Tentro

Tentro is a Flexer Mixel.

Personality
Tentro is a very strong and smart Mixel. Despite these powerful strengths, he has some very horrible and serious confidence issues. He is a Mixel of few words and emotions, and has a tendency to stick to the sidelines. However, he knows how to have fun, and when he gets into something, he can grow enthusiastic and happy.

Physical Appearance
Tentro has a black rectangular body with a grey base and orange rectangles, an eye, and a short, black mustache-like tentacle on each side. On the top of his head is a tapering orange cone-like shape. He has four orange tentacles at his base with a grey stripe on the base and middle of them and four lighter orange suckers on each. His jaw is orange, squarish, and has three teeth that point upwards. His eyelid color switches between dark grey and orange variously.

Ability
His leg-tentacles can stretch to long lengths and act like whips to attack very quickly but sadly his lack of confidence weakens that a little.

Early life
Little is known about Tentro's early life. However, he managed to secure a job at the Hamlogna Conveyer Belt in the past.

First adventures
At a party, he managed to get kidnapped by the Nixels, and had to be rescued to help rescue the other Mixels. ("Calling All Mixels") During his shift at the Hamlogna Conveyor Belt with Lunk, Zaptor cranked up the speed of their machine, forcing the two of them to Mix in order to keep up with the orders. ("Hamlogna Conveyer Belt Madness")

He was invited to Balk's birthday party. He was running late enough to help out Lunk in getting there by Mixing. ("Elevator")

Further adventures
During the annual Mix Festival, he was Nixed by the Mega Nixel Mixel Nixer, but was later returned to normal. ("Epic Comedy Adventure") While exercising with Teslo in Mixel Park, he ended up slimed by the Scorpi/Glurt Murp. ("Murp Romp")

Tentro was one of the chosen Mixels to carry one of the Mixamajig keys. (A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig)

In-Booklet code

Trivia

 * His tentacles are unusually short. Because of this, he uses his legs to flex and stretch instead. However, his tentacles are still usable as arms, as well. The only times he uses them are in Murp Romp and A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig.
 * His head is similar to Magnifo's hat in his LEGO form.
 * He and Teslo sport outdated aerobic gear when the two exercise together.
 * He is able to do an impression of a robot. His pupils seem to turn square when doing this.
 * Despite his reputation for not being confident, he does not seem to show this trait often and even says to Lunk that they can make it in time for Balk's party in Elevator.

Name and basis
Tentro's name comes from "tentacle".

His design is based on a squid.

Voice
In the TV series, and where sound clips are used, Tentro's voice is provided by Phil LaMarr.

Elevator is the first and so far only episode where Tentro actually speaks. Whenever he speaks, he extends "I"-based sounds, which makes them sound like they are springing; fitting his elastic abilities.

Early development
Tentro was originally named Flexi. He is often mistakenly referred to by this name, as in various descriptions for Hamlogna Conveyer Belt Madness, as well as the LEGO Club Magazine May/June 2014 issue.

Reveals
Tentro was first initially teased as an orange silhouette on the display art for the initial reveal of Mixels Series 1 at San Diego Comic-Con International 2013.

Tentro appeared with the rest of Series 1 through 3 at Toy Fairs in late January and early February 2014.

Content
Tentro debuted in the TV series on June 5, 2014 in Hamlogna Conveyor Belt Madness, while his LEGO set officially became available on June 1st with the rest of Series 2.

Tentro also appears in the mobile app game Calling All Mixels, released on March 4, 2014 for iOS and April 2, 2014 for Android.
