Template:Infobox Character Swirly, A.K.A. Experiment 383, is an illegal genetic experiment created by Jumba Jookiba. He is designed to hypnotize people into obeying the next order or suggestion they hear. If no order or suggestion is issued within a few minutes of the initial hypnosis, the effect is nullified. To break the hypnosis, one need only snap their fingers. His one true place is hypnotizing people at children's parties.
Bio
Experiment 383 was the 383rd genetic experiment created by Jumba with Hämsterviel's funding. He was designed to hypnotize his victims into obeying the next order or suggestion they heard. 383 and the other first 624 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, with 383's pod landing on a beach shore.
Lilo & Stitch: The Series
Swirly after being activated
When the tide came in, 383's pod got wet, activating the experiment. 383 then hypnotized a surfer, who had witnessed his activation, and left the scene.
After hypnotizing a tourist, 383 was caught in a fight between Lilo, Stitch and Gantu, which ended with Lilo and Stitch capturing 383.
Lilo and Stitch then took 383 back to their house, where Lilo named him Swirly. However, Swirly was able to escape and hypnotized both Lilo and Stitch.
Gantu later recaptured Swirly and was briefly hypnotized by the latter back at his ship. Experiment 625 was intrigued, and then amused himself by making Gantu do silly stuff. However, Gantu snapped out of his trance after hearing Hämsterviel's angry voice on the screen, though Hämsterviel toyed with Gantu a bit before snapping him out of it. He then told Gantu his clever scheme that involved using Swirly on the "Look at This!" show.
Later, Gantu used Swirly to hypnotize the manager into putting him on the "Look at This!" show. He then planned to use the experiment's hypnosis to turn the show's viewers into slaves. Lilo and Stitch, who both happened to be on the show, were still under Swirly's hypnosis from before.
Jumba, who was watching the show on TV back home, soon found out what was going on. He then came to the show in person and managed to snap Lilo and Stitch out of their trances so they could rescue Swirly.
Gantu using Swirly's hypnosis
Gantu attempted to use Swirly to hypnotize the show's viewers into slaves, but this failed when Lilo and Stitch recaptured Swirly, leaving Gantu holding the bag, and later found him a one true place at children's parties.
In "The Asteroid", Swirly was one of the six experiments whom Stitch convinced to come with him and Lilo to save Earth from an approaching asteroid. During the journey, Swirly hypnotized the asteroid's local asteroid squatter to prevent him from distracting the others while they used the ship's hyperdrive engine to safely redirect the asteroid.
Leroy & Stitch
The first 624 experiments, including Swirly, 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.
Swirly participated in the following battle between the experiments and the Leroy clones by hypnotizing Leroys.
However, 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 Oe", which caused the Leroy army to shut down due to the original Leroy's fail-safe.
Stitch! anime
Swirly made an appearance in the Stitch! anime where Hämsterviel used him to hypnotize Stitch into fighting for him. This episode also featured Plasmoid and Splodyhead who helped combat Stitch while he was hypnotized.
Biology
Appearance
Swirly is a small turquoise koala-like experiment with a huge head, an expressionless face with a little mouth, little nose, huge black pupil-less eyes (with white swirling lines when using his powers), rabbit-like ears, a single small antenna on the middle of his head and a small doglike tail.
Special Abilities
Swirly can hypnotize anyone who looks into his eyes to obey the next order or suggestion they hear by making his eyes swirl.
