Bioweapon Beast: Like most of the 6-series, but particularly noticeable in his case due to being based on a specific weapon (a Plasma Cannon).
  • The Cameo: In Big Hero 6, his image appears on a pillow in Fred's bedroom, making him the first of Stitch's cousins to appear in the Disney Animated Canon in some form.
  • Elemental Rivalry: Had one with Slushy (523), Splody's opposite in elemental power, where they had an epic fight against one another in Slushy's episode. They also started the fight during Pleakley's E.A.R.W.A.X. session in "Spike" when Slushy threw a snowball at Splody, who returned fire only for Slushy to bat it away and break out Spike in the process. They eventually resolved their issues with one another after seeing Pleakley successfully use hugging therapy on Spike, leading the elemental opposites to hug each other.
  • Evil Smells Bad: In the anime, his ability was modified by Hämsterviel to fire purple balls of a terrible odor. Said modified ability would be reversed so he would expel a more pleasant smell.
  • Inconsistent Coloring: Splody's pod is blue in his debut episode, but red in the anime.
  • Plasma Cannon: He is a living one, although the plasma he fires look like fireballs, not the green blobs we see throughout the franchise.
  • Playing with Fire: His main ability, although it's actually hot plasma that he fires.
  • Series Continuity Error: Jumba mistakenly referred to Splodyhead as Experiment 515 in "Slushy"; 515 is the number of Deforestator.
  • Wall Crawl: He was shown to have this ability much like Stitch.
  • Your Size May Vary: His size has been somewhat inconsistent in his appearances, most notably in "Spike" when in one scene, he appeared a lot bigger due to a layering error.

    Chopsuey (Experiment 621) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/621_chopsuey.png
"Who's superior now?"
Voiced by: Frank Welker
Pod color: Unknown
Appearance: Stitch: Experiment 626

A skinny, green koala-like experiment who is presumably an earlier prototype of either Stitch or Reuben. He has all of Stitch's abilities but is not as capable as his younger cousin.

Originally, 621 was sent on missions to collect DNA for experiment creation, but Jumba was disappointed with his results. During the events of the PlayStation 2 prequel video game Disney's Stitch: Experiment 626, 626 was given 621's mission and proved himself to Jumba to be better at DNA-collecting than 621. Criticized and neglected by Jumba, 621 then secretly collected DNA for himself and used it to mutate to a larger, stronger form. Unfortunately for him, he was defeated in battle by 626, who tricked 621 into being electrocuted. Gantu promptly arrested Jumba and the two experiments shortly thereafter.

621 never appeared in any part of the franchise outside of the Stitch: Experiment 626 video game, which was retconned by the events of Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch.note  Nevertheless, based on the events of Leroy & Stitch, he was eventually found and captured by Lilo and Stitch at some point before the film and given the name "Chopsuey", though it is not known what his "one true place" is or if he even still has his original design, function, and abilities.


  • Aliens Speaking English: He speaks fluent English with a very nasal voice like Stitch.
  • Evil Laugh: He randomly bursts into maniacal laughter.
  • Green and Mean: He has green fur, he's one of the main antagonists and bosses of the Stitch: Experiment 626 video game.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: He was very jealous of 626 and tried to prove himself to be the superior experiment over the younger experiment. It didn't work.
  • Flawed Prototype: Has Stitch's powers and abilities, but he's not as capable as him.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Has four arms, but they don't seem to be retractable.
  • No Name Given: In his only appearance as it was a prequel to the events of the original film. He was named by the time of Leroy & Stitch, however.
  • One-Shot Character: Only appeared in a Spin-Off prequel video game that was removed from canon after a sequel film came out.
  • One-Winged Angel: After his mutation, getting a stretched-out face with bulging bugged-out eyes, a wide chest with an even skinnier waist, longer arms with narrow upper arms and very thick forearms, longer legs with skinny thighs and thick lower legs, and longer spines (doubled from three to six), claws, and toes.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: He seeks his creator's approval despite Jumba being disappointed with his results.

Super Chef | Disney Tsum Tsum | Disney Magic Kingdoms | Disney Tsum Tsum Festival | Disney Getaway Blast | Disney Heroes: Battle Mode | Disney Emoji Blitz | Monsters at Work — "The Damaged Room"note  | Disney Speedstorm

A pink, female koala-like experiment and Stitch's Love Interest. She has the ability to convert rehabilitated experiments made before her back to evil by singing a siren song, though it has the reverse effect when said song is sung backwards. She originally worked for Gantu and Hämsterviel, but turned on them after meeting and later falling in love with Stitch, so Gantu captured her and took her away in retaliation. She was rescued — partially by Lilo and Stitch and partially by herself — in "Snafu". In the anime, she became a superstar pop singer.


  • Action Girl: She isn't as limited in capabilities as most of her predecessors. She knows how to fight, as seen when she busted herself, Stitch, and others out in "Snafu", and when she quickly took down four Leroy clones to protect Stitch in Leroy & Stitch.
  • Adaptational Jerkass: She became more short-tempered in the anime, getting angry at Stitch for petty reasons.
  • Affectionate Nickname: She and Stitch refer to each other as their "boojiboo", which is a term of endearment meaning "beloved" or "loved one" in their native Tantalog language. Reuben, who was more attracted by her looks, called her "Hotcakes".
  • Alien Hair: Her antennae vaguely resemble long human hair. She can use them like tendrils in lieu of a second pair of arms, but the only time they do something was in her debut episode where she uses one to push an out-of-reach button.
  • Aliens Speaking English: Not in The Series, as she spoke just two non-Tantalog words in "Snafu", but by the time of the anime she's become a pretty proficient English speaker, though she still speaks Tantalog most of the time. Justified considering that she probably needed to learn English in order to have her singing appeal to humans. This is also averted in Disney Speedstorm where Tara Strong reprises her role.
  • Ascended Extra: As explained below, she went from intended One-Shot Monster of the Week to becoming one of the most prominent characters of the franchise.
  • Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The Beauty of the Mid Six-Two experiments, being the most attractive, the best singer,note  and the only female of the three. That said, she has shown some of the other two parts of this trope in The Series and Leroy & Stitch.
  • Becoming the Mask: First pretended to love Stitch and be his new girlfriend, but his sheer kindness and siren song immunity caused her to actually fall in love with him and become his girlfriend.
  • Breakout Character: She was in only two episodes of The Series,note  one of them being the show's last regular episode, and in Leroy & Stitch she was only in the final battle against the Leroys and in the big family photo at the end. She was also not meant to appear ever again after her debut episode. Despite this, she is the most popular experiment besides Stitch himself that the franchise ever introduced. The anime featured her much more often, she has made several appearances in Disney's crossover video games including Disney Magic Kingdoms and Disney Speedstorm, and she nowadays gets more merchandise than Lilo.
  • The Cameo: And to also continue from the above trope, she even appears as a plush toy in the third episode of Monsters at Work.
  • Cute Monster Girl: Not that the other experiments aren't cute themselves, but her Stitch-like body has a few humanlike traits and we see very few females.
  • Character Development: She originally acted sweet to Stitch simply to sell him out to Hämsterviel, but later does have true affection for him.
  • Damsel in Distress: She's held captive by Gantu for much of The Series after her introduction. She's also played this role in some episodes of Stitch! and in a few of the licensed games, such as Stitch Jam.
  • Damsel out of Distress: She breaks out of her own containment capsule after Stitch gets himself captured and he confesses his love to her.
  • Defecting for Love: Thanks to Stitch being the first experiment to treat her kindly (helped by the fact that he's immune to her siren song), she ended up feeling guilty for her manipulation of him. As a result, she turned on Gantu and Hämsterviel by reverting the experiments back to good just before the cousins could beat up a weakened and reluctant-to-fight-back Stitch. Unfortunately, this decision did lead to her capture by Gantu at the end of her episode.
  • Distaff Counterpart: To Stitch. The only real differences between them are her color, her long antennae, and her markings, especially the white V-shaped chest marking that (fittingly) resembles angel wings and the back marking that (normally) looks like an upside-down heart.
  • Dude Magnet: She utilizes this to attract reformed experiments so she can revert them with her singing.
  • Ear Notch: She does not have any. However, some merchandise (even Funko Pop! vinyl figures of her) do give her Stitch's two asymmetrical notches, as if they're too lazy or too cheap to make new molds for her ears. With all that said, there is one pin that does intentionally give her one.
  • Evil Diva: Her song itself has evil repercussions. Also, yes, she is a diva; the anime shows quite well how her international and intergalactic fame has affected her.
  • Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: At first as she pretended to be sweet to take advantage of Stitch, but she drops the "demon" side later. This is also the basis for her name since Lilo named her in sarcasm (see Shout-Out below).
  • Flanderization: Angel actually did have a small bit of a diva personality in The Series, but the anime made it a defining aspect of her character.
  • Flat Character: The Series's version of Angel didn't have much of a defined personality other than being a pretty girl version of Stitch with a siren song who was initially antagonistic. Stitch! gave her a job that fits her abilities and the character flaws to go along with it.
  • Hair Substitute Feature: She has two long antennae that resemble human hair.
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: While not exhibited by her herself, this is the basis of her primary function, able to invoke a Face–Heel Turn in any experiment made before her (and Jumba) with a song, and can invoke a Heel–Face Turn in the same by singing it backward.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Used to work for Hämsterviel, but changed sides after realizing her feelings for Stitch.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: In her debut, although technically Gantu captured her moments after the experiments were freed and he has to blast Stitch in a net while their guard was down. She was later rescued.
  • Kissing Cousins: Although she's not actually directly related to Stitch beyond their similar appearances and sharing the same creator, since they are artificial lifeforms with their own unique DNA mixtures, and the "cousins" thing with the experiments are based on Hawaiian slang where it's used to refer to friends, not necessarily relatives. Still, they are in love, though tellingly, Stitch never calls or considers Angel a "cousin" to get around this problem.
  • Iconic Sequel Character: The most famous of Stitch's predecessors, but it took a long while to achieve this status. She didn't appear at all in the 2002 original film, was only hinted at through a mini-poster and a bonus feature included with 2003's Stitch! The Movie, officially debuted in the thirtieth aired episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series in January 2004, did not make her only other major appearance in the show until the penultimate aired episode in June 2006, finally became a recurring regular in the Stitch! anime that debuted in 2008 (whose English dub first aired in 2009), and eventually gained a steady stream of merchandise sold worldwide (including the United States, where the anime that she appears most frequently in had only a brief run) from The New '10s onward. She even makes video game appearances years after her debut.
  • Inconsistent Coloring:
  • Ironic Nickname: At first since Lilo gave 624 her name in sarcasm, although Stitch believed her name to be completely unironic before she actually reformed.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She may be a bit selfish and snobbish, but she cares for Stitch greatly.
  • Love at First Sight: Subverted at first; she caused this to Stitch but didn't truly have feelings for him until a day later.
  • Love Redeems: How she was reformed instead of Defeat Means Friendship. She realizes that she does have feelings for the dedicated, sweet-hearted Stitch, and decides to defy Gantu and Hämsterviel to save him.
  • Magic Music: Not quite magic, since this comes from an artificial alien lifeform and is known to work on only similar artificial alien lifeforms made before her (as well as her creator), but hearing a song like hers normally won't affect one's morality so suddenly.
  • Manipulative Editing: Due to her being reformed, Reuben had to trick her into singing to him (he and Stitch are the only experiments unaffected by her singing) so that he could record her voice and play it backward, turning the experiments tamed by Lilo evil again. Experiment 120 (Snafu) would ruin these plans sometime later.
  • Mascot: The de facto one of the experiments other than Stitch, considering she's usually the only one of the first 625 that Disney is willing to promote.
  • Messy Male, Fancy Female: The Fancy Female to Stitch's Messy Male. Stitch has spiked tufts of fur on his head and chest, while Angel's fur is smooth, with a white V-shaped marking on her chest. In addition, Stitch has notches in his slightly pointed ears and his retractable antennae are short with budded tips, while Angel's slightly rounder ears lack notches and her non-retractable antennae are long, curved, and smooth with rounded tips.
  • Morality Pet: She quickly establishes herself as the second one of these for Stitch (Lilo's the first, obviously) in her debut. He behaves a lot more politely whenever she's around him.
  • My God, What Have I Done?:
    • In her eponymous debut episode when Stitch is captured by the experiments she turned to evil.
    • Also in her first anime episode ("Angel's Flight") when she accidentally made Stitch evil again, eventually leading to him breaking the wind chime Yuna made for her grandmother, causing the human girl to snap at Angel for all the problems she caused during her visit.
  • No-Sell: Her siren song can turn any experiment evil, but if that experiment is created after her, they will be completely unaffected by it, though they may still compliment her beautiful singing nonetheless. However, the anime shows that it's (apparently) actually possible to convert experiments made after her to evil if it's performed with a different voice; when she got a head cold in the episode, her singing voice became croaky as she was singing her song repeatedly to entertain herself and Stitch on their date. The worse-performed but still-in-tune song affected Stitch and turned him to evil again.
  • Now Do It Again, Backwards: Singing or playing her siren song in reverse around her affected victims turns them good again.
  • Our Sirens Are Different: An alien genetic experiment siren who seduces other alien experiments made before her, singing her siren song to turn them to evil.
    Acoota chi-meeto igatta no mootah, nagga to nala itume tidookaTranslation
  • Pink Girl, Blue Boy: With Stitch given their fur colors.
  • Pink Means Feminine: She has pink fur and is girly, especially in Stitch!.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Well, not to the extent of her boyfriend as far as we know, but she is strong enough to break open containment capsules with only a headbutt. She's also strong enough to knock Stitch out with a headbutt.
  • Retractable Appendages: Does not seem to have these (her antennae are always exposed and she is too thin at the waist to have the extra arms), but she does have retractable claws. (Pay close attention to her first scene in her debut when she threatens Lilo.)
  • Satellite Love Interest: To an extent in that the main reason she was introduced was to give Stitch a love interest. The anime sanded down the "Satellite" part by giving her more of a personality.
  • Sequel Non-Entity: Despite that her popularity allowed her to gain more appearances in the anime, this did not follow through with Stitch & Ai.
  • Shout-Out: Her name is most likely a reference to the subject of Elvis Presley's "(You're the) Devil in Disguise", especially since Lilo named her "Angel" as sarcasm.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Although she did not intend to fall in love with him, Stitch's kindness is what won her over, although he is immune to her siren song. Compare to how she primarily acts around Reuben who behaves more like a sleazeball around her.
  • Story-Breaker Power: Not surprisingly she was Put on a Bus for most of The Series when she can do in one ten-second song what takes Lilo a whole episode. (Although that's not the real reason why she was taken out for so long.) Not so much in the anime, allowing more frequent appearances.
  • Suddenly Speaking: In the anime. In the original series, she only speaks Stitch's alien language, but she speaks English in the anime, albeit not as much as more fluent Stitch in that show.
  • Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: She looks like a version of Stitch with a very high-pitched voice, pink fur, long eyelashes, an hourglass figure, a heart-shaped marking on her back, and long antennae that look like hair.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: In the anime where she gains the personality of a vain, spoiled celebrity (due to becoming a popular singer in the years since Leroy & Stitch) and gets charmed by someone else at least three times (even though she always came back to him).
  • The Unintelligible: In the original series she only speaks in Tantalog and never speaks English once.
  • Use Your Head: Angel has a surprisingly strong headbutt for someone who was only made to be a siren. In the The Series episode "Snafu", she headbutts her capsule to shatter it open, then headbutts Stitch's capsule to free him, and then both do so to free Lilo and the other trapped experiments from their capsules. In the Stitch! anime episode "Angel's Flight", she headbutts Stitch after she accidentally made him evil again when she, coming down with an awful head cold, sang her song beside him with a croaky voice to knock him out cold and end his sudden rampage.

    Reuben (Experiment 625)

Voiced by: Rob Paulsen, Dave Wittenberg (Stitch!)
Voiced in Japanese by: Sōsuke Komori (most media), Kōji Ochiai (Lilo & Stitch: The Series season two, Stitch!)
Pod color: Blue
Appearances: Comic Zone: Lilo & Stitchnote  | Stitch! The Movie | Lilo & Stitch: The Series — Most episodes | Leroy & Stitch | "Stitch Meets High School Musical" | Stitch! — Most episodes and both New Specials
Appearances in other media: Lilo & Stitch 2: Hämsterviel Havocnote  | Disney Stitch Jam | Disney Stitch Jam 2 | Disney Tsum Tsumnote  | Disney Emoji Blitznote  | Disney Speedstormnote 

A chubby, golden-yellow marmot/koala-like experiment who is Jumba's last experiment before Stitch, and Gantu's sidekick. He has all the powers of Stitch (plus a much greater English fluency thanks to "advanced language programming") but is a lazy coward. He makes great sandwiches, though.


  • Adaptation Dye-Job: He's teal-colored in Comic Zone: Lilo & Stitch but was changed to golden-colored for the films and TV series to better differentiate him from Stitch.
  • Affably Evil: For an experiment designed to cause massive destruction (and one of Hämsterviel's employees), he's surprisingly laid-back and easygoing.
  • Aliens Speaking English: Unlike his cousin Stitch, he's perfectly fluent in English, speaking it with a Brooklyn accent. This is one of the very few advantages he has over his younger cousin, although the anime's English dub puts them on near-equal ground in English fluency. He is also implied to know several other Earth-based languages. It's justified in that he has "advanced language programming", though it's never explained why he has such programming and Stitch doesn't.
  • Appropriated Appellation: After a few attempts he wasn't proud of, he takes to Lilo's last name suggestion, Reuben.
  • Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The Brains of the Mid Six-Two experiments. Although he has the exact same strength as Stitch, his laziness negates the Brawn aspect, and he isn't as "cute" or attractive as the more popular Stitch or Angel (not to say that he isn't cute, though). But he's easily the Brains considering he's more fluent in English than Stitch and Angel (both of whom do not speak English as fluently), makes tons of snarky quips, knows a lot about the experiments before his time, and is able to use Awesomeness by Analysis the most effectively.note 
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: Lilo wins him over by naming him and actually befriending him.
  • Big Eater: Mostly of sandwiches, and he's not picky about what ingredients he puts in them.
  • Bioweapon Beast: Like Stitch, he's a genetic experiment meant to be an ultimate superweapon. Unlike Stitch, he's too lazy to use his powers properly.
  • Bookends: He is one of the first experiments to be reactivated since Stitch's creation (which happens in Stitch! The Movie), but the very last one to be rehabilitated and named (which happens in Leroy & Stitch).
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: He has all of Stitch's abilities, including super-intelligence, but not the motivation. Some episodes do show how clever he really is, such as figuring out Experiment 627's Achilles' Heel just by noticing his heavy laughter.
  • Bullying a Dragon: Often insults and otherwise antagonizes Gantu, who dwarfs him in size and is armed. Since 625 lacks the motivation to use his Stitch-like strength, he is thus often fried by a blaster or stomped on.
  • Canon Immigrant: He originally appeared in a series of Disney Adventures Comic Zone Prequels to the first movie.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: Unlike Gantu, who sees himself as the hero, Reuben calls himself and Gantu "the bad guys" in "Angel".
  • A Day in the Limelight:
    • Reuben stars in his own game, 625 Sandwich Stacker.
    • He's also the deuteragonist of Leroy & Stitch, playing an important role in helping Lilo reunite with Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley.
    • Stitch! gives him an third-season episode where he actually plays an active (for once) role of being a villain with "Reuben 2.0".
  • Deadpan Snarker: One of his main functions.
    Gantu (injured from his fight with X-601/Kixx): I will not be made a fool of!
    X-625/Reuben (immediately without even facing Gantu): Too late.
  • Deuteragonist: In Leroy & Stitch, where he gets his Heel–Face Turn thanks to Gantu abandoning him and Lilo giving him a name. He helps her out in rescuing Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley after they find out that the experiment they were talking to was not Stitch at all.
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: The prequel comics gave him teal fur, smaller eyes, a collar, less prominent buckteeth (they don't even stick out when his mouth is closed) and an even chunkier body. The later Lilo & Stitch: The Series-based comics that featured him changed him to better resemble his canonical animated counterpart but kept the teal fur.
  • Flawed Prototype: To Stitch. He has all the same powers and abilities as Stitch, but he's also extremely lazy and an incredible coward.
  • Freudian Excuse: He claims in the Grand Finale that the only reason he worked against Lilo and Stitch is because Lilo never bothered to try to help or even name him. There is some justification here if you've read the prequel comics; Jumba considered 625 a failure and frequently disparaged him... except for his sandwiches.
  • Friendly Enemy: Arguably towards Lilo and Stitch when he was one of their enemies in The Series, and had helped them out on occasions, although it's likely due to not caring to actually fight them.
  • Heel–Face Turn: In Leroy & Stitch after Gantu sets out on a small, two-man ship to break Hämsterviel out of prison (the second spot being for Hämsterviel), and leaves Reuben stranded on Earth. Unfortunately, this does not stick in the anime, in which he's back working for Hämsterviel and is slightly more proactive than before.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Gantu; even at the end of Leroy & Stitch, he reconciles with Gantu and finds his one true place as Gantu's first mate and galley cook.
  • Iconic Sequel Character: Although dwarfed in popularity by his immediate successor and predecessor, he is one of the major characters of the franchise and the most often seen experiment in the canon besides Stitch himself.
  • The Imp: He is just as powerful as Stitch, but he is never a real threat. He just spends most of his time making wisecracks (and sandwiches) and eating.
  • Inconsistent Coloring: Reuben's pod is blue in Stitch! The Movie, although it appeared as purple in some frames of that film. In the anime episode "Stitch's Birthday, Part One", when Reuben was dehydrated, his pod is white.
  • Informed Ability: A justified version: it has been stated that he has all the same powers as Stitch, but he is never seen using them because, from the start, Jumba explains that he's also a lazy coward. Finally ends in Leroy & Stitch, when Lilo finally convinces him to get off his lazy patookie and do something for himself.
  • Irony: He was in his one true place all along: by Gantu's side.
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: His name, which he didn't get until the last film. The Stitch! anime and other official Disney media released since usually use "Reuben" instead of his experiment number,note  and his costumed character also signs his autographs as "Reuben".note 
  • Lazy Bum: He'll get around to helping Gantu in the field once he's done eating sandwiches and watching TV.
  • The Load: He's only useful when it comes to sandwiches. Everything else? Yeah, no.
  • Lovable Coward: He's absolutely useless as a sidekick, but he's still an adorable-looking experiment.
  • Meaningful Name: He's named after a type of sandwich, the very food he loves. Also, since Reuben is behaviorally the most human-like experiment, his name is a more natural-sounding human given name, which he prefers over the sillier names Lilo gives the other experiments; 625 even rejected a few Punny Name suggestions from her before settling on "Reuben".
  • Minion with an F in Evil: Or really, "Minion Who Can't Be Bothered to Do Any Evil". Although Sloth—which he excels at being—is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, he can't be bothered to help out Gantu or Hämsterviel unless he's either forced to or gets some benefit for doing so.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Subverted; he has the retractable lower arms like Stitch does but is no real threat to anyone because he just doesn't care to be threatening.
  • Mundane Utility: He has extendable claws, but the first time we see them, he's using them like butter knives to spread some grape jelly on a sandwich.
  • No Name Given: He had this status (regarding names other than his experiment number) until he was named "Reuben" in Leroy & Stitch, although he was called "Sandwich Boy" by Lilo once in the episode "627".
  • Redemption Promotion: Once he decides to stop being lazy and help Lilo, he actually proves himself to be quite useful much like his successor. He even manages to repair Gantu's ship, which Gantu himself was incapable of doing.
  • Retractable Appendages: Revealed in Leroy & Stitch that he does have a lower pair of arms much like Stitch. Before that, an episode of The Series also reveals that he does have retractable claws.
  • Satiating Sandwich: Loves making these and is incredibly good at doing so, to the point that he was named after one.
  • Sequel Non-Entity: Despite his regular appearances throughout the first two TV shows, he did not show up or was even mentioned in Stitch & Ai.
  • Supreme Chef: Reuben loves making sandwiches and they prove to be very delicious. The problem is that he is obsessed with making them due to his programming from Jumba.
  • Took a Level in Badass: In Leroy & Stitch after Lilo encourages him to use his powers to save the galaxy.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Sandwiches; he loves anything that can be placed between two slices of bread.
  • Tuft of Head Fur: Subverted; those three things on his head that look like fluffy fur are actually really short antennae. Still, that didn't stop the Japanese from making them into an actual tuft of fur in an episode of the anime.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Gantu.
  • Vocal Evolution: A minor case; in Stitch! The Movie, Rob Paulsen gave Reuben a sort of low, husky voice. In The Series, however, Paulsen pitched his Reuben voice up a little and made it a slight bit more nasal.
  • You Are Number 6: He remained number 625 through The Series up until Leroy & Stitch when he was given the name "Reuben" by Lilo.

Voiced by: Chris Sanders, Ben Diskin (Stitch!, Stitch & Ai)
Voiced in Japanese by: Kōichi Yamadera
Voiced in Mandarin Chinese for Stitch & Ai by: Li Zhengxiang
Pod color: N/A; Stitch was never dehydrated into pod form.

A blue koala-like experiment who was designed to "destroy everything he touches", but ended up defying his programmed function after being adopted by Lilo Pelekai as her pet "dog". He is The Protagonist of the franchise.

    Experiment 627 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/experiment_627.png
Voiced by: Chris Sanders, Ben Diskin (Stitch!)
Pod color: Blue
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch: The Series"627", "Remmy",note , "Ace"note  | "Stitch Meets High School Musical" | Stitch! — "The Return of 627"
Appearances in other media: Disney Tsum Tsumnote 

Jumba's first experiment who was made using the limited technology he has on Earth. He activated this experiment after Stitch became egotistical from beating his experiment-catching record. 627 is more powerful than Stitch without any of the same weaknesses, and is so evil that he cannot be rehabilitated. Thus, he has no "one true place", and was dehydrated back into a pod at the end of his episode.


  • Achilles' Heel: His laughter, which can cause cataplexy if he laughs too much.
  • Always Someone Better: He is the evolution of Stitch; greater strength, higher intelligence, fewer weaknesses, and more powers than ever before.
  • Big Little Brother: Well, "cousin", but still 627 is taller and younger than Stitch.
  • Black Eyes of Evil: Oh, yes. His eyes are black and can't become good in the slightest.
  • The Bully: Really what his personality is in general. He could kill anything he pleases but doesn't because he finds torturing others more fun.
  • Combo Platter Powers: He has the abilities of many other experiments, not just having improved versions of Stitch's powers.
  • Evil Redhead: He has red fur and he is one of the few experiments who never become good.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: Has a deeper, gravely sounding voice compared to Stitch. Ben Diskin further exaggerates this in the anime, except in 627's duke disguise.
  • Ear Notch: One on each ear like Stitch, but they are symmetrical to one another near the tip.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Stitch, being specifically made by Jumba to stay evil and not ever be reformed.
  • Evil Laugh: Has a lower-pitched one in comparison to Stitch's.
  • Forehead of Doom: He is designed to be even more powerful than Stitch and has a large cone-shaped head.
  • For the Evulz: He loves demoralizing others, to the point that he will even ruin bad moments just because he can.
  • Giggling Villain: He is rather easily amused for an evil experiment; Jumba even says that he has an extra sense of humor.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Meant to have extra everything Stitch had. This includes an extra sense of humor, causing his laughter to inconvenience him.
  • The Juggernaut: Good grief, when he gave Stitch—who's designed to be this very trope—a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown...
  • Heel–Face Turn: Jumba designed 627 to defy this trope, making it impossible to rehabilitate him. Doesn't stop him from sort of doing so in the anime.
  • The Hyena: Laughs a lot with an extra sense of humor. Deconstructed as his laughter is also his Achilles' Heel; he goes into cataplexy and will collapse if he laughs uncontrollably.
  • Multiple Head Case: He has a retractable second head.
  • My Brain Is Big: He has a large, cone-shaped head (two, in fact) to match with his higher intelligence.
  • Nested Mouths: He can extend his jaws (with the tongue inside) out from his mouth.
  • Nigh-Invulnerable: Most likely more so than Stitch, though his laughter undermines this.
  • No Name Given: Since he could not be rehabilitated, Lilo never named him.
  • Olympus Mons: The most powerful experiment that Jumba ever created.
  • One-Shot Character: The only other appearances this experiment made in The Series was a cameo in Lilo's dream in "Remmy" (which is also the only time he is seen as "good") and the reuse of footage from his original appearance in "Ace". He would appear again in the anime, but it too became a one-time appearance within that show, although he also appears in "Stitch Meets High School Musical" as well (again, seen as "good").
  • One-Word Vocabulary: The only word he could say was "evil". He would gain a greatly expanded vocabulary in the anime.
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: In the anime, he tells Stitch this after saving his and Angel's lives.
  • Retractable Appendages: Has more of these than Stitch; he can gain four extra arms instead of just two, four spines (compared to Stitch's three) and another head, with each head having its own retractable antennae.
  • The Rival: To Stitch, at least in 627's only Western appearance, as the egotistical Stitch suddenly finds direct competition with this experiment in experiment hunting, only to find himself on the losing end. It took an unusual strategy for Stitch to exploit 627's weakness and defeat him.
  • Smug Super: In his original appearance, he tortured Stitch with a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown rather than just killing him, just to prove that he is better in every way.
  • Suddenly Speaking: In the anime, as Hämsterviel reprogrammed him to be able to speak. Quite eloquently, too.
  • Superior Successor: Designed to be a better (albeit worse) Stitch, having improved versions of his powers, none of his weaknesses, and some of the other experiments' abilities.
  • Superpower Lottery: Not only does he have improved versions of Stitch's powers, but he has a lot of powers that some other experiments have as well. And then some.
  • Villain Respect: To Gantu in The Series, judging by how easily he tends to obey him. It could be that 627 was intrigued by Gantu's ambitions.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Laughter. He has a sense of humor so immature that when Stitch makes a fool of himself on purpose, he laughs so hard that he faints.
  • Wicked Cultured: In his anime appearance, where he even gains a greater vocabulary.
  • You Are Number 6: He is the only activated experiment who retains his experiment number as a name. (Note that Experiment 628 was never activated.)

    Leroy (Experiment 629) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leroy_2.png
"All experiments captured."
Voiced by: Chris Sanders
Pod color: N/A; Leroy was never podded after his creation.
Appearances: Leroy & Stitch | Stitch & the Samurainote 
Appearance in other media: Disney Tsum Tsum

An evil version of Stitch created by Jumba, under the orders of Hämsterviel. Ignoring the Chinese experiments of Stitch & Ai, he's currently Jumba's latest experiment.


  • Ascended Fanon: Fans and fansites (including wikis) were calling Leroy "Experiment 629" for years before Stitch & the Samurai officially christened him with the number.
  • Conservation of Ninjutsu: The original Leroy can defeat Stitch in a battle, but the army of clones are unable to defeat the rest of the experiments, despite outnumbering them 80 to 1.
  • The Dragon: For Hämsterviel in Leroy & Stitch, usurping the role from Gantu.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Stitch.
  • Evil Doppelgänger: Not only does he looks like a red Stitch, but he can also shapeshift somewhat to perfectly resemble him.
  • Evil Redhead: He has red fur and like 627 he is one of the few experiments who never become good.
  • Evil Twin: Disney Tsum Tsum and some official promotional descriptions for his film describe him as this towards Stitch, since they have identical powers and Leroy was made (from the same 626 template, no less) so that Hämsterviel would have his own version of Stitch. Thus, it could be that Leroy is Stitch's only actual brother.
  • Fake Ultimate Mook: The clones despite looking intimidating, are extremely weak to the point of relying on a numerical superiority of 80 to 1 in order to defeat the other experiments.
  • Final Boss: The last experiment and opponent Stitch faces in the original Western Animation era of the franchise.
  • Flat Character: Being Stitch's Evil Counterpart is all there is to Leroy, as despite the fact that he is one of the main antagonists of Leroy & Stitch, he does not get any character development. You could almost take him out of the movie and replace him with Stitch clones since he doesn't contribute much despite sharing the title with Stitch.
  • Flight, Strength, Heart: All of Stitch's powers, plus he can instantly regrow his fur and change colors.
  • Good Colors, Evil Colors: He's a red, unreformed Stitch. Hämsterviel deliberately wanted Leroy colored red, because one, he hates the color blue, and two, he wanted an experiment that matches his red cape.
  • Identical Twin ID Tag: After Hamsterviel creates a clone army of him, the original is told apart from them by the captain's uniform he took from Stitch.
  • Ironic Name: Leroy's name means "King" or "The King" in French. His one weakness is "Aloha ʻOe", a song covered by Elvis Presley and programmed into him specifically through one of his records.
  • Me's a Crowd: Mass-produced by Hämsterviel soon after his creation.
  • Mooks: Leroy is a mass-produced version of Stitch.
  • No Name Given:invoked This was Inverted until June 2020; he was named by Hämsterviel, but not numbered. Jumba tried to number him 627, but Gantu reminded him that he already made Experiment 627. Most fans gave Leroy the number 629, while some Japanese and Disneyland Paris merchandise give him the number 628, except that there was already an Experiment 628 made, too, but no one in the franchise knows that besides Jumba, who's likely also forgotten about 628. In 2018/2019, Disney Tsum Tsum reaffirmed the lack of a number in both the Japanese and Global versions for a Lilo & Stitch: The Series-based event. This flip-flopping of Leroy's experiment number in official Disney media finally ended in June 2020, when a side story of the Feudal Japan-set manga Stitch & the Samurai was released exclusively through the Japanese version of the mobile game and gave Leroy the title of Experiment 629, though Disney, for whatever reason, did not translate his part of the side story into English. It took until April 2021 for Lilo & Stitch fans in English-speaking regions (including the U.S.) to get their confirmation of Leroy being 629 through a licensed sticker book of all things.
  • One-Shot Character: In the main canon, he appeared only in Leroy & Stitch. His only other official appearance in any Disney media since (outside of merchandise) was in Disney Tsum Tsum for a September 2018 event in the Japanese version and a January 2019 event in the Global version. He eventually made his second-ever in-franchise appearance on June 1, 2020,note  almost fourteen years since his debut, in the manga Stitch & the Samurai, the same time that he was made playable in the Japanese version of Disney Tsum Tsum.note 
  • Our Clones Are Different: Leroy is only related to his blue doppelgänger Stitch in that he's a new experiment who was created based on Stitch's template. That being said, Hämsterviel uses a machine which creates an instant clone of the subject in a flash of lightning at the press of a button to clone Leroy. Many times.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Played with. He looks exactly like Stitch when he turns blue, but can't really pull off the act.
  • Technically a Smile: When he was disguised as Stitch during Lilo's video call, he fakes a smile. Considering that Stitch's teeth are not the best to look at, Leroy's "smile" comes across as really disturbing.
  • Tom the Dark Lord: Is christened the name "Leroy" by Hämsterviel, something almost everyone scoffs at.
  • Theme Music Power-Up: Inverted; as a fail-safe added by Jumba, if Leroy hears "Aloha ʻOe", he will shut down. This also applies to his clones.
  • The Unintelligible: He mainly speaks in Tantalog, the same gibberish-sounding language Stitch and the experiments speak.

Stitch's Sudden Rampage

In the Stitch! episode "Angel's Flight", Stitch and Angel are enjoying their time together, with Angel singing her siren song, "Acoota Chi-Meeto". Normally, her song doesn't affect Stitch the same way that it affects experiments made before her, but her developing head cold makes her beautiful singing voice become hoarse. Her changed voice somehow DOES affect Stitch, unintentionally brainwashing him to follow his evil destructive programming and go on a rampage around town on Izayoi Island. He only stops when Angel headbutts him, which knocks him out cold. "Love hurts" indeed, Pleakley.

How well does it match the trope?
