A true pleasure seeker who thinks everyone should relax and if they need him for anything, he’ll be at the bar. Murphy voices “Stupendous”, Tyrannis’ half-sister, daughter of Deliria and a cyclops. Trussell plays “Hippocampus,” Tyrannis’ half-brother, the offspring of Shlub and a mermaid, and obviously a hot mess, biologically speaking.
