Description
Personality
Being the sole slob out of all the Lixers, Turg doesn’t tend to move around too much and only moves when he has too. Often, he sleeps in the swamplands and never bothers to do anything for himself, but likes to hang out with the other Mixels as long it has nothing to do with him being healthy.
Physical Appearance
Turg is mostly yellow in color. His body and head are a single semicircle shape. He has spines that extend towards his back with two orange cat-like ears on top. He has a large single eye with a grey eyelid. He has a large lower jaw with four angular teeth pointing upwards. His tongue is red, long, and thin. He has long tentacles for arms with a separate extension for hands. His legs are very short and are usually hidden behind his jaw. His feet are slightly long, with a yellow and orange toe on each.
Ability
Origin
He can use his tongue like a vine to hop from place to place.
Biography
Early life
Little is known about Turg's past.
First adventures
Turg was one of many Mixels who were forced to outrun the Nixelstorm and help shut it down. ("Mixels Rush")
Turg and his Lixer brothers baked a cake and Maxed to share it, as well as clean up the mess in their kitchen they had made. ("Lixers Max in the Kitchen!")
When the Klinkers first showed up in Lixer Land, the Lixers found the Klinkers, and Gox was nervous and wanted to max, but instead of maxing, the Klinkers murped. He then found the murp and proceeded to lick him, yet shortly after the Krog and Slusho Mix scared him away, saving the Klinkers. Shortly after, he joined the other Mixels in their quest to find the mixamajig. After they found the mixamajig, he and all the other Mixels were captured in a big bag which was a trap by King Nixel. In order to stop him, every Mixel of their tribes had to max, but after King Nixel amalgamated with the Nixels, they had to create a big max together. The max defeated King Nixel, and after that Mixopolis was revealed by the Weldos. ("A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig")
Further adventures
Turg is very briefly seen coming out of a subway terminal in Mixopolis. ("Nixel, Nixel, Go Away")

In-Booklet code
Turg's in-booklet code for Mixels Rush is SLO99ER, which is Slobber when decoded. Once entered, it will unlock a Turg card for the card album.
Background Information
- As seen in his description at LEGO.com, he is based on a combination of a chicken and a frog. However, in his overall look, he does not seem to share many similarities with either of these animals; save for a long tongue similar to a frog's, along with being semi-amphibious in nature. His tentacles, however, may have meant to represent chicken wings in his LEGO form.
- His official bio was changed due to unintentionally containing an archaic term that is inappropriate in the United Kingdom (That one being "Window Licker").[2]
Trivia
- His orange arms are exclusive to his set. However, in his cartoon form, they are completely yellow.
- At the Nuremberg Toy Fair, his eye was tilted giving him an angry expression, and it also had a darker eyelid color. However, the half-closed eye piece cannot normally connect to Turg at an angle like that, so it was probably a different print of that piece.
- He has one orange toe on each foot in LEGO form, but two toes in cartoon form, one yellow and one orange.
- He has not only the longest tongue of the Lixers, but the longest tongue of all Mixels. It is about as long as Jawg's tail.

Turg's name is a corrupted pun word for "tongue". It may also be a shortened form of the word turgid, meaning swollen and distended.
