Mr. Pokeylope

That's right, baby. Daddy's here.

–Mr. Pokeylope

Mr. Pokeylope is a sapient turtle who is close friends with Sheegor. In Psychonauts, he is held hostage by Dr. Loboto at Thorney Towers Home For the Distubed to keep Sheegor cooperative. After defeating Dr. Loboto, it is assumed he stayed with Sheegor to work for the Psychonauts.

Appearance[]

Mr. Pokeylope is a turtle with green scales and a chestnut colored shell. He has yellow eyes, a golden crown, yellow boots, and a white underbelly. His right eye is slightly larger than his left eye.

Psychonauts[]

Razputin Aquato must rescue Mr. Pokeylope in order to obtain Sheegor's assistance. Sheegor insisted that once he was rescued, "he'll know what to do."

Razputin decides to rescue the turtle before taking any further steps, and does so by luring him out with a slice of chocolate Birthday Cake. It then turns out Mr. Pokeylope is fully sentient, and also very intelligent, hatching a plan to defeat Loboto within seconds of being brought back to Sheegor.

He has Sheegor extract his brain and give it to the doctor to put in the tank, however the doctor tells her he is too busy and that she should just put it on the table. Razputin throws Pokeylope's brain into the tank using his telekinesis, allowing him to use the weapon to blast the doctor through the window. Pokeylope's brain is then returned to his body.

Character reactions (Psychonauts)[]

Before returning Mr. Pokeylope to Sheegor, Raz can introduce him to other characters and most will have a unique reaction to him.

Trivia[]

  • If Pyrokinesis is used on Mr. Pokeylope while he is in the cage, Dr. Loboto says "I smell turtle soup!"
  • Sasha, Lili and Milla cannot be introduced to Mr. Pokeylope because they are behind the trigger that enables the next cutscene (if the player has Mr. Pokeylope in their inventory) and thus cannot be accessed.
  • Curiously, Mr. Pokeylope's brain is apparently the size of a human brain, which is larger than his body.
  • Given his ability to use PSI-Blast and talk and his apparent relations to Linda, it can be assumed that he gained his powers through the psitanium in the food chain within that region.
  • If Clairvoyance is used on Mr. Pokeylope, he will see Raz as a slice of chocolate cake.
  • In a bonus cutscene unlocked at PSI-Cadet rank 100, Mr. Pokeylope is seen with Sheegor escaping the exploded asylum, when Linda comes to shore to see what is going on. It's revealed that Linda and "Sam", as she calls Mr. Pokeylope, know each other, but it has been ages since they last saw each other. Sam notes Linda looks different from last time, to which she replies she "put on a little weight". Pokeylope responds flirtatiously that he doesn't mind, after which they both laugh. Sheegor then joins in, prompting some awkward looks.
  • Raz can take Mr. Pokeylope into the collective unconscious, but not other mental worlds.
  • Tim Schafer joked in an promotional video for Psychonauts 2 that Mr. Pokeylope got shredded by the jet during the ending of Psychonauts.[1]
