Tomdroid
The Tomdroid was an android duplicate of Tom Jones who once menaced Brenda Soobie and Panda.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Tomdroid was created by an alien race as part of a plot to kidnap Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley from the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. After a wild night partying with the Presleys, Brenda Soobie and Panda tried to meet "Tom Jones" backstage, only to figure out the Tomdroid's true nature and foil the aliens' plans. With his primary directive moot, the Tomdroid decided to seek revenge on "the club singer and her tiny pet" for depriving him of his reason for being, chasing the two through the corridors.
Eventually, they arrived at a dead end in the basement, in a strange room that somehow had a number of windows. Realising that these were supernaturla portals, Brenda and Panda fled through one, ending up in the changing room of the Shopkeeper's shop in Samhain. There, knowing the Tomdroid would be hot on their heels, they maneuvered another portal-mirror in front of the one they'd come through; when the Tomdroid tried to climb in after them, he immediately passed through the second mirror and ended up in a desert. When he tried to go back the way he came, the portal dropped him somewhere else, and so on for twenty-eight attempts in a row before he decided to give up and go into power-saving mode until his situation changed.

Physical appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]
He was an extremely lifelike copy of Tom Jones, wearing "trousers so tight they might have been sprayed on" and a frilled shirt. However, after he revealed his true nature, his eyes started glowing red, and his sideburns "fanned in and out like gills to reveal speakers whenever musical accompaniment was required".
