Torts

Torts is a Glorp Corp Mixel.

Personality
Despite being the slowest of his tribe, Torts still enjoys running around and goofing off. Often with a huge smile on his face, Torts is a very cheerful Mixel. He makes friends easily and enjoys cute things, and is always jolly and ready to cheer everyone up.

Physical Appearance
Torts is mostly lime green in color. His body also acts as his head and is slightly tube-like in shape. There are darker green stripes on his sides and a green spine on his back. He has two dark green antenna- or pigtail-like protrusions on the top of his head. He has a nose-like beak and eyes on each side. In his mouth are two fangs that point downwards. Attached to his sides are two black sleeve-like objects that hold the slime that is part of his hands. His legs are grey, short, and bowed. His feet are large lime geometric shapes with darker green rectangles on their insides.

Ability
Torts can shoot gloopy, green slime from his hands. The goo can stick to the ground, causing a sticky pool that sticks Nixels to the ground.

Early life
Little is known about Torts' 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 is seen adoring Scorpi until Glurt scares him. Later on, after Scorpi and Glurt Murp, he and the rest of the Glorp Corp and Spikels go after the Murp. He Mixes with Footi to try catching the Murp, but the Murp slimes them off. After Glomp and Hoogi fail to capture the Scorpi & Glurt Murp, he skips away and the others go to the Magic Tent. He and the rest then climb the rafters to see the Murp on the other side of the rafters. Before Glomp could say they are out of Cubits, Mesmo shows up with a Cubit. He and Mesmo mix and successfully capture the Murp. However, Magnifo's trick breaks the rafters and all of them fall into Magnifo's top hat. He and Mesmo un-mix, along with the Scorpi & Glurt Murp, forming a pyramid that ends up toppling onto Magnifo. ("Murp Romp")

When Glomp was sick with a cold, Torts tried to help cheer his brother up. ("Glomp's Gooey, Sneezy Cold!")

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