A self-proclaimed "evil genius."

Story

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

While serving time in a galactic prison for the creation of Experiment 626, Jumba witnesses Terra fight off several Unversed. Dr. Jumba is later set free by Terra, allowing the two to go find Experiment 626 together. Dr. Jumba sets his creation free after finding him locked in a pod in the middle of the gun chamber. When released, Experiment 626 steals Terra's Wayfinder, while Jumba laughs and explains that Experiment 626 is meant to be evil and malevolent. However, despite the description given by the experiment's creator, Experiment 626 returns the charm to Terra. Experiment 626 then escapes the chamber, and Dr. Jumba activates another of his creations, Experiment 221, to combat Terra. The Keyblade wielder defeats Experiment 221 Upon 221's defeat, again shocking its creator. Alarms begin to sound immediately afterwords, while prompts Terra to flee from both Deep Space and Dr. Jumba.

After Terra's episode in the world, Aqua visited Deep Space. She comes across the Grand Councilwoman, who instructs Aqua to assist her by capturing Dr. Jumba and Experiment 626. Though Aqua finds and is assisted by the latter in battle against Gantu, she does not encounter Dr. Jumba.

Appearance

Dr. Jumba is a large alien with dull purple skin on his dorsal side and pale pink skin on his ventral side. His head is rather bulbous and he has a large nose and mouth. His proportionally small, floppy ears seem to be on the sides of his neck. Dr. Jumba has four eyes; two large eyes and two small eyes, all four of which have pale yellow sclera. He possesses three short, hair-like follicles on the top of his head, and he has four-fingered hands. His feet apparently lack toes. Because Dr. Jumba was imprisoned prior to Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, he wears a prison jumpsuit covered in horizontal dark and light blue stripes.

Personality

Dr. Jumba wishes to see his experiments' success, and through them achieve glorification from others; to be regardedas the evil genius he believes himself to be. However, Dr. Jumba becomes livid when he or his experiments are called a failure. He would rather tinker with objects around him than become physically active, hence the large exterior.

Origin

In the 2002 Disney film Lilo & Stitch, Jumba is brought before the Grand Council on Planet Turo to judge his latest creation: Experiment 626. The Grand Councilwoman dubs his experiment a monster, and Jumba is consequently placed under arrest by Captain Gantu. Dr. Jumba is later sent to Earth to reclaim his recaped experiment, though he fails. Instead, Dr. Jumba finds a new niche in Hawaii with a little girl, Lilo, and her older sister Nani.
