All Hail the mighty Cleavil!

Clarissa, Griff and Grillo finally have an arch-villain! As you can see from some of my previous posts, I've been developing her for a little while. But I finally feel like I've finalized her look.

Her name is Cleavil. She is an Intermarinian from the the planet Cleft. Intermarines are an amphibious race. They spend most of their time on land, but they have a limited capacity to absorb oxygen from water and can remain submerged for several hours at a time.

Cleavil: and Arch-nemesis is born.



Cleavil is the leader of the Tactical Inter-Galactic Lactic Extracting Syndicate (TIGLES). Ostensibly it exists as a giant milk collection and delivery service across the universe, collecting milk from various lactating creatures in the universe, and then selling it to the weird races that enjoy that sort of thing. This is, naturally, just a cover, it's real purpose is far darker.

TIGLES real interest in 'milking' is on a far larger scale. What it actually does is finds new planets few people, if any, know about and then breaks them down into their most basic chemicals and minerals. It then sells this ill-gotten planetary material on the black-market. In this way it wipes out entire worlds in a very short time, killing untold numbers of unique and undocumented species of living creatures.

Clarissa, a space explorer whose job it is to discover these new species, knows it's up to her to show the universe what TIGLES really is getting up to. Naturally, as the head of TIGLES, Cleavil  has made it her life's mission to capture Clarissa, and stop the truth getting out.

  1. Somehow she reminds me of Ursula

  2. That's cool, Ursula was a great villain, so I'll take it as a compliment. I'm hoping Cleavil will be a bit sexier though;)

  3. Oddly enough (and maybe it's just the expression on her face), she reminds of Ursula as well...with the hair from one of the Kim Possible outer space baddies (whose name I can't recall).

  4. Interesting to know. I'm glad I got the villain part of her right though. Would be interested to see the Kim possible baddie some time;)
