Tabaqui is a highly intelligent and extremely clingy lemur whose power is to increase the mass of anything. He was born in the great jungle of Rhu and takes care of his mother's hotel with her.

Distinctive traits

Clingy

Tabaqui is extremely tactile and extremely clingy to an almost unhealthy extent, perching on people's heads to greet them, holding on to their arms or legs, and his striped tail is always wrapped around somebody giving a tight squeeze.

He never lets go, and feels extremely tense when he's forbidden physical contact of any kind. Above all, he loves it when others spontaneously show him affection. He go to people he doesn't even know to get a good hug. He's absolutely convinced that being cuddly with people brings out the best in them, and really seeks to make them feel comfortable for nothing in return.

So, he's very invasive, sticks his tongue out and boops people on the snout for fun. The only thing he doesn't like is having his tail pulled.

Relationship

His mother

Tabaqui is close to his mother and lives with her, taking care of almost all physical tasks as his mother has chronic health problems.

Level of power

Young genius - Tabaqui is a genius, he has an almost photographic memory, great creativity and automatically makes deductions based on details he couldn't explain without sounding like a madman. As a result, he prepares himself for almost anything, and you shouldn't ask him too many questions about the whys and wherefores.

Extreme agility - Tabaqui is a lemur who spends his time in the trees or perched somewhere. His years of growing up in the jungle have given him absolutely perfect balance, great stealth and great endurance. But that's not so fantastic for a lemur, even if Tabaqui is overflowing with energy.

Gravity generation - His power is to increase the mass of things up to about 15 tons.

Beastly strength - Tabaqui's strength isn't particularly great for his species. Like all animals, compared to humans he has beastly strength, he can twist steel with his bare hands, leap hundreds of meters and lift several tons, and his blows have the force of a grenade.

Quotes

Marlowe: You shouldn't look for problems around a skunk.

Tabaqui snickers, his ears wiggle happily, and his tail gently wag around Marlowe's neck instead of wrapping all the way around it like it was before.

Tabaqui: Lemme squish you, you're really soft!

Marlowe: I don't even know you.

Tabaqui presses his snout against Marlowe's.

Marlowe: I'm Marlowe, I already told you. Get off me.

Tabaqui: I don't wanna. He sticks out his tongue and boops Marlowe's nose.
