Pudge is a Crew Member in Disney Speedstorm. It is a Common Crew Member which means it amplifies two Racer statistics (Acceleration, Combat) and enhances one skill (Hack). Pudge is part of the Lilo & Stitch Collection.

Origin

Pudge is a unique species of tropical fish first introduced in the opening of "Lilo & Stitch". He later makes appearances in "Lilo & Stitch: The Series" in the episode "Sinker" and is mentioned in the episodes "Cannonball" and "Ploot". Lilo has a special bond with Pudge and believes that he has the power to control the weather. As a result, she feeds him a peanut butter sandwich every Thursday as an offering.

Physically, Pudge is a small, orange tropical fish with blue eyes and blue spots on his back. He has four fins with lighter orange tips. Lilo often gives him sandwiches, though his mouth is too small to consume them entirely.

While Pudge appears to be a regular tropical saltwater fish with no supernatural abilities, Lilo's belief in his weather-controlling powers is a recurring theme. In the original film, the weather changes when Lilo emerges from the water and clears up as she returns to shore, hinting at a possible connection.

In the Chibi Tiny Tales short "All Hail Pudge!", Pudge is depicted as sapient and shown to have actual weather manipulation powers. When Lilo fails to arrive on time for the Sandwich Day, he creates a tropical storm in response. However, this short is not considered canon in the universe of the Lilo & Stitch franchise.

Despite the ambiguity surrounding Pudge's weather-controlling abilities, he remains a beloved character in the enchanting world of "Lilo & Stitch," where his interactions with Lilo add a touch of magic to the story.
