Dr. Frank Sloth is an evil scientist bent on the destruction of Neopets and Neopia. After the Space Faerie destroyed his mass mutation ray in the Arrival of Virtupets plot, and left his prized space station, Virtupets drifting in orbit, Sloth went into hiding, distributing Transmogrification Potions, only occasionally getting involved with the rest of Neopia.
A plot, called The Return of Doctor Sloth, was cancelled in favour of the Hannah and the Ice Caves plot.
Dr Sloth sometimes masquerades around Neopia as The Happiness Faerie. Like Jelly World, this is an inside joke in that despite The Happiness Faerie being poorly disguised with cardboard wings, no one can quite put their finger on who the Faerie is similar to.
His greatest achievements were the enslavement of the Grundos, an alien-like race, and his creation of the Transmogrification Potions, which change a Neopet into a mutated version.
Plot Info
Arrival of Virtupets
Main Article: Arrival of Virtupets
In August 2000, The Neopets Team ran a plot in which Dr. Sloth came to Neopia with a giant, orbital space station and mutation ray, with plans of taking over Neopia and repopulating it with his Virtupets. In an encoded message, however, it was revealed that he actually intended to mutate all the Neopets of the planet. He was stopped by the Space Faerie, who reversed Dr Sloth's mutation ray and caused it to explode, leaving the abandoned station in orbit.
Brucey B and the Lucky Coin
Main Article: Brucey B and the Lucky Coin
Having watched Brucey B play in the 3rd Annual Cheat! Championships, Dr. Sloth recognised the coin Brucey was using to win every game. Setting up a high-profile Cheat! game, a Jetsam working for Sloth won all of Brucey's money, and betted it against Brucey' Lucky Coin. He played one four, and as Brucey had already played four fours, he declared the Jetsam cheating. Somehow, Jetsam had cheated at Cheat!, and did, in fact, have the last four.
Dr. Sloth then used the coin to gain entrance to one of the pyramids in the Lost Desert, and raided the tomb. Loading the plunder onto a space ship, he used the artefact he had found there, the Staff of Alhasutek, to wage a war on Sakhmet. Although the attack started well, Dr. Sloth soon had to use the staff to summon the Rock Beast to hold off the defenders, and when it was defeated, did not have time to reanimate it before Brucey B destroyed the staff.
The weapon's destruction reversed its curses, and Dr. Sloth made his escape in a space ship built into one of the towers of the city.
Neopet Version 2
Main Article: Neopet Version 2
When Dr Sloth left the Space Station, he left behind an experiment called Neopet Version 2, which took hostage several Neopets on vacation, in a lift. When the Neopian Population wrote to Sloth, he briefly discussed how NPv2 would be deactivated, but didn't think the Neopians could actually do it.
Hannah and the Ice Caves
Main Article: Hannah and the Ice Caves
A mock ending was made for Hannah and the Ice Caves, where Dr. Sloth appeared and changed Hannah into a Mutant, claiming revenge against her for cancelling his own plot. A few users were able to catch it before it was reverted to the true ending.
Trivia
- It is implied in the Neopets.com T&C FAQ that Dr Sloth's full name is Francis Q. Slothberg Esq.
- Random Events which sloth is part of...
- A robot flies past you on fire! Help! Help! Dr. Sloth is after me!
- Being one of the most famous Villains of Neopia, he has many items created in his image, There are also a few avatars for Dr. Sloth:
Sloth! | I *heart* Sloth | I ♥ Happiness! |
- Although Dr. Sloth bears most resemblance to the Neopet Chia, it's uncertain if he even is one. In the editorial of issue 239 of the Neopian Times, it was asked what Neopet he was, and the answer was interupted by Dr. Sloth himself, angered that someone would consider such a thing.
- On October 5, 2006, Dr. Sloth was featured on Better Than You scoring 530 in Advert Attack. Prize was a Dr Sloth Pumpkin. Quoted saying...
So, you think you can beat me at my own game? You pathetic little pest! Let's see how you cope with my ads -- my guess is that you'll be running to cower behind the Space Faerie before this game is over! MUAHAHA!
