Volsan

Volsan or The Sultan is a yellow Yurble introduced on October 15, 2006. He is a promotional character for General Mills' cereal and doesn't appear in any other context. Therefore, some parts of his story are rather vague.

What is known is that Volsan has spent his entire life searching for the location of a magical lost city, because it is said to be filled with valuable items and unimaginable riches. However, time is running out for the Sultan to gather the information he needs to solve the mystery of the lost city. The pieces to a secret map to the city have been scattered around the globe and Volsan needs help assembling them.

What is left in the dark is of what Volsan is the Sultan, what city he is looking for (the focus lies on the treasure it holds) and what is meant with "time is running out". However, the Volsan Plushie states he is a "desert sultan", meaning that his realm lies in a desert, possibly the Lost Desert. Similarly, it can be concluded from the map that the city he is looking for also is located in a desert, again possibly the Lost Desert. Still, Volsan's story only serves as an introduction to a quest in which users (Canadians only) are asked to help him find the missing twelve map pieces. Additionally, users can also feed their pets for free or enter virtual codes found in the cereal boxes in order to receive small, random prizes.
