Zorch

"Me no like you."

- Seismo to Zorch

Zorch is an Infernite Mixel.

Personality
Zorch is thought to be the most rude, annoying, and wild Mixel, and the people that think that are right. Zorch is very crazy and likes to bother others for fun, often pranking Mixels and even his own brothers. He makes fun of the Cragsters for their lack of intelligence. Zorch isn't very caring and is nowhere near helpful, although he might help out others when they need it just to manipulate them.

Physical Appearance
Zorch is mostly dark red. He has a small head with a well-defined lip with three teeth sticking upward from it. He has two large eyes on either side of his head, with two thick disembodied eyebrows floating off of them. He has a tapering red neck line that connects to a widening dark red body. He has slender red arms with red pincer hands. His legs are long and red with light grey cuffs on his ankles, and light red feet with a dark red rectangular toe on each. His back is red and has jet boosters that are often shooting out bursts of flames.

Ability
The back of his body has jet boosters, which can give him incredible speed.

Early life
Little is known about Zorch's early life. However, at some point, he managed to gain a love of pranking and secured a job as a mailman.

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") He managed to prank Vulk by spanking him with a towel and causing him to spin out. When he saw Seismo struggling to get a coconapple from a tree, he suggested they Mix to get it. Even though Seismo was afraid and unwilling, he still did it, creating the Seismo & Zorch Mix. He went out of control, knocking over the other Cragsters and causing an explosion in Flain's lava hot tub. As Seismo voiced his disdain towards him, the coconapple fell out from the tree, knocking him out, and Zorch ate it for himself. ("Coconapple")

He was part of a fight for the last cookironi and managed to retrieve it from Krader, only to lose it to Shuff. He and the other Infernites Maxed to fight against the Cragsters Max and Electroids Max for it. In his dizziness, he accidentally lands on the cookironi, breaking it. When everyone sees a Nixel with a whole box to himself, they all give chase. ("Cookironi")

He Maxes with Flain and Vulk to help unclog the lava shower's pipes. ("Hot Lava Shower")

On one of his delivery routes, he had a Teddy Butterfly to deliver to Shuff, but purposely kept missing him. Eventually, he gets bowled over by the Cragsters Max and gives it to him in the end. ("Mailman")

He intially refused to play rockball, but later joined in, Mixing with Shuff to play in the newly-created game Mixelball. ("Rockball") He was an attendant to Balk's birthday party, and managed to be the last one in the elevator, taunting Lunk for his misfortune. ("Elevator")

Further adventures
He was an attendant at the annual Mix Festival, and managed to get Nixed by the Mega Nixel Mixel Nixer, though the effects were later reversed. ("Mixed Up Special: Epic Comedy Adventure")

Zorch was one of almost all the Mixels that searched and fought for the Mixamajig. ("A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig")
