Clink, also known as Experiment 086, is an illegal genetic experiment created by Jumba Jookiba and a character in the Lilo & Stitch franchise. He is designed to capture and confine enemies inside of him.
Background
Physical appearance
Clink is a big, green mouthless crab-like experiment with two stalked, lime-green eyes, six legs, two large claws, and a container window on his chest.
Powers and abilities
Clink can trap his targets in the holding tank in his stomach by splitting in half and joining together again around the target in his holding cell tank in his stomach. When split, each half of Clink apparently has a separate mind.
Weaknesses
When tied up Clink loses control of his targets.
Appearances
Lilo & Stitch: The Series
Experiment 086 was the 86th genetic experiment created by Jumba with Hämsterviel's funding. He was designed to capture and confine enemies in a holding tank in his stomach. 086 and the other first 625 experiments were deactivated and smuggled to Earth by Jumba during his mission to capture Experiment 626.
All of the experiment pods were released and scattered across the island of Kauai.
In "Skip", 086 was used to capture rogue experiments in an alternate future where Hämsterviel ruled Earth. He captured Stitch and Skip and brought them to Gantu. He was later tied up by Lilo and Jumba, freeing Stitch and Skip.
At an unknown point in the original/current timeline, 086 was presumably activated, captured and named Clink.
Leroy & Stitch
Despite not physically appearing, the first 624 experiments, presumably including Clink, were rounded up by Leroy and taken to a stadium to be destroyed. However, Lilo, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Reuben and Gantu arrived before the experiments could be destroyed.
It is unknown whether or not Clink participated in the following battle between the experiments and the Leroy clones.
The Leroys soon gained the upper hand in the battle, but were defeated when Lilo, Stitch, Reuben, and several other experiments performed the song "Aloha ʻOe", which caused the Leroy army to shut down due to the original Leroy's fail-safe.
Trivia
- "Clink" is slang for "prison", which makes this experiment's name very befitting.
- Clink was activated off-screen.
- Clink is one of the rare experiments to have sclerae and pupils instead of solid black eyes, the others being Skip, Bragg, Nosox, Mr. Stenchy, Mrs. Sickly, Thresher, Tippy, Slobber, and four unconfirmed experiments.
- Clink, Huggo, and Thresher are the only known experiments with stalked eyes, a trait common in the invertebrates that all three are inspired by.
- Clink, Bugby, and Plasmoid are the only known experiments that are hexapods. Interestingly, all three are different types of arthropods (crustaceans, insects, and arachnids respectively).
- Clink, Shortstuff, Ploot, Gotchu, and two unconfirmed experiments are the only known experiments that have claws/pincers. Interestingly, all four official experiments have characteristics similar to crustaceans.
- Clink is the only experiment to debut and appear in an alternate timeline dimension created by another experiment. Interestingly, Clink and Skip's numbers are very close to each other: 086 and 089.
