Nurp-Naut

"And my name is Nurp...(switches head)...Naut! Hehehe!"

- Nurp-Naut

Nurp-Naut (infant side Nurp, elder side Naut) is an Orbiton Mixel.

Personality
Nurp-Naut has two personalities: Nurp, his two-eyed side, has the mind of an innocent toddler, and Naut, his cycloptic side, has the mind of a wise elder. Naut is very smart, but Naut suffers from forgetfulness that hinders this ability. He is also sometimes accident-prone. Nurp has a tendency to act like a spoiled brat when he does not get his way, and Naut has the tendency to fib on certain situations; something that Nurp will quickly call him out on along when fighting with each other sometimes.

Physical Appearance
Nurp-Naut has a white body with a black collar in the middle, and two golden triangular parts on both side. He has yellow-green arms with small golden hands, and a yellow-green underbite with two teeth pointing up. He has a grey face with one dopey eye, and a white highlight surrounding the head, and two points with red tips, and a black antenna. He has two white feet with one yellow-green toenail on each. He also has grey eyelids, and a set of two eyes and lights at the back of his body.

Abilities
Nurp-Naut can fly with his jetpack. In his tantrum fits, Nurp's voice can grow to near-demonic levels of deepness. During these, when he bangs his fists, he can send out shock waves that cause large objects to lose their gravity. He has the ability to give any Mix that he is in more than one personalty and voice.

Early life
Nurp-Naut lived with two personalities, and got into plenty of accidents.

During bedtime, Nurp demanded Rokit to tell him a bedtime story. So, he told him the story of the Glowkies, scaring him. As luck would have it, the Glowkies visited just after, causing the Orbitons to launch into a botched mission to defend themselves.

First adventures
During an abduction of the Infernites via their Ship-Space, he found himself as part of a Max battle to defend himself, though he and his brothers later befriended the Infernites and introduced himself and his brothers to them. While giving a tour of Orbitopia, Nurp interrupted Naut, calling him out on lying about the safety of the dome. When Nurp threw a tantrum over not getting Crater Tots and being forced to take a nap, he ended up causing a series of events that shattered the dome.

At the welcome picnic, Nurp happily supplied Oxy-Juice at it and ended up Mix with Meltus to rescue it from a Nixel.

When it seemed like the Glowkies were attacking, he teamed up with Burnard to defend himself. However, once everything was cleared up, he joined them for a cave rave.

When Flamzer's story revealed him not existing in it, Naut switched to Nurp and began to cry. ("Mixel Moon Madness")

Further adventures
At one point in time, Nurp-Naut joined Globert and Burnard in their Ship-Space to explore Outer Space. ("Mixed Up Maze")

Nurp-Naut had also attended a special convention with his Orbiton brothers, fellow alien tribe the Glowkies, and new friends, the Infernites. At it, he competed in quite a few events. ("Mixels Convention Craze")

Nurp-Naut was one of many Mixels who were forced to outrun the Nixelstorm and help shut it down. ("Mixels Rush")

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

LEGO Shop product description
See both sides of life with two-faced Nurp-Naut!

''Two-faced Nurp-Naut is both the baby and the elder of the Orbitons tribe. This split personality has one face with the innocent eyes of a toddler, and another with the all-seeing cyclops eye of a know-it-all elder. And if he wasn’t so forgetful, his flashes of wisdom might be more use to his tribe mates. It’s lucky Nurp-Naut has a helmet, too, because that spinning head often causes this accident-prone Mixel to spin out of control and bonk his head on moon rocks!''

Trivia
Nurp= Naut=
 * He is very similar to Good Cop/Bad Cop, a character from The LEGO Movie, another LEGO theme, as they both have two split personalities that change by spinning their heads around, and they both have a tendency to argue with their own personalities. They both also have separate names for their personalities.
 * His personalities, as well as others, treat his opposite personalities as separate entities.
 * His jaw is placed much lower on his body in his LEGO figurine than on his animation model. This is likely because of his helmet getting in the way. Also, strangely, his jaw is black in his LEGO model while it is lime in the animated model.
 * His jaw is black in his set possibly because it was meant to be his body.
 * Despite having a lower jaw, he has no visible mouth. Instead, his jaw simply moves up and down when he speaks.
 * His spacesuit appears to be a separate article of clothing from his body. The white section of his spacesuit somewhat resembles a diaper, possibly in reference to Nurp being a baby.
 * An early piece of fan art from a third grader posted by Miranda Dressler labeled him as "Satbingle", but was scribbled out and replaced with Nurp-Nuat. [sic]
 * Nurp is shown to be afraid of the dark, similar to Volectro and Zaptor.
 * Only Nurp is technically playable in Mixels Rush, as the Naut side of Nurp-Naut's head is never seen.
 * Naut has a Yiddish accent, a common stereotype of old men.
 * Naut's name is continually misspelled as "Nuat", often by the people working on the show.

Early development
Nurp-Naut's preliminary artwork showed his one larger eye. However, it is still used on the LEGO site, but not on the physical packaging.

Name and basis
Nurp-Naut's name is a pun on the word "astronaut".

He has a jetpack, and a space helmet, which are both similar to what real astronauts use.

Voice
In the TV series, and where sound clips are used, Nurp-Naut's voices are provided by Justin Grollman for Nurp and Rodger Bumpass for Naut.

Real-life history
Nurp-Naut was first revealed as a character in the Mixels franchise on July 24, 2014 at San Diego Comic-Con International. Both his LEGO set and cartoon artwork were shown. Alongside him were Burnard of the Infernites and Globert of the Glowkies.

Nurp-Naut reappeared with the rest of Series 4 through 6 at Toy Fairs in late January and early February 2015.

Nurp-Naut debuted in the TV series on March 9, 2015 in Mixel Moon Madness, while his LEGO set officially became available on February 1 with the rest of Series 4.
