Vulk

Vulk  is an Infernite Mixel.

Personality
Vulk is dim-witted, but lovable. He often makes mistakes, and he is very clumsy, but his lovable personality often makes him forgiven. He is known to love jokes, and is helpful and friendly to all Mixels. He is a little bit soft-spoken and his voice is often a little quiet, but he is still a reliable Mixel.

Physical Appearance
Vulk is mostly red. He has a small head with well-defined lips that have three fangs pointing upwards. He has a stocky body that tapers downwards. He is cycloptic, so he has a single eye. On top of his head are two black cat-like ears. His arms are light grey and fairly long, with grey hands with three burning orange fingers on each. His legs are light grey and fairly short, with tall red feet with two dark red toes on each foot.

Ability
His fingers can light whatever they touch on fire. If clapping, he can create an explosion.

Early life
Little is known about Vulk's early life.

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 was the victim of one of Zorch's pranks, in this case, being spanked by a towel. Zorch made him spin out before he could retaliate. ("Coconapple")

He fought with other Mixels for a single Cookironi, managing to get it away from Shuff, only to lose it to Zaptor. Eventually, he and the other Infernites Maxed to defend it from the Cragsters Max and Electroids Max, only for the Cookironi to end up breaking in the confusion. However, they then spied a Nixel with a whole box to himself, and all gave chase. ("Cookironi") During a lava shower, the pipes managed to clog. He went to Flain and Zorch for help, as Teslo and Krader were set to come over for ice cream later. Flain suggested they Max, and they managed to fix the pipes by blowing out the clog. This made it travel through the pipes to burn Teslo's mouth and Krader's rear, who were both using the water system at the time. They ended up confronting Vulk, and he made up for it by giving them ice cream. ("Hot Lava Shower")

He and Zaptor once came across a pothole on the road after Zaptor fell into it while telling jokes. Vulk managed to get pushed into it a few times thanks to Zaptor's cluelessness, but gave the suggestion that the two of them create a Mix to fix it. They managed to fix the pothole, but destroyed the environment in the process. ("Pothole")

He was at a party that Flain and Krader accidentally destroyed with a Mix. ("Murp")

He was hesitant to join in on a game of Rockball, claiming that he was "busy". He eventually ended up mixing with Seismo and joining in after the game Mixelball was created. ("Rockball")

After Slumbo got ice cream in his barbecue, he was at first angry, but ended up finding the ensuing combination delicious. He ended up Mixing with him to create Bar-B-Cubes and set up a roadside stand to sell them, competing with Krader and Volectro. Gobba ended up their first customer, and they gave him free samples, but each stand kept competing for his business. This ended up overloading Gobba with too many free samples, causing him to fill up without buying anything. ("Bar-B-Cubes")

He was a judge at a talent competition and ended up giving Gobba and Kraw a negative vote. ("Vaudeville Fun")

He was one of many invitees to Balk's birthday party. ("Elevator")

Further adventures
At the annual Mix Festival, Vulk was the DJ for the festival. He ended up getting nixed by the Mega Nixel Mixel Nixer, but was eventually brought back to normal. ("Epic Comedy Adventure")

He was the sole attendant to the Wiztastics' magic show, and managed to make Magnifo happy with a single clap. ("Murp Romp")

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